But if you know me very well, you also know I was having major doubts about going, and declined. I did not apply thinking "I will go to Prague and practice my Czech." I don't know any Czech, I take Arabic, or " I will go to Prague to live with a host family and learn about Czech culture". I dont really give a fuck about Czech culture, and I hate living with rules and restrictions and having no privacy, or " I would love to take classes at Charles University". No, I dont like to take classes anywhere especially when they are on the politics of Europe. I mostly applied because I've wanted to go abroad since I was very tiny, and I imagined it as an opportunity to travel and do whatever I wanted in Europe.
Wrong. The program I applied for happens to be probably the most restrictive one AU offers. One week off of classes for a pre-planned trip to places I've already been, and theyre taking away both the meal stipend and no-classes-on-fridays rule the program has now. So, why would I pay alot of money to go abroad for a traveling experience when that isnt an option anymore?
Please believe me when I say I've lived abroad before, I will live abroad again, and I will do it on my own terms as I do everything else.
So I guess you could say that I am not going to Prague because I don't like to be told what to do.
Sounds like me, alright.
