An Old Blog Post–Leaving Prague
This is a post from and old blog on Blogger. It’s my last tutoring session when I studied in Prague in 2008. We met for the last time today. It was laborious, we both knew. We didn’t weep over the small things. We talked about video games and we sat in silence. We played with [...]
