Why are you here?
I’m in Prague because it’s the closest study abroad site to where my grandparents are from – Slovakia. Hence the “sky” in Kolinovsky.

Since you arrived in Prague, what has totally freaked you out?
The fact that I ruined all of my clothes because I didn’t know how the laundry worked. I don’t know what I did wrong!

Briefly describe your previous publication experience.
I worked at the Scranton Times this summer. I had one really good day because I got to interview one of the actresses from The Office.

Really? Who?
Melora Hardin. She plays Jan. And I had a really bad day there because they made me go out looking for a body in a landfill.

A body? As in a dead body?
That’s right. A dead body.

Name a few of your favorite newspapers, blogs, websites…
I read Time religiously… the Daily Beast… I love my Scranton newspaper…

What’s your dream job?
I don’t really know. I just want a job in journalism.

Can you speak any other languages? How well?
I can speak German enough to get around. I can read a German novel.

What are your travel plans?
Madrid and Italy.

Tell me something that you are irrationally excited about.
My guiltiest pleasure in life is watching The Biggest Loser.

Tell me something about you I will not learn from your Facebook page.
I have a brother. He’s not on Facebook.

What do you know that I don’t?
What it feels like to have a kidney stone.

What has been the best thing about Prague so far?
One really good night at Beer Factory.
