Dear International Students,Our last newsletter was mainly focused on supporting you during the tuff times of the examination period. Soon, this will be over, so don't worry. But what's next? How about joining an international academic competition? Or finally transforming your podcast idea into reality? After the long study sessions, slouching over the books, you might also consider getting active again. Then the student Multisport card might be just the right thing for you! And if you are thinking about applying for a job, scholarship, or study abroad trip, our CV seminar might help increase your chances of being accepted. Take care, and we'll be back with more, as always, the first work Monday of the month. Martin International Student Advisor, CU Point |

Masks and costumes worn during the Czech Shrovetide festivities at the countryside. |
The “F” in February stands for “fun” (clickbait) February is said to be the month of feasts and unbound joy, compensating for the fasting during Advent and the upcoming Lent. It’s the Shrovetide (“masopust”), after all! Such cheerful characteristics are fitting even today, considering the exam period is ending as well. Yay! Moreover, St. Valentine’s Day is also nearby – don’t forget! As you might already guess, all these festivities tend to have the effect of producing offsprings in time for Advent, hence the saying “St. Martin will show what Shrovetide can do!”. Anyway, the Shrovetide culminates on February 21, the day known as Mardi Gras in French (“Fat Tuesday”). So, if you are thinking about fasting again, then this might be a good starting point for you. Alternatively, if you wish to go “against the grain” so to speak, then the awareness campaign called “Suchej únor” is also a great starting point. |
