Das Ende Ist Nahe

The Final Days in Bonn

The last few weeks have been crazy.. I guess finals are always that way. In the past two weeks, I have had six exams and the final presentation for enmodes. Honestly, at the beginning of the weeks from hell, I thought I was going to die... But I kind of kicked some booty (not to toot my own horn). I have secured an A in three of my four classes. Now I impatiently await my grade in Signals... To be honest I am pretty terrified. That final was probably the hardest test I have ever taken and it took the class over three hours to finish. I walked out of that final with pudding brain.. Not even potato brain. I am just praying to God now that I did well enough on that exam to make an A. I worked so hard that I will probably cry if I don't make an A.. Oh well. There is nothing I can do about it now. Today I started packing to go home and it made me kind of sad. I am going to miss this place. Bonn is my second home now. I know the city like the back of my unmanicured hand, and I will miss it dearly. 

I am ready to see my family though. I miss them all so much. I am actually coming home at the perfect time though! My grandfather won an award for being the Alumni of the Year at Stephen F. Austin State University, and his award ceremony is Thursday evening. I will actually get to attend and that makes me so so happy. The next few days should be a fun way to end the trip though. Tomorrow we go on a Rhine cruise and I am pumped. We get to see all the castles along the Rhine and even get to tour one I think. The weather is supposed to be perfect (a rare occurrence for Bonn), so I think it will be a perfect way to wrap up the trip. Tomorrow evening we are all going to a Lumineers concert in Koln. I don't really know many of their songs, but I am looking forward to getting to spend time with my friends and enjoying one of our last nights in Europe. Tuesday I think I'm just going to spend sometime with Martina. I really am going to miss her. I was very blessed with my housing situation this semester. I cannot imagine a better host mom and I am so thankful. Wednesday I go home.. That is crazy.. I guess I will write again once I am back in the states. Until next time blog..
