This week was the week before our program excursion to Paris and spring break. While all of us were incredibly excited to go to Paris and travel throughout Europe in the week after, it also meant we had to get a lot of stuff done in that week beforehand. We had Monday off for the Rosen Montag parade in Cologne (not even the Germans had school), so we had a short week, a project and presentation due, as well as a physiology test and circuits homework due.
So we put off sleeping for a while.
Our point teams for the enmodes project met daily for hours, tying up loose ends, getting our ideas straightened out and ready for presentation to the company executives. Any and all spare time was split between talking out the physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and trying to wrap our arms around the latest fight that was 211 homework. On Ash Wednesday we had a Paris pre-departure meeting where we got to make our own crepes for lunch to get us in the mood (score). It took our minds off the looming trials of the days to come and gave us something to look forward to and to work towards. The presentations the following day actual went very well, the two enmodes execs that came to hear our ideas were very nice, asked good questions to understand our designs, and we got lunch again (score is now 2-0). Finally, all that was left was our physiology test and finishing up our homework. The test on Friday was tricky, but, as always, we got through it, turned in our homework, and then went home to chase the sleep we had let get away from us at the beginning of the week. I forgot to mention this earlier, but the big discovery of this week was the 59c espresso we found at Rewe, the local grocery store that's only about a 5 minute walk from the AIB. I'm still not sure whether or not this can be considered a score, as it was great stuff that kept me from sleeping, but on the other hand, it kept me from sleeping... No matter, though: we made it through the week, and now it's time for Paris!
