The final week: Week 16

We started the week with a biking trip along the Rhine. The views were amazing, but the trip wasn't exactly peaceful. We were all very stressed about having our third physiology exam the next day, and then the start of finals the day after that - making it a little hard to enjoy the ride. We also got to see a neat museum that used to be the only bridge crossing the Rhine in wartimes. Afterward, we had a delicious Italian lunch with gelato to top it all off (Danke Prof. Dr. Wasser!). The rest of the week was packed full with studying and exams, and two sleepovers at the AIB!! Somewhere in there way the first of May, or May Day, a neat German holiday where the young boys decorate a maple tree to put in their girlfriend's yard. It was a cute little thing to see that reminded me of silly traditions at home, like homecoming mums. At the end of the week when finals were finally over, we got to relax with a Rhine cruise and farewell party. It's bittersweet going home, but I am ready for this next chapter of my life!
