Berlin als ein Fremder

So I get a week to spend in Berlin without the burden of classes and finals! Like I said earlier, goodbye's have been difficult but touring Berlin has helped keep things positive. I've crammed so much into the past few days! Here's a highlight recap since the day of my last final.

Thursday: Trip to Peacock Island and then the end of the semester banquet. Here's two pics of Peacock Island






Friday:Krumme Lanke then to a Beer Garten with Jonathan's family, and finally our party




yeah, the water was REAL cold...


We all had a LOT of fun at the party...I'm sorry Tom, I just had to add this one


That's it for now. More updates later! Today I have to pack up my whole room and get ready to move out tomorrow :-/

Time to say goooodbyyyyee (just imagine Sarah Brightman's voice singing that)

Hello hello! I realize I haven't written in a long time. I think I've been busy surviving finals and goodbyes, two things that I hate. The finals have been rough and the goodbye's rougher. I think I am not dipping as deeply into the sadness of goodbye as I usually do. I am not sure yet if that is denial or if it's me just not trumping up the feelings. Regardless of the right or wrong, I'm doing it. I think sometimes there are things in life you just gotta do, and the doing is more important than the how. Anyway, here are a few "last" photos

Susanne is one of the most special, unique women I have ever met.







My two fellow OG dinner buddies. 60some dinners later, I'm gonna miss those two



The Bretzelbrotchen filling station. I will miss the Kaufland bread :-/
