Week 12

Sorry for the lateness of this post. I am running down to the wire on my internship, trying to get everything done before Friday while preparing a 20 minute presentation on my experiences that I have to do for the final session. At the same time, I'm trying to get all of my stuff packed before Saturday so that I can take it to the local package store to weigh it and make sure I don't need to ship anything. As you can imagine, this means I'm quite swamped!

Well last week was an interesting one. On Wednesday, my friend Mandy and I celebrated our birthdays by inviting the other interns out to mini-golf. Only four of us could make it, but we had a fun evening. I came in second! After my impressive bowling performance at Ashley's goodbye party a few weeks ago, I've now built myself a reputation as an all-around good sports person. I'm not sure how this happened. I maintain that it was all a fluke.

On Friday, Mandy and I took off for München for the weekend. We arrived at our hostel very late, but had the room to ourselves for the first night. On Saturday, we went to Elly Seidl, BMW Welt, the Olympia Park and Sommerfest, and finished up with dinner at Löwenbräu (they brew my all time favorite beer! Franziskaner Weißbier!). On Saturday, we made our way to the Deutsches Museum where we explored the history of flight, glassblowing, and rode a big ride called the Spacewalker, which put you in a little plane that you could flip while the ride went in circles.

There won't be any more updates to this blog. In less than a week, I'm heading home! So wish me luck on my presentation, and I'll see you all when I get back!
