June 29 2012


Today was our last full day in Wittenberg and in Germany. We started the day with the rest of the presentations. Jennifer and I went last. I was so nervous, I know I read too much from my sheet, I really hate doing that but it would be better than running out of the room or standing there during a pause that lasts forever.
After those were finished we had a 30 minute break and Jennifer, Simonne, and I walked down Collegianstraβe and did some window shopping in preparation for the needed shopping we must do before we leave tomorrow. We all put off some of our souvenir for family member shopping. I also got one last kugel, it was cherry, and as always, incredibly delicious.
When we got back to the Seminar Room we did evaluations for the Leucorea. I was honest in my comments, I really liked the program but I think we should have worked more on vocabulary and grammar -- on speaking, reading, and writing, German, rather than using up so much time to  play games. Other than that I really did like the program and enjoyed this time.
After we got our certificates and we could be assured of having passed, Jennifer and I went shopping and we both agreed that Herr Weigel should have stayed one more day. It was weird, his not being open for us to sit and get some cola, coffee, and conversation.
Everyone then met up at the Independent until Sweet Apple opened. At Sweet Apple we all agreed to meet at the Kartoffel House for one last meal together in Wittenberg. It was really great being able to hang out with our group so much and have so much free time to say goodbye to Wittenberg. I do plan on coming back.
