Goodbye Germany
These past 6 weeks have been amazing. I was so excited going into this trip, although a little weary to start school 8 weeks early. But it was definitely worth it. It was so cool to live in another culture for so long, while not being a tourist, which was kind of a strange feeling. Continue reading “Goodbye Germany”

Epilogue
Six weeks went by fast–too fast, in my opinion. This summer was an absolute once in a lifetime experience. I’m so thankful for the relationships I built; the Engineering class I was able to take; and the deep, rich history that Germany offers. From the ongoing day-to-day silly games that we played while traveling and the quiet group reflections while visiting Holocaust Memorials; I don’t believe we could’ve had a better, more supportive group.

Die Ende

The End (but not really)
I’ve said it a couple times already, but this trip felt simultaneously as long as a year and as short as a week. We saw so much history and culture, tried so many new things, and met so many interesting people. But, as all things must, our time in Berlin has drawn to a close. As I write this, I’m sitting in a chair flying over the Atlantic on our way home. I am extremely thankful for this opportunity, and I would wish for everyone to be able to do something like this. To not just visit a different culture, but live in it for a little while. To not just read about history in books or watch it in films, but visit it in person. To do something new and unknown to you, until you become comfortable with it.
