Monday, We got an extra 45 minutes to sleep in before meeting the bus out front to take us to the Council of Europe!! Of course the buses were over 30 minutes late again. Dr. Brawter was not happy. We got to the building and had our tour and a man who worked in the council talked to us about it for a while. It was really cool to see the building. Many European Union debates have taken there as well. I didn’t really know as much about the Council of Europe so it was nice to learn a little bit about it. I definitely geeked out a little at the Council of Europe. Taylor and I got I heart COE tshirts and so the picture below is us standing outside with the shirts!
We are having class at 2 today We talked about rescue and liberation and then watched a movie about Austwitz told by a greek boxer who survived the camp. It was really depressing and by the time the film was done my brain and emotions were fried. But then Dr. Brawter and Brantz gave us our exam. It was a difficult essay question so we all were worried. We had dinner at the Chateau and then started studying for the exam. I literally had no motivation to write my study guide. I got as much done as I could and then skyped Ian and went back to work on it after that.
Today we woke up to take the final. The exam went well, I feel like I was a little scatter brained but we'll see. We then had escargot at 11 for lunch. It was really good, extremely garlic-y. Now we are waiting until 12:30 to go into Strasbourg for the last time. I'm going to try to find something for Ian today, which is kind of difficult because he won't give me any hints. Tonight we are having a crash course in German...that should be interesting. And then we have a barbeque cookout with the other schools that are here right now at the Chateau. It's our last night, and I'm sad to leave France but SO excited about Germany and Austria.
