Beer Olympics!

Hi everyone!!

The days have just been flying by SO fast...it's crazy. Yesterday, we competed in the first annual Beer Olympics. Ha ha. Yes, you heard right, we all split into teams and had a fun day of playing games and competing against each other. Anna and I were on one team (team Bach) and Andrea and Suzanne were on the other (team Luther). We all chose these names because of the course we're taking on Luther and Bach. :) clever, huh? So we had a beautiful day and were able to be outside in the sun all afternoon. We all had such a great time and definitely will never forget it!

These past couple of days all 11 of us have been getting into sand volleyball. It's so fun because it is a great break from studying and being in our rooms. We all meet up and walk to the volleyball courts which are only about 10 minutes away. We have the best time just playing and rotating teams and laughing constantly! I'm so glad we discovered such a fun thing to do and the Valpo program has all these balls and fun items to play all types of sports with. We've been using our resources A LOT! Yesterday, we played a ton of volleyball so I woke up (along with everyone else) with sore muscles that I forgot I had! haha

Other than that, we have all been preparing for finals, watching movies and enjoying the last days in the RT!

We only have 10 days left. It is really winding down and I can honestly say (and speak for everyone else too) that this is going to be the most bitter sweet whirl-wind time for our emotions. We are all so excited to get home and see everyone we love, but we have become so accustomed to this life that it is going to be so hard to say good-bye to it.

We will keep you posted as to how our first final goes on Monday (ART). Tonight is movie night with the whole group! Not sure what we're watching, but we're all excited :)

Can't wait to see you all in no time at all...WOW... I never thought I'd be saying that.

Love you all!

Lauren & the Germany Girls :)
