WOOT WOOT!

Today was the last day of class!

After class, I got my paper and grade for the class. B+. I don't know if I should be happy or upset. Comparing my grades to everyone else's, I could've received an A- if I had only passed in my paper on time... but I totally thought I failed because I almost never participated in discussion, (this was considered extra credit) and I, as well as everyone else in the class, thought I totally bombed the presentations. IN YOUR FACE, BITCHES!

I guess I'm happy then. Haha.

We had our last formal dinner today as well. So sad :( We took a huge group picture outside. Obviously, I wanted to do a jumping picture. (If you haven't seen my Facebook albums of the summer so far, I have at least one jumping picture for everywhere I went. Hehe.) All I heard was everyone yelling, "NO!" in unison. Haha. So I and some others took jumping pictures ourselves.

We all got to sit with our major class tutors, and I sat right next to him. I wish we had more time with our tutors because it was finally not as awkward all being around him. It took us a while to not feel intimidated by him. Haha. He asked us all what our plans were when we got back to school, and Naveen told him about my "social experiment" that I'm planning to do.

I decided last spring that I would decline housing for junior year, the whole year. I know people have done it before, but from what I researched, they all did it to save money, and even though my financial situation kind of sucks, paying for housing would be totally doable. I plan sleep in the library, shower in the rec center, and/or stay in anyone's place that offers. I want to live life! Make bad decisions and fix them. I also think this will help me "think quick on my feet", appreciate things more, and become more independent. This would of course be documented through video. I was always interested in photography and film, but other than joining the Photography Club in high school, taking a week-long course in film the summer before my sophomore year of high school, and always being the one to edit the skits for classes, I never pursued it or did anything about it because honestly, I don't think I'm creative enough to do it well, let alone make money from it. Documenting this experience will be just be for fun because I like to do it. Maybe it will be part of my portfolio for film school one day. Maybe.

Upon hearing this, my tutor was speechless. Yeah, I get that a lot when I explain the situation. Haha. He brought up how I can achieve what I wanted while having housing, but that is out of the picture for me. So he laughed, and wished me luck.

I also found out why we had to pay for Baby Love Bar yesterday night. Tuesday nights is gay nights... Those Germans would've thought that I was poking fun of them, since I thought one of them was gay... I've been questioning my 'dar here... ever since I found out Nick was.. I made such a fool out of myself... I guess that's what happens when you haven't had some for a while. Hahaha.

After dinner, which was really good, we went down to the beer cellar. All the minor professors were there as well. I had nice conversations with both of my tutors and we all took class pictures. Teehee. Apparently, my minor tutor had never taken a picture with his students before. I need to send him those pictures to remember us by. I wish I got a chance to say goodbye to him. When our major tutor was about to leave, he was hesitant, because he didn't know if it was appropriate to kiss us on the cheeks to bid us farewell or just to give us handshakes. Haha. I think its so cute how everyone gives each other kisses when they say their goodbyes.

When the beer cellar closed, we decided to go on a pubcrawl. I finally took my first picture in a phone booth!!!

We ended up just going to the Cape of Good Hope and the Half Moon, had some drinks, went to a different kebab cart and then back to the room. Now I'm trying to book my Paris and London trips for the next week...
