Today I slept in until 10am (missing the best breakfast...)and then took a run, which was cut short due to the 20 degree weather. It was still nice to get my workout in because I've never eaten so much bread in my life. I can't wait to get back to my weekly exercise routine! I love it and I miss it! Anyway, after my run in the snow, Amy, Anna, and I put the last touches on the presentation for that afternoon. We ate our packed lunches from the hotel. I had a cheese, hard-boiled egg on famous bread. It was famous because it had pumpkin seeds on them! YUM! Then I took a nap. I was very disappointed that we didn't go into Maastricht to shop, but there wasn't any time left by the time everyone woke up. This just means I will have tons of extra money let over for Belgium chocolate! hehe
Presentations began at 4pm. I didn't feel as nervous as usual, but when I get in front of the room, I sounded so scatter-brained and it really upsets me. I prepared by reading over my slides and taking notes and I still sounded silly. I wish presenting information to an audience came naturally to me. I will try my hardest to work on this. I guess having an anxiety disorder affects my presenting skills... But overall, my group presentation was great! It turned into a discussion which was informative! It was nice to watch other presentations because it reminded me of all the fun we've had together! I'll miss this entire group so much. I sure hope we have reunions this semester. I am so happy that Stacy and Dirk lead our group.
Our farewell dinner was next on the agenda. It was mostly seafood and because I was brought up not eating seafood, I opted for the vegetarian dish. It was delicious! The dessert was fabulous!! I was stuffed. Our table had a lot of laughs! It's so nice to grow close to a group in such a short amount of time. It's wonderful how these types of things work. After dinner, I laid down and was super sleepy but still chatted with a few people and then headed to bed. It was a relaxing day! I am looking forward to the Belgium experience in this 'decent' hostel. hehe
No photos AGAIN! I guess I weren't too eventful today!
