As I write, I am sitting in the Double coffee for the last time with Alex and Karen. I cannot believe we are going home tomorrow. Karen is analyzing everyone in the group for us while we eat ice cream.
We started off our day with a lecture from Bruce on the history of banking. Afterwards, we headed to Lido, a huge Latvian buffet style restaurant with a small amusement park outside, where we were overwhelmed by all of the types of food available. We went to the Institute of Solid State Physics for our last company visit. The combination of the language barrier and the nature of the information went right over my head, but I did enjoy seeing the images on the atomic microscope (just like all of the elementary school students who visit). The farewell dinner was fairly anticlimactic as not everyone went at the same time. I hope I get a chance to say goodbye to everyone tonight since those of us going through Amsterdam have to leave the hotel at 4:20 tomorrow morning. Before we leave in the morning I have to finish my paper for Dr. Shook which is proving to be more difficult then I had expected. I don't want to be working on it right now, but I am glad to have to think about the trip in terms of how it will help me in my professional life. To those who out there reading, I hope you have enjoyed the blog, and to my classmates who are continuing their European adventures, have fun and be safe,
Kate
