Winding Down Ilmenau

The closing program that we are doing is so “European” that I don’t understand the point of it, but the Russians are so happy and excited about it that I am not going to say a word. We are making a film slide show thing. Like I said I don’t understand, but I am going to go along with it and hope that it works out alright. Of course if it doesn’t they’ll already be on the train home when Frau Pollack, and I are presenting it. So if it sucks they won’t know and the 2 of us will get the blame for it even though our parts were minimal. I don’t know what my role in the film will be just yet, (they told me in Russian) but I will make the best of it. As for the program ending I have no idea where the 3 weeks went! It was so fast I feel like I blinked and missed it! I have so many good memories! They were just made too and fast one right after the other! I can barely comprehend them all! As for what’s next- only 3 of 10 are making the trek back the US on the 24. The rest of us are staying. Although I am staying the longest out of every one and the coming week is weighing upon me. What am I doing, where am I going, I know these answers, but I still give them as much thought as if they were unknown. I have so much more to look forward to and I wonder what fate will toss across my path while I am here. I wonder if it will be love… Somehow I doubt it, but ya never know!
