This may come as a surprise, but I had a chocolate croissant and a latte for breakfast. However, I was able to sleep in because today is presentations day. I woke up at 9, showered, and dressed in business professional, the last time I will have to dress up during this trip. The Audi group, Lauren, Ryan, Joe, and I, head over to University together to meet up with the rest of our group. Our presentation is completed by this time, so now all we have to do is practice.
It took a while to completely perfect our presentation but after we did, we were confident the Audi group would do well. We wanted to go second, our thoughts were that we aren’t first to go, but we don’t have to wait too long to finish. We ended up being fourth, in the end it worked out well. We presented right after the halfway break, everyone was refreshed and ready to see the most impressive presentation of the day.
Everything went well! In fact, everyone did great on their presentations, I would be surprised if anyone gets a bad grade. Each presentation had their own touch of style from the company that they visited. You could tell how much effort each student put into their presentation and representing their company the best way they can. The relief of being done came right after we finished our presentation. The hard part of the Germany trip was over and now began the time to explore and enjoy. Immediately after presentations a group of Pitt students went to eat gelato at a little shop on the main street.
Soon after it is time for the goodbye dinner. All of the German and American students, along with the master students and teachers came together for one final meal. We have a few options, a lot of people went for the schnitzel but I decided on the pasta. All the students ate and reminisced about the past two weeks. This time went by so fast you blink and it’s over. I knew this dinner was not the last time I would be seeing the German students. We still had Thursday and Friday. But still I did not want to think about saying goodbye just yet.
