So, the last day of classes we finished the book that we've been learning from, and played "Tabu junior" Which is Taboo for kids in Germany but with speaking, drawing or Charades. I ended up going first on my team and got 3 points! Woo, all my American game nights paid off! In the end my team won by I think 5 points, I don't remember exactly. It was fun though, it tested our vocabulary. Everyone said goodbye to each other and went our ways. The rest of the day was boring because I had no homework and didn't really know what to do with myself.
Around 18.00 (6 pm), I left to go to the Abschiedsabend "Farewell evening", Rachel stayed behind potentially to sleep. I got to the meeting location at about 5 or so minutes prior to the meeting time and waited there for 20 minutes and saw no one familiar. I decided to walk around to try and find Enchilada Restaurant, no one was there. I walked back to the meeting area, again I saw no one, so I went back to Enchilada. As I was walking, someone called my name, it was Hugo, a guy from my class. He hadn't seen anyone either. We went into Enchilada together, no one was there, went back to "Am Brill" and that's when I realized there were two "Am Brill" Haltestellen, however no one was at either. We wandered back and forth a few times, then I realized that I had been given the number of someone else who was coming by another classmate. I texted him, he said he was coming, and so Hugo and I went back to Enchilada and got a table and ordered some drinks.
None of the people from the culture program were there, like they normally are (probably because no one actually wrote their name down on the sign-up list). We talked and waited for another half an hour until the other people showed up. During then I looked through their menu and couldn't help but laugh at the names for the drinks under their "Smirnoff Wodka" drinks. Not too long after that another two people came in and said that the food was terrible there and that we should go to Luv, which was just down the street. About 30 minutes later Lucas' food finally came. I had completely forgotten he had even ordered something. He ate, we left and we went to Luv to find a lot of other people from the Goethe Insitut there. Still, no one from the culture program. Hugo and I ended up splitting some of the most delicious pasta with pesto and garlic I had ever tasted. During that time (approx. 9:30pm), I was persuaded to go to Hamburg the next day (Thursday, the day before I left for Mannheim) at 9:30am to go shopping and just hang out. On my tram ride back I realized that I had already agreed to have a late lunch/ get together with Rachel, Tatiana, Kerly, and potentially Rowan.
I arrived home, told Rachel my story and she said I shouldn't worry about it. Going to Hamburg would be cool, and she was sure Tatiana would understand. I went to sleep, tired, and couldn't wait for the next day.
