Last Days in Brussels!

This has been a busy last week!  Monday we had IS in the morning.  She finished up her material and then we headed to mini-Europe.  I wasn't all that impressed with it actually.  The places they had there were cool, the buildings really look similar, but it just wasn't very much fun.  But I got some cool pictures with some of the places I have been before like Big Ben and the leaning tower of Pisa so that was neat!  I haven't put the pictures on my computer yet, but when I do I will put them on here as well!  Tuesday we had our last psychology class and we heard a lecture on emotions.  It was pretty interesting, but now that I think about it, I don't remember much about it.  Yesterday afternoon we had a surprise field trip to Leuven, which is a small college town outside of Brussels.  It was really pretty!  We went into a couple of the churches, which were really beautiful inside.  You had to walk a little ways to get to the really cool architecture, but we got there and it was amazing!  They have statues everywhere!  We spent most of the afternoon there and then came back to finish working on our final presentations for our classes.
 
This morning was our psychology final.  I said previously that we had to make up a pretend experiment.  Apparently I did pretty well on mine!  After everyone had taken their turn, the 4 teachers went into the hall to talk about what grade we should have.  When they came back in they said, "you all have a's, but there are some special recognitions.  Casey for paying attention the most in class and Erin for having the best presentation.  Her methodology session was very well done!"  I was really excited, and I'm glad I did so well!  After class, our entire psych group, including the teachers, went out for lunch.  We sat at the table and talked for about 2 hours! It was really cool getting to hang out with everyone.  Afterwards, Emily and I went to the Grand Place to do a little shopping.  I ended up getting some chocolates to nibble on this week (don't worry, I'm bringing some chocolate home for you all to taste!), a t-shirt for myself, and a pretty lace thing to put on a table.  I am really excited about the lace!  It is so pretty!  

Tomorrow is my IS final and that is just the group presentation of pictures.  I have already sent in my paper and my own personal pictures.  I suppose I will have to pack tomorrow as well!  I can't wait to see you all on Sunday!  Only 4 days away:)

Good for you! I'm not at all surprised that your presentation was extra special. That's great.
I'm looking forward to the pictures, too.
