Ten Days to Departure

The semester is rapidly coming to a close and we leave for Germany in just ten days. This morning we had our final class meeting, during which we took our second group photo. We figured we will be getting a lot of practice taking group photos in Germany.

We've covered quite a lot in seven weeks of class - we've looked a bit at German economics, politics, culture, and business culture. We had a panel discussion with German faculty, staff, and a current exchange student. The student teams have researched and presented on companies and cultural sites we will visit, and have collaborated with business students in Germany to address a business challenge for six of the companies we are visiting. Our students will present their proposals to us here next week, and will present again with their German teammates in
Schwäbisch Hall.

I'm not ready for this trip. I need to plan, shop, and pack, but there's a lot going on before we leave - including two nights of rehearsal, two concerts, and our Senior Recognition events. Somehow I need to get some rest, too!
