good byes

aufwiedersehn.

over the 5 weeks i got to know everyone on the trip. some people i got to know really well but i'm looking forward to the friendships we will build when we are back in College Station. we've shared many laughs, angers, frustrations and helped each other get through the trip. we are now family and the memories from this trip are PRICELESS. i am ever so greatful that i had the opportunity to spend this time with each and every one of you.

Dr. Wasser- you are the coolest prof i know! i'm so glad i was able to get to know you through this trip. i love your passion for physiology and germany. honestly, you look like a german! you and rhinea could be brothers. i couldn't imagine a better prof to share this experience with. because of your enthusiasm about this trip, i was looking forward to an amazing time and it was everything i was expecting and more. thank you for everything and we will be seeing you soon!

Olaf- COSMOOOOOOO is so cute. you make a good daddy too! maybe squeezing him to go poop isn't the best thing...but that's okay. i'm glad to have gotten to know you! berlin was alot of fun and i wish we could have hung out with you more! i will definitely be coming back to germany within the next year and i hope i can maybe be a student worker at the AIB during my stay. i will keep in contact with you about that though. keep being the badass you are! i'm also going to buy that mouth spray you use/squirted on my face. i actually kinda like it.

Justin- met you in London with your giraffe pillow! you are hilarious with your one liners and lines that should have stayed in your head. (baden, its like bin laden....) i'll be seeing you at martini street. i'm expecting VIP treatment!

Laura- you are one of the sweetest people i've met! your laugh is infectious and i hope that you will always be the same happy person that i know! woo moulin rouge! looking forward to see you in CS!

Jena- sup girl! we've had some fun times through out this program and i am definitely looking forward to being sushi buddies!! p.s. all that chocolate we bought is definitely melted together right now.

Nicole- texas girl :D haha i'm glad that i got to know you this trip and that we shared moulin rouge together! once in a life time experience. i wish i could have gotten to know you a little bit better, see you back in CS!

Coral- haaaaaay. before the trip started i really didn't think we'd be friends! hahah how wrong i was! i'm glad we clicked that one day on the train... looking forward to seein you back in CS :D we have to keep reporting news. we were born to do it. lol remember when alex almost fell down the escalator?? hilarious. ohh and that indian food. DELICIOUS! RFL

Mark- markyyyy. i love your "nein", crazy hair in the morning, and that little shirt you bought your nephew! thanks for saving my life in switzerland. i'm forever in debt to you. i love your sense of humor and you never failed to make me laugh. i'm glad i could expose you and jena to indian food! i hope that you will keep eating it! be careful of sketchy places though.

Alex- you are THE goofiest person i know. we came into this trip as alright friends and we left as great friends. i'm glad i got to actually know you better and saw what kind of person you really are! one of the sweetest guys i know. (minus your outbursts) don't drink jager anymore, haha. seroiusly, if you weren't on this trip...things would have been alot different. no one would have gotten stung by a bee, spilled their food, tripped every 2 seconds, told sarah she's got a good heart deep in the marian trench...HAHA. thanks for making this trip absolutely hilarious! RFL

Sarah- one for all, all for one! OPA for life. we came into this trip only knowing each other and i'm glad that we are able to maintain our friendship while forging new ones. i'm glad we were able to share this amazing experience together! deep within the marian trench, you are a great person. HAHA, just kidding. i had to throw the trench in there.

Stephanie- you are the smallest person i know. i admire how hard you work and how much you appreciate everything around you. lol you are a little ball of energy! keep up your spirit and rock that rock wall girl! i wish you the best with medical school applications!

Caitlin- you are such an amazing person. it took a little bit for you to come out of your shell, but once you did i could see your shining personality. i really enjoyed hearing your first impressions of everyone! haha some of the were really funny. i'm glad that you went out in hamburg till 4 am! party animal! i hope to see you back in CS and keep in touch. we will be having plenty of girls nights and you are required to be in attendance. don't let anything phase you and keep doing your thing!

Andrew- i'm glad i got to meet you this trip. you are full of life and opinions! keep your spirit and your fashion sense alive :) i enjoyed our talks and i like hearing your point of views. when i get back to CS i will definitely get you that glue and help you fix that stone thing. stay in touch bud!

Matt Bersi- matthew bersi. when i first met you, you had barely escaped death and all i could do was laugh. hahah. i still laugh when i think about it. you and i have spent the last 5 weeks laughing our asses of. i honestly don't know what we would have done without you! all of our laughs on the crazy trains, berlin bike ride, subways, class, wherever.... priceless. also your model pictures came out very well. i will never forget the train ride to prague. i can't believe we weren't friends before this trip....sorry about booty dancing on your face. RFL

Brittany- oooooooooooooooh (high pitched) i'm sad that we weren't friends before this trip. we had some gooooooood times through this trip. i'm glad we were roomies in all the different places! "wanna do stuff?"hahahah. i'm gonna miss seeing you all the time! raisin, raisin RAISIN RAISINNNNNN!!!! lol. man, if i could type out all of our inside jokes, i don't even think i could do it. there's just too much. thanks for making this trip badass. RFL

Roger (british accent)- Oh rog, where to even start. before the trip i had no idea what your personality was going to be like. just after a day of knowing you i knew we'd be good friends! you have such a good heart and you always want to protect us and make sure we're okay. that is what i love most about you. always helping me with my luggage, protecting us from creepers in prague, and even protecting us from those scary men in berlin! haha, although sometimes you make weird faces and when you first wake up you look creepy, i'm very glad i got to know you and i'm looking forward to our friendship! Saw I party soon! RFL

i'm really sad now.

love all of you very much,
