As most of the students at the Sommeruni are only staying for four weeks, we had a gala last night where the music, film, and journalism students presented the things that they had been working on in the course of the quarter. There were four short films, three journalism pieces, and 18 (yes, 18) musical pieces. The gala lasted for over four hours - which was a bit on the long side, but it was impressive that students who hadn't known each other at all a month ago were able to pull something together in that amount of time.
It was a bit strange for everyone to be saying goodbye, though, because I'm still here for three more weeks. I will meet new people, have new experiences, and not say goodbye to Germany quite yet. But 230 out of 260 students are leaving, so it made perfect sense to have a big "to-do" for them.
All the people who participated were given a rose (thus the picture) and we walked home late at night in the (unsurprising) pouring rain, laughing the whole way.
