Farewell Deggendorf

February 14, 2009

From Grad Dinner and Party

This is the time for lasts- one last pizza in Extra, one last time on campus, one last party at the HQ, one last Bayern game at First Floor, one last get together as an IM family. Saying goodbye to these people and this place is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

From Grad Dinner and Party

The grad dinner was reminiscent of the Last Supper- all of us sitting in a row of tables for one final dinner as a tight-knit family. As the night progressed, we made our way to the after-party at Relax and partied late into the night. At the end of an amazing night though, the goodbyes began.

The goodbyes will continue over the next three days as I say my final farewell to a city and a period of my life that surely can never be surpassed. These seven semesters will live in my heart forever. And when we all meet again throughout our lives, the moments we have shared together will provide happiness and a sense of comfort in that amazing time we all spent in the little town at the edge of the Bavarian forest.

From Grad Dinner and Party

I love you guys so much!

From Deggendorf- Final Year

The biggest lecture room on campus has also played host to our intimidating final speeches in the first semester, various guest presentations and lots of exams over the past seven semesters. I always seem to find myself in the front row for those exams. But this time was different. Not just that I was near the back, but also because I was sitting there for my last exam at the FH. I finished my last exam with 30 minutes left in the exam time to sit and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment. When time was finally called, the atmosphere in the room was light- as if we all felt the same relief in the lifting stress. The smiles my friends and I had as we handed in that exam were ones of pure joy.
