Finals & Fun, Day 2! [Day 87]
... arch until Chester came with the key to let us into the barn. As soon as we got in there, Johnny came in to tell us it was a false alarm (found out later something got burned). Then it was back to finish the test. Now I really really really have to pack; Huber is inspecting us first tomorrow, between 12:30 and 1, and I have to be all done by then. And of course tonight is the last American Night!

Finals & Fun, Day 1! [Day 86]
... We saw them this morning, and they are perfect :) It's also extremely beautiful out right now - snow on the ground, mist in the air, sun in the sky. The moats look quite frozen over, too, but I highly doubt they're any stronger than yesterday.

... for a medium mixed beer and some dancing to "Zwarte Pieten Stijl" before it was back to the secret room off of Sophie's. It was a late night: we basically camped out there doing work all night. It snowed a bit later on, which was nice.
