Finishing Up Spring Semester 2k16

These past couple weeks probably have been the busiest throughout the whole semester. There was a lot to organize in terms of the summer semester, internships, and school in general. However, we had a great weekend trip to Chicago with the GLC where we presented our policy memos. My group worked on cyber security issues, and the others worked on various transatlantic security topics. The presentations were hold in the Goethe Institute in front of Mr. Quelle who works for the German Consulate in Chicago. Afterwards he invited us to come to the German Consulate for a small tour. I spent the rest of the weekend adventuring the city of Chicago. I did a lot of shopping and sightseeing. I went to the Bean by the Millenium Park, the Navy Pier, and I saw pretty much all of downtown Chicago.
Last week was super busy with exams and final papers due. I'm happy that I could finish everything in time. On Friday we had our GLC graduation ceremony which was a nice opportunity to say our "thank yous" and "goodbyes" to everyone. I got to know so many nice people, I made friends, and learned so much about life off and on campus. I really hope I will meet some these awesome people again at some point. I am sure I will though.
Right now I am in Canton, OH. I am staying here with one of my friends from the GLC until next week. Then I will move to Omaha for the summer. I will be interning with Banister Leadership Academy, a non-profit organization that focuses on the work with youth and children. I am very excited to start my internship and enjoy a couple months of summer in Nebraska.
