Leaving Marburg

The rest of my week has been spent hanging out with friends, packing, and cleaning.  On Tuesday, after class, I hung out with Bizz.  We watched Mama Mia and ate some tasty chocolate. 

On Wednesday, it was really diffcult to get up for 8 am tutorial.  We did a debate that day, and I think my side was victorious!  Of course, I'm not going to put up anything other than winning.  I went to Lecker Eck one last time, but I got doner-box (doner meat, french fries, and garlic sauce--very nutritious) instead of currywurst, which I had eaten the night before.  For my afternoon tutorial, we met at the Marktplatz and drank gluhwein instead of having a real class session.  That evening, I went to another dorm for a birthday party, but the bus only ran part of the way and then stopped because of snow.  I find it hard to believe that it couldn't get through, considering that a snowplow was right in front of us.  Still, we had to walk about 20 minutes to get there.  It was nice seeing everyone again.  With a few exceptions, no one acted too sad, which was good.  Bizz and I walked back to the main part of town, which took an hour.  The bus still wasn't running and we didn't want to spend the night. 

Yesterday I cleaned and packed before exploring the Christmas Market one more time.  I bought myself another Christmas present--it's a calendar of art of Marburg!  I think artists are all local, and I'd like to keep the pictures because they're very beautiful.  That afternoon, Bizz and I hung out with Maria (Taiwan) and some Korean girls.  There was another party last night, and I wanted to go, but I was afraid of getting snowed in again.  As it was, I went back to my dorm and cleaned. 

This morning, I got checked out with no problems.  I even got all of my housing deposit back, which was good.  I made it to Frankfurt around 10:45 am, and I am now at the hostel waiting for Mom and Dad to get here!  I checked online and saw their flight is on time, so they should be here soon!
