Day 11 was a very relaxed day. We started off the day by going to the University at 10 am to work on our group projects, and then broke for lunch around noon. Working on our projects today was very frustrating, because we presented tonight at 5 pm, so everyone was stressed out and very snippy with each other. The Germans kept reverting back to speaking German, which was very frustrating for the Americans- they were talking about our project, but we could not understand them at all. And since they were talking in German, they developed a habit of figuring everything out in German, and then switching to English to tell us what to do, so it felt like we were all employees rather than groupmates. We eventually figured everything out, but it was very annoying for a while.
After lunch, we went to a little coffee shop on campus to wrap everything up, before going home to change.

Our presentation ended up going very well I thought. During the presentation, I went to change the slide and somehow shut off the entire PowerPoint and computer monitor, which was very embarrassing but I guess everyone else thought it was funny so it wasn't that bad. I had to speak without the PowerPoint for a few minutes, but overall everything else went very smoothly.
After the presentation, we went to Peaches, where we all relaxed and talked about the next two days of our trip.
