My time here comes to an end ... The last four weeks have begun. Amazing how quickly this happens ...
In recent weeks a tremendous amount going on and the fact that one has the feeling that the time channel through your fingers, you can experience all the events somehow more intense than they are anyway. Well: The past few weeks were very intense celebration. Starting with the World Cup:
Since we have no TV in our flat, we need it or not, always go to our favorite bars here in Flores, to watch the games. One morning I was so clock at 8:30 with my roommate to see Simon in 'Ner pizzeria to the Argentina game against South Korea. Has been to watch crazy how the whole place every even the smallest of the Argentine goal-scoring opportunity was on his feet ... and when a goal fell, we saw how the people stood on chairs and tables, the men were strangers joyfully in the arms and wept for joy - a spectacle! Well, then at the end Argentina won 4-1. Another quick example of the Argentine soccer euphoria: after the Argentine had won the first qualifying round match 1-0 against Nigeria, there was the next day at the "La Nacion" (Argentina's largest daily newspaper, about comparable to the FAZ or the time) a 18 (!)-page sports section in the 14 pages on the outstanding play, the great football god Maradonna and a quote of the absolute world class player Messi has been reported. When it comes to football, the Argentines' s really a shot! Since the already great national pride, yet at times quite different dimensions ... We are curious how the two games look tomorrow ... Should Germany take on Argentina in the quarterfinals really, then "God's grace to us!" 
Furthermore, we celebrated the birthday last Saturday by Simon, which at the same time was a little bit the last big party we have thrown as WG in our home. Loaded was a colorful crowd of volunteers, colleagues from the projects, neighbors and other friends, it squeezed into hndert people felt perhaps in our 70m ² apartment. 
It was a memorable evening with lots of mixed people, mixed music, chili con carne and lots of alcohol! When I woke up the next morning, I really thought I was in the wrong movie! I have seen our house has never been so dirty, the floor sticky with dirt on our living room floor swam a huge puddle of beer, it smelled like in 'nerve bar and in our bathroom is the cistern broken, so that all under water stood. To top it all rang at that moment (at 11 clock in the morning!), But also our older, a little stuffy neighbor from above and asked me that we should not hesitate to wipe the hall, which would now be very dirty indeed. In addition, she was very tired because they had just come from the funeral of her mother the night before and yes because of the loud music does not really been able to sleep ... I was at that moment just touched so embarrassing and I did it for the poor woman soooo terribly sorry that I am still on a thousand-half-sleepy, stammered English with her apologized and promised to clean the hall. Fortunately we had some overnight guests, which we then despite violent hangover clean while cleaning up the apartment and helped. Insegsamt we used an entire 5-liter canister of chlorine-containing cleaning products to the ground (and the hall!) To wipe ... Strong evening (and even stronger tomorrow) was that! went a day later we will all meet at the final seminar for the IERP Baradero. There then came the first time since the beginning of each seminar all 41 volunteers. It was very good to see everyone and see how others have developed over the year.
Overall, we spent five great, intense days together, which were influenced by watching football talk, exchange experiences, reflection and Preparation for the first steps in Germany. 
And although, of course, so already makes many worry about the departure and return, it was still well within the framework of the seminar paper to be clear about what to expect. Overall, I have the feeling of having the seminar my thoughts and feelings sorted something about it. Particularly in terms of friendships, experiences and views that I have won in the year and I will take with them to Germany. On the last evening was then (again) time to party. Farewell gifts were presented, a bit of improv theater plays, dance and mulled wine drunk in moderation. The next Tomorrow then all moved back to the last stage in their respective projects to the last weeks again to take full advantage. There photos of the festivities's whole course again in the new album to see.
un abrazo
your Merle
