August 3- Going to Interlaken, Switzerland


This past week has been pretty stressful.  We had both our hydrology and wastewater system design midterms this week.  I studied a lot, and Dr. Musnter’s test was easy and I did really well.  We haven’t gotten our grades back from Dr. Engler yet, but I feel pretty good about it too.  We had 4 assignments due Thursday morning, so Walter, Jonathon, and I literally worked on homework from 3pm-12:30 am Wednesday.   
Yesterday (Thursday) we went on an awesome field trip.  We first visited a surface water treatment facility.  Our guide was great because he explained all the treatment processes really well.  In the afternoon, we went to Delta Works in the Netherlands.  In the 1970’s, the Netherlands built 65 levies along the shoreline of the North Sea to protect against flooding.  Now they have a large tourist exhibition there.  We had beautiful weather and a really fun day walking around the area along the ocean.  Walter made us breakfast burritos for dinner, then a big group of us (18/22 people) went out to the Oude Market for drinks last night.  
I am now writing on the train to Interlaken, Switzerland.  We left Leuven this morning on a train at 6:25.  We are supposed to get to Interlaken around 3:00 this afternoon.  Me, Cherish, Rob, Ashley, Sean, and Andrew are all on this trip.
