Chapter 11

The week went by without too many eventful situations occurring. Liz attended the mandatory lectures, spent her free time playing ball with the others, laying on the grass working on her tan or cramming for the exams with Katie and Felicia. The group had been to the local pub a few times and there had also been a couple of national nights. This was the event where several of the students got the chance to present their home country and culture, giving a presentation and serving some traditional food and drinks. It was always a successful evening with a lot of stimulating impressions at once when they typically went through four to five different countries per event.

Liz found her thoughts continuously drifting northward to Canada and Kris, but forced herself each time to let it go and focus on the present instead. The weekend was approaching fast and there was a large group of students planning to go hiking together in the mountains. Liz had agreed to join them since this was a unique opportunity to experience some of the breathtaking national parks the US had to offer. They had a last party scheduled for this evening before they would take off tomorrow morning in several rental cars going up the mountains after a quick ride to get out of urbanity. Tonight’s party would be a masquerade, a famous event for the summer school – known for all its crazy elaborate spacy costumes. Liz had pondered the entire week on what she could make out of the rather limited supplies they had access to. A bus had luckily been set up this afternoon to take the students to a local shopping mall where they could buy some more costume equipment.

Just after the last lecture Liz boarded the bus with Katie and Felicia, excitedly discussing various ideas for what they could go as tonight. Katie had early on figured out she wanted to go as the latest space telescope being built by NASA. She would need to construct the optical mirror and the solar panels, figuring she would just buy a ton of aluminum foil and use some cardboard material to manufacture them. Felicia, on the other hand, had some ideas about making an astronaut costume and would need a helmet she could cover with aluminum foil and some kind of one-piece outfit. Preferably she could find a pink suit since she wanted to be cute for the party. Liz was still struggling, having no clue what she wanted to be. She figured she would just wander around in the store and get inspired by the selection.

The mall was gigantic, in European scale at least, and it took them a few hours to gather all they needed. In the end Liz went for being an alien and purchased some green gloves and a hat, attaching to it a bouncy ribbon thing with two silver balls swinging at its top. She would wear sparkling tights with a green V-neck t-shirt, hoping people would understand sufficiently her attempt at coming from a different planet.
