celebrations

Friday night we had a Christmas dinner gala at the dorm! It was fun and very entertaining. Its kind of a big production here. All the guys had on suits and the girls put on their best dresses! Of course, we didnt want to be maleducado, so we dressed up too! The residence choir sang christmas songs before and then we went to the dinning hall to eat! A few weeks ago we had to sign up for tables. Amanda, Taylor, Astrid, Molly, Rachel and I decided to be a table. I was not aware that you were supposed to name your table (for the sake of place cards) so upon arriving in the dinning room, we discovered we had been given the name "Little Timy". We are not quite sure if it referred to A Christmas Carol or what but we all thought it was pretty funny. The food wasnt great but I wasnt expecting it to be haha. The company was what made it fun. The six of us each told what we are going to miss about each other and reminisced on all of our fun times. At the end of the dinner, they passed out goody bags and champagne. We proceeded to discover party hats, masks, blowers, streamers and a novel in spainsh! (yes, the book was a random surprise, I got "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" in spanish haha). We had a great time toasting and playing with our party favors!

Kimberly's birthday was saturday night so we baked a cake and went out on the town to celebrate! I was so happy i could spend her birthday with her in Spain!
