Another one

We had another birthday today: Andrew's! The tradition of putting your face in the cake came up again, and he was pretty hesitant to do it, just like Muhsinah! But, as always, I captured the moment (almost). Here it is:



I've been going crazy over the last couple of days trying to finish my Literature project! It's been very stressful because we decided to make a website along with some short videos from the interviews we did. Luckily, it's over! Here's the final product: El Baile de la Cultura Mexicana. I designed the website and put the videos together. I know it's in Spanish, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to understand it all. Basically, it's a project about the different kinds of traditional Latin/Mexican dances and their importance to the culture, along with a comparison between Mexicans and Americans in relation to dance. It was fun to do and fun to learn about.

One more thing...everyone has been getting sick!!! We don't know if it's a sickness or if it's something that has to do with the food. I'm just getting nervous...

The first birthday

My friend Muhsinah celebrated her birthday yesterday! It was a pretty fun night, and everyone enjoyed themselves. The first comical event, however, took place in the morning. Our program director brings cake to school so we can all celebrate together (by the way, it is AMAZING cake with strawberries in the middle). Well, Mexicans have a tradition that you have to stick your face in the cake if it's your birthday! We were all surprised at it, but it turned out to be a perfect picture moment:



It was pretty funny. But back to that night, we celebrated her birthday at Zilch first, and then we moved on to Boga. One of our friends works at Boga and was able to give Muhsinah a special celebration, with champagne and all. It was nice, and I had a good time.
