SORRRYYYYYY & International Dinner!

1. So, I completely missed blogging last week...and didn't even realize until Thursday! That just explains how hectic last week was :(

I'm so sorry for missing my blogging time! This week, I'm writing my blog in the morning so that there is no possible chance for me to be too busy and not have time to blog!

2. I'm still working on that poem that I promised...GET EXCITED :D

3. Last week on Friday, my school hosted the "International Dinner". This is an event that has been going on since 1990, and basically it represents all of the International students at my school. Although I'm only 6 hours away...I'm still considered International :p There are some students at my school who are from California, Colorado, Oklahoma, etc. and they are soooo much further away from school than I am, and I'm still considered International hahah.

There are students from over 20 countries attending my school: Canada (obviously the coolest :p), Argentina, Bolivia, Nicuragua, Australia, England, South Africa, Puerto Rico, Wales, China, Italy, Germany, Mongolia, Sweden, etc. (That's all that I can think of right now!)

Anyways, so for the International Dinner, there is a ton of International food, entertainment, and a fashion show. Every student is required to make a dish from their home country. There are three Canadians at my school this year so we all decided to make poutine. Let's just say, cooking in quantity to serve 250 people is VERY difficult...our poutine was good, but not as good as it could've been!

As for the entertainment, there were salsa dancers, violinists, and pianists. The performances were amazing!

And for the fashion show, everyone is supposed to wear something that represents their home country. I ended up getting my mom to mail me a hockey jersey to wear :P This was a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jersey and was wayyyyy tooooo big for me. I was literally like a dress haha. Nonetheless, it was so interesting to see what everyone had to wear. The traditional dress in Bolivia was soo pretty. Sometimes I wish I grew up in a different time period or in a different country just because their cultures seem so different? But I'm sure if I did that, then I would want to be Canadian. Grass is always greener on the other side? Haha the nice thing with Canada is that we're so diverse as it is, so we represent so many cultures :)

Oh ps. on Friday, it was 11/11/11...I really hope everyone made an epic wish, because I know that I sure did! hahah :)
