CINCO DE MAYO

Saturday was Cinco De Mayo which were celebrated with mustaches, tequila and maracas. It was also the last weekend before finals week and everybody needed some fun before spending the rest of the week at the library. Next weekend is the last weekend before people start going home – it’s going to be hard to say goodbye to everyone. 

Culture Shock

Last weekend was filled with music, carnival rides, fried Oreos and hangovers. I didn’t know any of the bands but it was just fun to see a new side of campus. Apparently the weather is always really bad when it is Culture Shock and it was not like it was amazing weather this weekend but at least it didn’t rain. After the weekend it was back to reality and the last week of school before finals week.    

Zombie prom

Friday was Zombie prom. You dress up as a zombie, pour fake blood on yourself and drink a lot of beer. It was so much fun, the best part of the night though was almost getting dressed. 

Friends

One of the best things being on exchange is meeting a lot great people. Even though I’ve only been here for a little more than 2 months I feel so comfortable around these people. And I am sure that I will remember all of them for the rest of my life. Yesterday the first one in the group left for a job and I can’t even imagine how hard it will be when school ends and I have to say goodbye to the rest of them! <3   

Milk and cookies

We been eating cookie dough a couple of times while I’ve been here and it’s a strange thing. But a few weeks ago we decided to try and make some real cookies out of the dough instead. Milk and cookies are an awesome late-night snack.  

Slim Jim

Last week when I went shopping with some friends I saw the Slim Jims at the check out and I have always thought of beef jerky as something American so I had to try it. I tasted it and it was a little strange. It was kind of like earing flavored plastic! Non of the others seemed to like it either so maybe it isn’t an American thing?! I don’t know.. I don’t think I’m going to buy it again though.

Creative corner

Every Sunday evening we have a creative corner in our house. It is a nice way to just relax, get ready for a new week and talk to the other girls! I’m not an artist but the others inspire me and you never get to old for sand art ;)

   

New Haven

Last weekend I went to New Haven to hear some music. It was so nice to get away from campus for a while. We went to one of the others house where there were real food with real vegetables and a real family. The music was from New Orleans and it was AMAZING!!
