I attended the Mi Familia end of the year Gala last Saturday night. The Hispanic organizations from NC State, Chapel-Hill, and Duke all get together for a night of awards, dinner, and dancing. If was an enjoyable night and fun to get all dressed up.
I went with several of the Destino Girls..... (pictured below)
Also last Saturday in the afternoon we had our Triad Palooza...which is like an end-of-the-year cookout for my building. We had tacos, pizza, subs, games, and live music.
Yesterday we had our "Destino Despedida", or our Destino end-of-the-year/going away party. We spent the hot (90 degree plus weather) afternoon at the pool in Silvia and Manuel's apartments. We swam, played games, threw frisbee, grilled hotdogs, sat in the hot-tub (later that night), roasted marshmellows, and had a great time. We had a total of about 32 people...a Destino record!!! We also said goodbye to Rolando, our foreign exchange student from Honduras. He returned to Honduras on Sunday where he hopes to start a Destino on his university's campus. He is already in contact with a Campus Crusade staff worker who is working in Honduras.
This week I have an exam Wednesday and a project due on Friday. I also will be busy with check-out and my other RA duties. Well, I'm off to study and work on a project!
I have finished ALL of my classes but one, YAY! I took my history exam yesterday and to study I made a really large color coded time line of Latin American history...I thought it was impressive anyway. :)
