International Day

Yesterday was International Day at each one of the individual schools, which is basically a huge event where students represent their country. This was done mainly by food from their country, but it was also a means for students intersted in studying there to talk to someone from that country. I should not have eaten anything this day before I got there, because food was everywhere! My favorite was Switzerland, where they had cheese fondue on bread, and it was spectacular.

We represented the USA and UCF by cooking Mac'n'Cheese, playing Beer Pong, and having a powerpoint on my laptop. We couldn't have alcohol, so we used Coca-Cola instead (still American! lol). We had limited space, so we had everyone take 2 steps back and take a shot, and if they made it, then they "won" coke. One guy (from Germany), made a shot from accross the room, which was impressive. Coke Pong was perfect because it was a good way to pass the 3 hours that we were supposed to stand there, and a fun way to interact with everyone....and not be like "hi, where are you from? what have you heard about America?"

Now I'm really busy with school, and need to focus on that.....until the weekend. Also plan the Kiruna Trip.
