So, last Saturday we got a text from our LCF asking us to meet at my place for a meeting (did she not know we had a pig to lechon?). She came over and was like hey guys you need to be in charge of planning this party, here are the details, get it done, then got in a pedicab and went away.
We had to plan the farewell and thank you party for our host families in one week and studied for previous blogged language test, oh and lechon a pig and party for that and have those plans by Monday. So my cluster mate and I quickly threw together a plan and said we are going to have to be those people that make business addresses at costume parties. We did it super fast, and it was totally delegating jobs and yelling over a karaoke machine and sounding so very bossy (not my favorite way to sound). Then had to email the business meetings to everyone the next day. Take the information gathered and make invitations and programs for the party. Oh and did I mention we had our interview this week also?
Part of the tribute was musical numbers. We worked on some ditties and some how managed to find time to practice more than once, and oh ya prepare for that interview.
Then we had our interview and life got better from there. Now all we had to do was buy things for the party, make some final musical adjustments, figure out what our group activity is going to be, and make sure every thing else is all set. And that is what we did.
Today it all fell together. The emcees were amazing! The speakers were sincere! The games were so fun! The food was tasty! The music was loud enough!
We laughed, we took pictures, we sweated, and now we are leaving. That is sad, but also it is a good thing.
