Last Day of A2 at the VHS – meet my class

Posted in Uncategorized by kenny5277 on May 6, 2008

The last day of class (now a couple of Fridays ago) was a social day, a big international feast. Many people brought food, drink, and desserts specific to their culture. I thought long and hard about what I could possibly bring: I couldn’t really make hamburgers for 20 for the obvious reasons of money and time and, well, plenty of other logistical details. I even checked wikipedia for American cuisine. I thought about making fudge (which turns out to be American), but by the time I realized this the stores were closed and I had no time.

(incidentally, just a quick note on Thursday: After my first meeting with the new class I met with Natali and went to Phelipe’s (Columbia) from the old class, who was having a small lunch party. Sylvie (It) was there as well as Pascal (Fr.) and his partner. Felipe cooked a really yummy pasta dish and we sipped wine well into the evening. I mention this because, well, I’m trying to alleviate some guilt at not having brought in anything to Friday’s feast, and truth is, I just didn’t have the time after Felipe’s. It was really OK though. We had all explicitly acknowledged in class that bringing in something was completely contingent on everyone’s own situation, time, money, resources, etc. and no one was obligated to or expected to do anything.)
Anyway, Kaveem took some video with his cellphone of the event, which I’ve spent nearly the last 4 hours trying to figure out how to post online to share with my faithful readers. (Basically you can’t upload video to the blog with a free account, nor can you upoad it to flickr and embed it with a free account, and I really didn’t want to pay anything, considering I have my own webpage though it has nothing on it yet). So after much sweat and tears I believe I have successfully uploaded it to my webpage and hopefully I can link to it.

Meet my Class

(hopefully that works). If not, here’s some pics:
