So I’m happy ^^.
I promised Marilyn that I’d go to the event that she was organizing with Nancy. It was the “Cena a las Seis” (Dinner at Six) family night (for family weekend) put together by LUChA and APR :). It was kind of funny being an Asian there, but it was all good. Marilyn definitely went out of her way to make me feel welcome ^^. I helped roll up the utensils into napkin bouquets.
The food was really good (gah, I love Mexican and Puerto Rican food — they’re really different from each other, but I definitely appreciate both), and I got to meet a couple interesting people. La la, and the Mariachi band played such cute songs. I think it’s really amazing how many catchy songs can come out of what is essentially one chord progression (I V7 V7 I).
Then, I had to figure out how to get into the GBIS (MIT a cappella concert). It’s a very crowded event (all of Kresge is filled), and it requires free tickets that I did not have. But I told Tiffany and Will that I’d go, and they’re such nice people .. . So, I got there and asked the usher if I could be let in at some point later (if someone left, basically), and he said there were actually still 35 open seats! I was so happy :). I thanked him profusely and found one of the last open seats. Yay!
The a cappella groups were amazing as usual. It seems that I know more and more of the people in these groups. I’ll probably be attending more of their concerts than usual this term. It’s really too bad that one of the mics was completely out of sync with the rest, and that some air unit in the back really started to act up. Nevertheless, the energy of the groups made up for these technical difficulties.
