Fall Break

The greatly anticipated Fall Break is rapidly coming to an end. I feel like it has gone by so fast. Tomorrow is the last day of Fall Break and I feel like I have gotten nothing acomplished and already starting to feel the stress of upcoming assignments.

However, this weekend hasn't been completely boring. On Saturday, I attended a Mexican wedding. The director of the new SST program (which will be taking place here in Goshen) Anayeli Juarez had a beautiful wedding in Warsaw.

This made me think of an email I recieved not too long ago. It was about the differences between American and Mexican weddings. It talked about how Americans sent out invitations months in advance and asked for their guests to RSVP so that they know how much food they will need. However Mexicans usually invite people the day before by phone or when they see people at the store. There is no need to RSVP and if your invited, you can invite others without a problem. The list of differences was endless. It made me laugh so hard because it was SO true. At Ana's wedding, people just kept coming to the reception and tables kept being added to the dance floor and more food kept being brought in. There was a variety of food because guests would bring a big batch of some kind of food or another. It was a great wedding and we all had a great time dancing to the music, although none of us were extremely great at it. I was accompanied by my family and friends from the CITL office.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Fall Breaks and come back refreshed and ready to go!
