Say What Karaoke?


Tonight was such fun and great night! We all came together in the common room for Karaoke night! At first people were being shy about doing karaoke, but before too long everyone broke out of their shells and were singing songs! This was such a great activity, and it was really great to be able to see the bonds that had formed over the last two weeks! The RA's Johnny and Alex were the first to really dive into the karaoke~~ But everyone was all for watching as you can see!



After a little pestering from us, We were able to get Dean Hammoud, Dr. Moore, and Dr. Miraflor to help Anna and I sing "Say A Little Prayer" it was so much fun, and great to get to share a karaoke song with the Faculty! One of my favorite moments yet! People started to get brave and at one point we had a HUGE group singing Poker Face by Lady GaGa with Dr. Ryan! He was such a great sport up there singing along with all of us. Dr. Ryan also sang another song
with these great girls, and Look, there is Kelly
right next to him! Some other fun things of the night were Tony Arrington and Charles Nguyen singing a duet to a Katy Perry song! They really hammed it up, and enjoyed themselves!

Big Thanks to the Faculty for coming up with such a fun activity for us to all enjoy together, and another Big Thanks to our amazing RA's for the two weeks here for pulling it off and having fun right along side us!!

Dinner with Dr. Ryan

Last night a group of students went to eat Thai food with Mr. C and we were pleasently surprised when we were joined by Dr. Miraflor and Dr. Ryan. We all enjoyed sitting and talking about our experiences here in Englad and listening to their stories. It is really great to get to spend time like that with the president of our school and our professors because it helps us realize how much they care about us and how hard they worked to make this experience amazing for each and every one of us. It has truly been a once in a lifetime experience that I am very honored to have been a part of.

Group 8




Today was our last day of class and also our day to present. We could all feel the nerves rising within our bodies, but we prevailed! Overall the presentation went well, and now the burden is no longer on our shoulders. I really enjoyed meeting the other ladies in our group, and they were easy to work with. Everyone was responsible and contributed a good amount of time toward the project. I hope to keep touch and remain friends after this trip. It's sad that the trip is almost over, but hopefully this won't be the last time we see each other.
