Hey everybody. So to keep the formal theme of the last post going, W and L just had "Fancy Dress" or FD for short. The school budgets $100,000 for this event alone (which is pretty absurd) so as you can imagine the entire community is involved and having a good time. It basically allows us to have four more proms in college, which I have no problem with. This year's theme was Arabian Nights, but for PC reasons the name was changed to "A Night of Wonders". Our chef went all out preparing food for us this weekend. He treated us to an array of Arabic food on Saturday before the formal, and the night before cooked for our traditional "Crawfish Boil" event (this serves as a kind of ice-breaker for the guys and their dates). All in all it was a very fun event.

In other news I've been accepted to an internship program the local high school for next year. I'll be in charge of coordinating volunteers from W and L to work at the high school as well as assisting teachers there at the tutoring program after school. I've also decided to take a course in Arabic over the summer at NYU to strengthen my major and knowledge of the Middle East.

Hope all is well with you guys,
