True Life: I Partied in my Residencia

First of all I must make it known that the students here don't just like to dress up, they love it. And when I say dress up I mean they go all out with their costumes. I wrote about Carnaval a while ago, but I feel like Carnaval has been going on for three weeks now! I am so done with costumes!

All the Americans in Undamuno

Anyway, there was a party in the basement of our dorm yesterday. Not just some people hanging out and drinking in a room, there was a giant dance party in the basement with a fully stocked bar. It was perfect: free, no need to worry about getting anywhere on time, and right downstairs!

 

Just an example of how far some people go for their costumes! A brush!

 

 Remember Javi, the chef for my cooking class? He was Minnie too...

Well none of my friends really felt like dressing up for another costume party, but when we went downstairs to dinner I was eating with Superman, a Dinosaur, the Hulk, and a bunch of grapes! Thankfully, I pulled together a last minute costume as Minnie Mouse with help of a cheap China store across the street, but that is the last costume I am putting on until Halloween!

It was a good night overall... and kind of fun to hang out with the people we eat our meals with everyday at least... I wouldn't mind doing it again, but let's nix the costumes for that one.
