had family dinner. On the way to studio we decided we wanted to mix it up a little and not do the usual pasta, sauce, and bread. Instead we picked tacos. Everyone started getting so excited about it that we planned a whole Mexican fiesta. Everyone gave Nikul all their Spanish/Mexican music so he could make a playlist. We wanted to get sombreros but didn't know where to get them, so I spent half of studio making a GIANT sombrero. I used random model-making supplies left over from last semester and it turned out pretty awesome. Dinner included guacamole, tortilla chips, and tacos with ground beef, chicken, and all the usual fillings. It was really good. Of course Nikul's playlist was playing the whole time and any time the macarena came on (he put in something like six different versions), everyone had to get up and do the macarena. This only worked cuz we were down to 18 people instead of the usual 28 (some people went to the soccer game and some people went to the opera so they were all missing). Emily and Liz took a cooking class a couple weeks ago, and everyone wanted them to share one of the dishes they learned, so they made panna cotta for dessert. It was sooo good. After our Mexican fiesta, we went out to the club. We wanted to go to this Mexican sounding one but it was closed, so we had to go somewhere else.
