Our recently elected student government planned their first event last Thursday - a masquerade ball. adding to the excitement was the fact that we only got word of this party on monday or tuesday, meaning everyone was scrambling last minute to find costumes...also because most of the students aren't used to having such events at school, myself and a few other teachers made it our job to be as EXCITED as possible, hyping it up.
my roommate angela had been doing a project with her class, learning a fairytale called "the paperbag princess", rewriting their own story, illustrating a book and performing it for other classes. it worked PERFECTLY because we then dressed up as the paperbag princess (Angela) and I was the dragon that takes her prince (who turns out to be a huge bum) on their wedding day. it was a huge hit (the party itself, and our costumes), which couldn't have been a better kickoff event for the student government.
Angela and some of our students (pretty impressive for last minute costumes, eh?...there were quite a lot of princesses, but what can you expect from a culture of gorgeous saris?)
