For my last CP blog I chose to write about the international dinner. I sat with Kari, Brian, Stan, Sydney, Claire, Jackson, and some CIES students. Some people switched around at our table and one of my tutoring partners Mg ended up sitting with us along with another student who attended my class earlier that day; his name escapes me currently. I taught my class on Thanksgiving so when I noticed that they had pumpkin pie on the dessert table I had to show them. It was interesting that I had just taught them about that dessert and they had it available for them to try. Soufiane sat with us as well, he is one of Stan’s tutoring partners. Soufiane is from Paris so we had a lot to talk about in regards to soccer. We agreed on many things about the sport and his favorite team Real Madrid. Sydney even got to practice her French a little. After we watched the performances we all talked about many different things at the table from Ramadan to music. I ate a lot of different types of food, I tried to get a little bit of everything but that was impossible. Mg was eating a lot because it was his first meal since the sun went down. We enjoyed our dinners and the presentations of the awards before all taking pictures and leaving. I learned a lot in this class, not only about teaching English, but also about other cultures and people of the world.
