Here at Wittlingen, life has been pretty hectic and full of activities. A couple weeks ago all of the dorm students went ice skating. The last time I went I was a little girl and went to a creek with my Aunt and cousins. We all had sooo much fun and it was a beautiful night out! Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving for about 40 people. It was a fun night night ending with the tradition of watching 'White Christmas.' My personal favorite!!
Last Friday we had Open House. We opened our house to our German neighbors and all of the BFA community (some 300 people). Our theme was 'celebrities.' We had Miley Cyrus here, Sandra Bullock, Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Body Guards, Paparazzi, Reese Witherspoon, and those were just the girls at Witt! It was a full night of fun; with a fashion shoot in the basement, music videos, and the community touring all of the nooks and crannies of our home. Then on Sunday night for dorm fellowship we decorated the house for Christmas!! It makes it so much more cozy and gives the girls a boost of energy as they finish up the semester.
This coming weekend is Christmas Banquet. And let me tell you it's a big deal here. It's kind of like our homecoming back home, well no football game and no court. But the guys ask the girls in really extravagant ways. One guy came to our dorm a couple weeks ago to ask one of our girls and sang Taylor Swift's 'You belong with me'.....only 'Will you go to banquet with me.' Followed with the presenting of roses. These boys know how to treat these girls well! Friday we are having a spa night of painting nails and facials while Saturday will be filled with doing hair and make-up. Im excited to help them all get ready. The theme is a masquerade ball, so they all get to wear fun masks too!
