Today is the last day of classes. This week was packed with project submissions, presentations, quizzes and final preparations for finals. I knew this week was going to be busy, so I allowed myself to use last Saturday to do some stress relieving.

Every person has different ways to relax. I love socials and hanging around with friends is something that relaxes me most. So, as you might guessed, last Saturday, I spent with a group of very dear people to me, fellow members of Boston Rotaract Club. We organized a pot-luck party for the upcoming holiday season. There were around 25 of us, and you can imagine how much food was on the table.

Our wonderful host, Matylda, arranged everything in the house of her host family. Besides food, drinks, and music, Matylda added a Christmas flavor into the entire night. Like in the movies, she brought a cute old man, a pianist who entertained us with Christmas carols. Furthermore, he gave us the lyrics and asked us to join him in singing these short and merry songs.

I never thought it could be so much fun to do something like that. Especially, when I realized how many talents people in our group have. We had two solo performances, as well as several uncovered pianists among as that shared their hidden skills with us.

It was just great.

After the musical entertainment, we helped Matylda decorate the biggest Christmas tree, I've ever seen. It was at least 12 feet high and looked great. It looked even better after we were done with it.

The evening was completed with a chit-chat next to a fire place until early in the morning. I came back home at 6am, relaxed, happy and with another beautiful experience. I was ready to jump to work and prepare for finals. Next week will be busy and stressful, so wish me luck, and I'll let you know how it was.

P.S. News about the car. I cancelled my rent-a-car reservation. A friend of mine, here at Wentworth, got a co-op at the same place I did, and he has a car. Therefore, I will go to work with him. He will drive and I will chip-in for gas. I think it is a win-win situation.
