arabic culture night.

So I have been M.I.A. for a long time ... I have been VERY busy, so I am finally getting a chance to get caught up.

Over a month ago, my friend Maria was participating in Arabic Culture Night, so some of the girls and I decided to go and support her. I was very unsure about what to expect about the whole thing because I don't really know much about Arabic culture. The whole experience turned out to be so much better than I could have ever imagined.

It was a night filled with dancing, singing, poetry, and acting.

The entire experience had a very surreal sense to it. It was such a relaxing, happy, and intriguing atmosphere.



We got a little bored while we were waiting ... (why do I looks so angry? haha)
Casey and Justine...

Claire and me...

And finally, we got the see Maria!!!

Maria did such an amazing job ... the little skit was about 15 minutes long and she had all of her lines perfectly memorized!

I was such a great experience to see one of my friends pursue her passions.

Maria came to Notre Dame as an architecture major, but after 2 years in the program decided to change her major ... she is now a political science and arabic major and absolutely loves it!

It was so fabulous to spend a night with the girls, to experience something completely different, and to hear Maria and her amazing Arabic skills!
