Most of today was spent planning the Multicultural evening
that was going happen the next day. After meeting up again with S at lunchtime,
we spent the afternoon thinking of ideas we could use in our presentation to
showcase British culture. Because everyone has heard of the UK, we decided we
could just focus on British culture, since we didn’t have to explain where the
country was or what languages were spoken there as some of the smaller
countries would have to.
In the end, we decided that Sheffield!Nic would do the
introduction and conclusion, I would talk about British food, S would talk
about the Royal Family, Jones about British monuments and Mike and Het (the
other British girl on Summer School who kept herself to herself, she and
Sheffield!Nic had a past) would do weird sports. We also decided to hand out
strawberries and cream and cups of tea during the presentation. We spilt up for
a while to work on what we were going to say, then met up again to grab dinner
from the supermarket, Albert. I love the fact it’s called Albert. It sounds
like a butler! Upon discovering that there was indeed a microwave in the kitchenette
at the end of my corridor, I grabbed a microwave meal.
When I tipped the meal on to a plate about 15 minutes later,
it say it looked unappetising was an understatement. It looked like an exact
square of pink mush (it was meant to be vegetable risotto). However, once it
had heated up, it looked a bit better and I ate it because I was hungry. It
tasted okay, but I wouldn’t recommend the Albert branded vegetable risotto to
everyone. There are probably things that taste nicer in the same aisle. After
dinner, we finished planning the presentation, decided to add some videos of
the weird sports Mike and Het were talking about, as after a picture describes
a thousand words. It would also make the sports we were talking about, polo, cricket,
hurling, curling, conkers, Gaelic football and cheese rolling easier for Het
and Mike to explain. I mean how do you describe cheese rolling? No one will
believe that people seriously race down a hill in Gloucestershire after a
cheese until you show them a video doing it. Whilst watching in the video of
these crazy people, I felt so proud to be from Gloucestershire!
