It has been an absurdly long amount of time since my last post.. I guess I just haven't had the ambition to write anything on here. Also school is out, so there's not a lot going on.
I'M STILL ALIVE EVERYONE. DON'T PANIC.
Wow, I don't even have photos to post. This is sadness.
In December I went to a few colaciones. The colacion in Paraguay could be compared to an American prom. The main difference is that the graduates receive invitations to give to their families and anybody they want. Also, there is food, soda, and alcohol provided for guests. They usually begin at around 11 or 12 (supposed to start at 9, but that's Paraguayan time). To begin, all of the graduates do a 'grand march' of sorts. It's so beautiful, the decorations and the outfits. It is typical for the girls graduating to wear white dresses. After that, each graduate is introduced one by one with their parents which is really sweet. Finally, the music and the 'party' aspect starts. In my first colacion I didn't get home until 6:30 a.m., which is very normal!! In all, I went to four with my friends (exchangers and non exchangers). I wish the colaciones lasted during the whole year, they're a blast!
I wish I had pictures :'(
