Celebration dinner

It's finally over. We had our last workshop today. Esref and Edwin did a good presentation. We won't need to work together anymore. That was kinda sad since I love the team now. It's such an irony as I had been very frustrated with them in the beginning.

For the past two weeks, all we did in workshop was to joke and chat. I am pretty sure Nooman is getting frustrated with our don't-care-attitude. Other teams have been commenting how noisy our room is with constant yelling (that's mainly Edwin, Esref and sometimes Rakesh), laughter (Nisreen and Andre) and other kind of loud noises (e.g. when we knocked on the wall to tell the other side to keep quiet as we are trying to work....yea right).

We came to a point where we were treating the whole exercise as a fun project. With Esref and Edwin as presenters, we came out with ideas to play the theme song of Pinky and the brain but in the end, chickened out as the other counselors seemed pretty stern. Esref suggested buying the Yes, We Can t-shirt and wore on it on the day of the presentation. Unfortunately Edwin thought it was a waste of money. I wanted to replace our team name to woosh woosh but Edwin was against it too. That's how much crazy stuffs we had been planning to do.

As a celebration of the finale, we went out to dinner together as a group with Nooman. It was at a nice Peruvian restaurant at I Street. We had a lot of fun especially when Levan started educating us on the toasting tradition of Georgian. How many times can a person toast anyway? Plenty according to Georgian. The guys were having Sangria. I have sworn off Sangria after the NYC incident.
