So, we just got back from Cirque du Soleil! As a sort of last hurrah, we were given the opportunity to have a discounted rate for the tickets in order to go see the "Totem" show here in Montréal, which premiered for the first time on April 22nd.
Having spent much of the semester in the ART 220 class (Cultural Immersion/Fine Arts), I was really excited to have one last chance to get out before the school year ended. The show was really fantastic! Beautifully orchestrated, wonderful colors, and awesome acrobatics and stunts. Unfortunately, no pictures allowed, especially since it had a lot of awesome lighting that would be ruined by a flash. But! Stefi managed to grab a couple of pictures for us and let me use them here!
Those of us who went also had to say goodbye to Stefi. She won't be in the office, or rather, we won't be around the Academic Center anymore because exams are officially over. A lot of us are moving out within the next couple of days. I can't begin to say how awesome and helpful Stefi and Wesnide and Genevieve have been to us. They're like the best team ever up here and always looking out for us and helping us on our way.
So the end of this post is just a huge thank you to them and everyone who made coming up here possible! It was amazing! Thank you so much!
Look out for another post tomorrow for the final student hurrah -- a nice, dressed-up lunch where we can actually take some pictures.
