happy birthday, merry christmas.


friday night, we had a big tango pango work party hosted by the four of us teachers. we introduced korean to a progressive dinner (we did appetizers at mary's, main course at my place, and dessert and hannah and raquel's) and to mexican food. i made fajitas and they were all very much impressed.


i was also given the "employee of the month" award by my fellow teachers. before you all start thinking i'm the greatest little teacher there ever was, i feel the need to explain that it was a joke. i also got a stocking full of presents to open on christmas. as if i'm waiting till then.





it was our last weekend before everyone takes off for the holidays. so, needless to say, there was many a party taking place in the city saturday night. conveniently, both parties i was suppose to be at ended up at my favorite bar, bricxx (i may have had a hand in the planning...) and it was a really fantastic night. party #1: hannah's birthday. 20 people. started at mad garlic (pictures on your left) for dinner and moved onto bricxx (pictures below).


this is bricxx.








on left, hannah and annie. (aren't the walls rockin'?) on the right...hookah anyone?









lydia, bruce, raquel, and mary.









trees! with lights! in an underground bar! so cool.







this is party #2 that was quite literally a 2 steps from the other party. we eventually just combined them b/c we were so close. i love it when things work out like that! this was a christmas party with a gift exchange and everything--like my new scarf???




debbie and i.
