Accounting open house

I had to cancel my afternoon class today because the lights were out in that part of town when I there and my classroom has no windows. My students were ecstatic to say the least. This morning, there was hardly anyone in my morning class because they all had to set up for the accounting departments open at the university. Apparently a lot of my students and my host sister study accounting. I went to the open house after class was over and was amazed at how intricate each booth was. Each class had to set up a booth of something. I still don't really understand how it ties into accounting. One booth was displaying a gourmet chocolate company, one was talking about environmental issues and one was talking about cultural differences in the 4 regions of Ecuador (coast, mountains, Amazon, and Galapagos). I don't really see the connection, but it was fun to walk around and get free stuff and see 90% of my morning class students how had missed class that morning. Tonight, I'm going with my sister to her faculty's celebration. Apparently there's music and dancing and a bonfire! sounds like fun!
