October 29th is Dominica's Independence Day. They have festivals that sometimes last weeks in the capitol city of Rosseau, Dominica. Around campus we say many of the Ross employees dressed in their Creole attire. One of them mentioned that people come from all over the Caribbean to enjoy the festivals. It's like a Caribbean Mardi Gras. They have traditional Creole food and various entertainers and musicians.
Unfortunately, my landlord said that Ross always schedules Mini's right after the Creole festival weekend, presumably to discouraged 1st semesters from going. They probably don't want to be held liable, especially as we've gotten emails of students being a little too tipsy around campus.
Hopefully next year I will be in my "groove" as far as study strategies and knowing how much extra time, and I will be able to attend this festival.
