Natasha and I attended an etiquette dinner tonight, put on by Career services. They fed us a fancy five course meal and told us what we should and should not do at formal dinners. I felt a bit distracted during the meal and wasn't so conversational as I could/should have been.
But Natasha had lots to say afterwards. In her own words (and with gutteral punch):
"booooring! It was so boring! Hierarchy enforcing. People who are polite feel fake!"
But we had cheesecake for dessert! And even though it was way too rich and creamy, a little bit was wonderful.
And etiquette is about making the other people feel welcome.
RSVP means reply if you are or are not attending. Let them know.
I learned so much!
