How to trick a gringa into participating in Carnaval:
a) When she refuses the position of school "Reina," invent a new position: "La Princesa"
b) Take advantage of the fact she doesn't know what's going on. Tell her she has to do nothing for school Carnaval events. Make her feel happy that everyone is being so friendly and kind. Lull her into a false sense of security that she will be an observer ONLY of almost every event.
c) Keep gringa in the dark until approximately one minute before events. Then, adorn her in a giant skirt and tell her to get ready to dance. When she protests, tell her you have, in fact, told all the students that said gringa will be dancing. Take advantage of her genuine wish to fulfill student expectations.
d) Push gringa out of room. Gringa, having no other option, will dance.
BUT be warned: gringa will become a very grumpy gringa. And will probably be thinking thoughts of revenge...from that moment forward!
...Yes, that's right--today brought yet another surprise dance event. This time, a formal occasion. That included utilizing said (lack of) dance skills to parade up and down the courtyard in front of, you guessed it, the entire school. Students as well as teachers. Multiple times.
At least, dear school, you are very kind in regards to my lack of dancing skills.
