Saturday afternoon was relaxing for me. Finally. I was able
to sleep in, workout, freshen up, shoot some photos and generally enjoy my day.
I had heard there was a choir from Shillong performing on campus in the evening, and had
decided to attend. Two new international students from Australia, Hannah and
her brother Ashish, also decided to attend. Together we attended the choir
performance and were very glad we did. The music was a unique combination of
old hymns that had been “re-mixed” and new songs. The theme of the performance
was “Stand Still and Know I am God.” Who doesn’t need that reminder?
Not only was the event enjoyable, but getting to know Hannah
and Ashish better was also nice. I find the Australians here (not just Hannah and
Ashish) to be very agreeable and easy to talk to. They seem genuinely
interested in any conversation I have had with them. We met up with Arj and Daphne at the canteen for dinner afterwards.

Events like this occur here and there on campus, which it
nice. You just have to keep your ears and eyes open for the information. These
events offer a unique experience to do something different and get to know
people. I can now say that I have been to a concert in the jungle. Boom!
