I survived my test this afternoon, and the rest of my day was wonderful. Maithilee, my next-door neighbor from last year, invited me to go to this garba/bhangra Indian dance festival. She lent me and Jacque some Indian dresses and glittery dots for our foreheads. . . and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!


People in lovely dresses of all colors were forming a ring of dancers--- we stepped in and tried to follow the feet of the dancers in front of us forwards, backwards, spinning--- successfully in Maithilee and Jacque's case, unsucessfully in mine. But it's okay--- looking nice while dancing is not a prerequisite for having fun. . . Later, they turned off the lights, and the music went from cultural to more hip-hop-ish. What a nice way to spend the night after a test--- Both of them are so happy and always smiling--- I can't ever help but be happy when they're around.
