Dear readers,
Her's a blast on what's been up recently here in India!
There has been much excitement in the form of infants. Last semester, the dorm mother Ms Sarah gave birth to a little boy, we found out that the Alter Ridge dorm mother was expecting, and now it has been announced that two teacher couples, the Okies and the Luukkonens, are expecting in the summer of next semester! I am pretty dissapointed that I won't be here, but photos of the new ones will have to do.
Speaking of babies, the knitting club has started a charity project fo the local hospital. Most hospitals will provide care packages for new parents, which include stuff such as diaperes, warm clothes etc for the babies. The local hospital (LCH) is not able to provide this for new parents, so the knitting club has started making baby stuff to donate to the hospital. So far, I've made 2 1/2 hats in three days!
I've also joined the fashion club of Woodstock. Currently we're working on modelling stuff for the development office, and making a couple of basic garments for ourselves. It's fun to discuss style with a whole bunch of people I'm not usually with. We get some interesting ideas...
In the various ensembles I'm in, we're singing a huge repertoire this semester. Acapella is singing Just Haven't Met You Yet, Man In The Mirror, As Time Goes By, Stand By Me, She Will Be Loved, as well as the pieces we sang last semester. In advanced choir, we've split a girl's choir out of the rest, and we're singing a lovely french piece called "Dirait-on". I am the go-to chorister for pronounciation, which is intersting as people seem to have a fair bit of trouble with my accent!
Life at Woodstock continues on,
Emily

Babies: their heads are small.
