...In between, what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine...

Sorry about the first India post - I sent it to the wrong place the first time and it should be posting correctly now (after I sent it I also realized that I repeat myself a little...sorry, I'll fix that later). But, we interrupt Stacey's Indian adventures to bring you this special update:

We had a karaoke night tonight -- and -- guess what?! I sang!!! For some reason, I got up the courage to do it and I signed up yesterday to do "Heart of Glass" by Blondie...I think it went pretty well. My friend Alicia took a video for me. I was a little nervous at first - the Union was pretty full with people since I was close to the beginning of the two-hour long event, like fourth, I think. But, overall, I think I did pretty well. It was so much fun!! I borrowed some leggings from one girl, then had a girl across the hall do my makeup and put on lots of eyeliner and some red lipstick. And I wore this pink shirt off my shoulder to kind of make it look 80s-like. And I tried to frizz up my hair and part it to the side like Blondie. It was so much fun!

A few of the other songs were really good too - I'm a Survivor by Destiny's Child, I Will Survive, I Want It That Way, Man! I Feel Like A Woman -- they were all good, some of the others were just silly. Haha. I was one of only like three people to go by themselves, but I think it worked out well. I wish I could have practiced at least once, then I wouldn't have been so nervous and I could have some dance moves too - I got a little thrown off when there was this unexpectedly long music break. Haha. But it was really fun!!! :o)

I guess you'll all just have to wait to see the video until I get home! Too bad! I wish everyone could have been there to cheer me on.

I will continue with India tomorrow. I think we are now 11 hours ahead of the East Coast.
