Last night I went to the Welcome Back party at the International House at UAB. I feel like a lot of things in my life at UAB have changed drastically, including classes, BCM, where I live, but I always feel comfortable at the ihouse, since it's been part of my UAB life since sophomore year.
They started off the party with some games (the theme was the olympics). There were a lot of internationals there, and more Americans than usual also. I've been to a lot of events at the ihouse, but this one was probably the most attended (except our huge events like SpringFest and International Bazaar).
There was a dj and some music playing, so of course, very soon everyone was tired of the games and just wanted to dance! First, it was mostly just the Indian guys dancing. They all dance together, sometimes very closely, and do a lot of dancing with hopping and weird arm movements. It's actually kind of annoying, and most non-Indian internationals agree... haha. I was standing by some African guys, who decided to start making fun of them... haha.
Eventually, everyone started dancing. It is so much fun to dance with Indians, Africans, Spainards, Greeks, and Asians - who just don't dance... haha! I had a fun time and got to meet some new international friends. I am always overwhelmed when I'm in the presence of so many nations who do not follow Christ. Our God is an amazing creator and lover, and how awesome that he would choose to love us to tell His creation about him!
