9:15pm.  No time this week, the week of short runs.  Ran to the track since I wanted to blast music and it was so late / dark.  To my surprise there were literally hundreds of other people there.  About 3 of them were also running.  Some were doing normal things like play soccer, play basketball, do karate (kind of normal?).  But most were doing weird freshman orientation things like play musical chairs, dance weird Thriller-like dances, doing relay races, playing tag with glow sticks, etc. etc. etc.  It made the running somewhat dangerous!  They are crazy for chanting and bonding here.  After the first mile did some sporadic speed-ups just to maximize the little time I had.

Enjoy Bali-- I want to see pictures. I'm so jealous I'm actually about to look up how wonderful it is there.

Crazy campus track!

Don't we have a blogger that lives in Bali? Say hi to them if you see them.
