I didn't get to play my keyboard that much during tonight's seminar on music despite the topic being on pitch and key signatures. But I had some fun jamming afterwards with our cantor after we found out that we both liked the same set of mass songs. (He had not sang those songs ever since he got back from the US a year ago while I had been hoping all these years that someone would be interested in singing those songs again during mass.)
To get a bit of exercise and stretch my legs, I walked up to the third floor of our office building earlier this afternoon. There I paused at the open lobby overlooking central campus. The only people I see are an occasional student walking by with an umbrella over his/her head (there was a slight drizzle) or biking through campus, and a boy in rags--probably from the slum areas outside campus--trying to repair the broken chain of his bicycle in the shelter of the bus stop in front of our building. At the same time, I rued the fact that I didn't have my camera with me to capture how peaceful the campus looked without crowds of students milling around and cars filling the parking lots.
After eating lunch out outside campus and seeing that the weather was pleasant enough for a walk, I decided to take a different route back to my office for a change of scenery. As a result, I got to see what renovation work was being done on the main office building of our college. The walls and roof were being repainted and section of roofing was (finally!) being built over the stairs coming down from the rear entrance.
