Today's Story

Today, our group had a face-to-face meeting, as I mentioned in yesterday's story. As agreed, we decided to gather after the Zuhr prayer at the gazebo in the MIPA building of IAIN Palangkaraya.

After the Zuhr prayer, I prepared to meet according to the agreed-upon schedule. While waiting for other friends, I played with my phone. Despite having some members from my own major in the group, I still felt awkward as we had just met, and we didn't know each other well due to our different majors.

After a while, friends from the same major as mine arrived. We chatted while waiting for other group members. As it was already noon, at twelve o'clock, we finally began our meeting.

The leader assigned tasks and sought suggestions from the members. We divided tasks for bringing necessary items and also discussed the food supplies for the upcoming camping event. In addition to assigning tasks for bringing items, we also collected funds from each member in the group, amounting to 25 thousand Indonesian Rupiah. Once all tasks were assigned, we decided to conclude the meeting and set a new appointment to create carnival costumes for the PAB event.

In the evening, after the Isha prayer, we gathered again with all members at one of our group members' homes. First, we reintroduced ourselves in person to become more acquainted. After that, some of my friends went out to buy materials for the carnival costumes. Those of us who stayed at the house worked on other tasks to avoid accumulating work and ensure a speedy completion.

After some time, those who went out to find materials returned, and we started working more seriously. We began measuring the carnival costume models and crafting unique costume tails. Time flew, and it was already 11 PM. We decided to continue the next day as we were feeling tired and sleepy, but the costumes were halfway done.
