So, I have had a stomach virus/infection for the last couple of days and haven't been able to reach a computer. Work is pretty mellow today and I am recovering-still having trouble eating. Everything here has so much oil and chili powder that I just cannot stomach it anymore. I have been surviving the last 5 days or so off of fruits I buy from a man that sits in the dirt with them outside of our building (legit, huh?).
I got an offer to go to India again in the winter to participate in a course where we would travel all over Norther India and into Nepal but I do not think I am going to go since it is $6,000 dollars and I would rather feel more secure about my Wellesley tuition getting taken care of.
My landlady lectured me yesterday about what a "dirty little American" I am...apparently by her standards not tightening my bed sheet enough every morning is sufficient evidence to throw out names. I think on my last day here, I am going to not make my bed and leave every single window (all 3 of them) in her little apartment open...hehehe.
Anna and I have been reading a lot since we haven't watched a television in SO long. I think I am up to the 12 book mark and still going strong.
Right now we are prepping to do Haiku poems with the kids and I am wondering how that is going to go....:/ They can be extremely challenging at times but I think they find us entertaining because they are always fighting for our attention in and outside of class.
I also found out this morning that Expedia decided to change my flight to Fresno and I now can't make it work because it includes me being able handle a 10 minute layover in Minneapolis!
I am still slowly accumulating gifts for people (I can only handle so much interaction with the terrible street vendors). If anyone wants something specific let me know. AND Amelia (another Wellesley intern who is working in Banares right now) is coming to see Bombay and staying with Anna and I for like 4 days next weekend!
