Hey all :)
I know I haven't written in awhile, but that's because I have barely left the house. I have not seen anything new of India in a long time. It makes me terribly sad, really because I am pretty sure I will never be back, but with the amount of work I have to do I really have no choice. Unlike many of my peers here, all of my classes count towards my degree and are included in my GPA so no slacking off for Katie. Not that I want to, just it would be nice to not be using an entire month of study abroad to be locked in the house working. I'll spare you the details but we are all sick and stressed and ready to go home. This is not at all how I imagined my experience would be so I'm a little sad on top of everything else. I have about 2.5 weeks left and I don't even know if I'll make it to the market one last time to get gifties :( This is sounding like one lavish pity party, but I assure you I'm working as hard as I can through the sickness and am waiting in anticipation until I get to return home to my wonderful family. Thoughts and prayers of support and strength would be much appreciated.
To end on happier note, I will be attending a true Punjabi wedding next Tuesday (Monday morning your time :) My sari is currently being made, I bought bangles and Auntie is letting us all borrow jewelry for the occasion. Let me warn you, you all are NOT ready for the level of bling and pizzazz I will be sporting. When in Delhi... :)

Prayers that all recover from being ill, and that your school work goes well! I, too, would love to see pix!! (Imagine cello practice in the background, since James is practicing. Hope the wedding music is as fun as looking at the bling and outfits!)
ReplyDelete...I keep imagining the scene from Bend It Like Beckham...
ReplyDeleteLove you

Well, it's possible the family was Punjabi because they're Sikh so we shall see!!
