Blah blah filler post

SO. MUCH. HOMEWORK
I was really hoping that the workload would be slightly less stringent here, so we could actually get out and explore more than the weekends. Ah well.

It's a really short post today folks. The thing I really wanted to talk about was a crazily surreal moment I had in my evening tuk tuk ride. I got home a little later than usual because we had someone come in and talk about food in India after classes were over. Sadly, it was quite the snoozefest. So anyway, I'm heading home and they sky is freakin beautiful. It's this gorgeous pinky-orange and the sun is this glowy yellow-orange and I am just staring at it contentedly and admiring the beauty of the sky. Then it hits me. I'm staring. At. The. Sun. Because that's totally possible here apparently, with all of the pollution. Can you believe it?! As I was staring at it my brain was telling me it was the moon, you know, like when it gets orangey? Well, nope. The sun. Huh. It's the impossibly high level of smog that makes the sky so pink and pretty at night and also makes it possible to stare into a ball of fire. You know, nbd.

Also I'm really excited because I sent a special giftie to my family for Valentine's Day. I'll talk more about it once they receive it so I don't totally spoil the surprise :)
