Today is really boring, honestly. I'm sitting on my bed doing hw, looking for summer job opportunities, and cleaning. Woohoo.
In slightly interesting news, I discovered that 2 more girls will be moving in with us for 2 months or so. More on that later when I meet them and actually have something to say about it...
I was asked 2 questions by the lovely S Deaver and thought you all might possibly be interested in the answers.
Where are your classes held?
I take all of my classes as the IES center, which is in New Friends Colony in New Delhi. I live in Greater Kailash 2, if any of you are interested in looking on a map. It takes me approximately 15-20 minutes to get to school every morning, depending on how bright-eyed and bushy-tailed my tuk tuk driver is. I get to IES at 9 every morning and generally don't leave until 5. I have anywhere from 1 to 4 classes per day, with breaks in between.
Where do you eat when not at home?
The beauty of life here at Auntie Chopra's house is that I never have to eat anywhere else!! She makes us breakfast and dinner on the weekdays and all three meals on the weekends. At breakfast there is always a dish of paranthas, which are like naan but more substantial, usually made with potatoes or minced veggies. We all take one with us for lunch during the week. The only time I have eaten anywhere other than home is when we went out for Will's birthday. It is nice to be fed regularly, but I would like to try some other places in the area. Being so near M block market makes it very difficult because there are so many wonderful restaurants. And EVERYTHING delivers here. Ice cream shops, restaurants, McDonalds, it's crazy. My friends and I are always lamenting at 2 in the morning during a study sesh that we wished McD would just drop off some c-nugs, fries and shakes. Well, in India that's totally possible. I just don't know about the availability of those exact products here haha.
I hope that covers it! Everyone feel free to send questions and I'll answer them as soon as possible!

Hi Hon,
ReplyDeleteCurious about your new housemates. I wonder how much longer before you have McD's delivery...:) I wish you another week of enjoyable experiences. Certainly week's end at Taj Mahal will be wonderful! I'll have to come up with some questions for your next Q&A...
All my love,
Mom
Thanks for filling me in a bit about food and classes! Delightful to hear from you so quickly! :)
