It's been a while!

Oh, I havent blogged in forever...for various reasons...internet has been down more frequently these days because of the monsoon rains...and I've just been lazy otherwise. The monotony of life in India has caught up with me.

One great thing did happen - I wore a SARI! Clarine (one of the girls who like here along with myself and Jane) bought it for me as a going away present. It was the best gift ever. Though I was falling out of it halfway though the night. We went to a wedding reception and I looked at Clarine and said "its falling off!" I am clearly not graceful enough for a sari. That thing is held together with ONE pin. Clarine looked at me in horror when I said that and replied "then we must hurry and leave" hehe. T'was hilarious. I felt like Cinderella...we had to run off before my sari spell was undone.

So I'm leaving in 2 days...while I am happy, I am so sad to leave Jane, Clarine and Tessa(a new addition to our clan - Jane's student from New Zealand). She is really innocent and sweet. She grew up in rural NZ and said she had never seen black people. I'm glad to be introducing her to "the life" haha. Last night she touched my hair and yelled "Oh!" followed by hysterical laughter. She said "I didn't expect it to feel like that" and continued cracking up. I am not sure how it felt to her but her reaction made my laugh!!

Anyway! I have a "fake" exam to take now. My professor is so worthless he gave me the exam questions before hand and is making me write it at home. SO, yes a "take-home exam"
