Application

Hi all! So the application for India went up yesterday and I am going to attempt to work on it this weekend. I know I have been waiting for it to come, and you'll all ask me "why I don't start now"... I'm here to tell you all that umm kids are exhausting and by the end of my day I'm whipped out and a book blanket and 20 mins on facebook are about as much as I can handle. Although...ok ashley side note :-)... we extracted DNA from fruit today and oh man it was pretty much awesome and I will show you all if you want me to it's simple and takes like 10 mins. Umm so yeah I've been checkin stories out from the library here in Oshkosh to read up on random cultural information, my suggestion to you all before you go to a country is to read fact and fiction, you get such useful information from both. You get the important travel and staying in certain areas information from non-fiction books, and you get cultural things such as important foods (that keep coming up in every book you read) or ways to conduct yourself, such as women when traveling alone should travel by train in a woman's only car or by taxi if walking in necessary in India...but it's a better idea all around to have a male accompany you anywhere. So I'm super excited and know I will be blown out of this world by the experience and I am going to go to sleep now and get up for a long day of work tomorrow. Loves y'all
