Well all it's been an interesting week. Its been a rough one too. I've really missed home and the things there. But I'm trying to stay positive and be happy. Classes, minus the Diaspora Class, are going well. My Gay Indian Literature class is going to be a blast the teacher is a hoot, he's gonna be a hard teacher but i figure only that class is really going to be a huge challenge. I need to find one to replace the Diaspora class and then i'll be set. I have friday's off and they try to do that with international students so we can travel if we like. Tonight we are going to the market and maybe to a coffee house. tomorrow we are doing a town tour and going to see a movie called The Three Idiots, it will be in hindi so sumana is going to translate it for us. But it's supposed to be really funny. Wednesday night the girls and I went to the mall to buy indian cloths because western cloths were making us too warm in the heat. We also go a PIZZAAAAAAA. i don't think i've ever been so happy to see a pizza in my life! it was really close to a pizza from home...with pepperoni's and all! I look really cute now too lol. I'll get pictures when we are out tonight and try and post them for you all to see.
I'm still working on getting along with food here, they use a lot of spices in everything and my stomach really hates it so i try to eat bland foods, or as bland as they get foods but it's really hard when you just go to the mess hall and they give you whatever they made for the night. Although they always have deserts at lunch which are great and ice cream or pudding at dinner. I also know i can always eat dal (lentils) they are chili hot a lot of the time but at least they don't make me sick. I think on sunday there is going to be a hiking excursion on campus with abasheck sumana's assistant). And next weekend will be a 4 day weekend because we have thursday off for sivarachi i believe (hindu holiday). Abasheck said him and a bunch of his buddies are putting together a scavanger hunt on campus for students to have something to do.
Meeting people is very difficult here. men don't really talk to women much, they are very social and touchy feely with other men however. Women are very hard to come by on campus and they don't really talk much and they dont really have physical contact that ive seen. i really miss physical contact and i really miss having people to talk to, the american students are starting to get to know each other in the building but by the time the days done we all want to hop on our computers and skype people.
Ok i'll write again in a few days hope everyone is well and fine Love you and miss you all!
