Well I guess the post on the Simple Life is soon to come because I have that on my laptop and today I am stuck in the computer lab since our plans got cancelled last minute. Inefficiency is at work once again! Oh wellz I’m kinda getting used to the last minute plan changes and not being told about htem. Today we took a rikshaw to North Kalmassery and bought the kids chocolates and biscuits… yes secretly they are for us volunteers as well.. : ) what can I say I looove cookies and its almost lunch time and that’s when my stomach starts turning at the thought of another Kernel of Rice entering my stomach. Anyhow we're about to take a trip to kids camp today to have them draw on Health and Religion which I'm interested to see considering most of these kids are from the Tsunami affected areas. We laso get to go watch a Kathakali dance, which I'm really excited about because we're going to watch it from them putting on the make up to the actual dance. Then tomorrow we head to Elippy (i can't spell it) for our overnight trip ona houseboat. I'm so excited!!! A night on the town with a glass of wine or beer for some and a big slumber party of singing, dancing, board games- I don't think we'll be sleeping much tonight. The singing part is my favorite because everyone sings their hearts out... everyday on our trek home after dinner we sing a new song and then we come homea nd sing some more songs hahah.. Ericka is my partner in crime with these schenatigans and man do we enjoy it. As of today i have a little less than 3 weeks left in India and I don't want to come back quite yet. maybe i'll want ot come back ina couple weeks... I know who would've thought that i would wanna stay for so long... It's so stress free here and I know what i'm doomed to when i get home... weeks of case studies, a whole lotta school work and traffic... now i just walk 15 minutes and i'm at work.. well i guess thats the days we're not in the field... When I was in Mumbai I bought the bootleg version of Sex and the City, and a bunch of indian movies. Last night I fell asleep to DDLJ... what a great movie!! :)
Anyhow I guess I should stop babbling and get ot the point. you'll have to stay tuned for my experience this weekend and the post on the simple life. While the post may not be very funny a lotta funny things happen... my mom says don't laugh so much because you'll cry later (i don't understand why they say that) but I've laughed so much during this trip i think I may end up crying for the rest of the summer
