I finally made it here! It's really cool, everything is so different. I landed at the airport at 4am and took a cab (BY MYSELF!) to the campus. I was so scared, but the cab driver was nice and even waited with me until I was let into my room. The traffic is NUTS here. No one stays in thier lane, they just do as they please, and honk the entire time. When you are walking, there are hardly any intersections to cross the street, the cars don't stop and you have to run FAST in order to not get hit by someone. I doubt they would actually hit you, but they get very close!
My roommates are awesome and have really helped when it comes to me being homesick. We are all going to Goa this weekend (there are beautiful beaches there), its a 12 hours bus ride!! ahhh..... oh well, I'm only going to be here once.
We start class on monday and I am taking "Womens Issues in Indian Soceity," "Yoga," and "Service Learning." The service learning class is like community service and we are going to go to a very rural village in a few weeks to help there. It should be very very interesting. Im looking forward to the next month and hope that I climb out of this homesickness soon :)
