The Mudane Life

Why hello.
How are you?

So, I am nearing my 3rd month here in India. Life is rolling to it's own groove. It's slow, it's simple, it's peaceful(most of the time) I have found a tabla teacher as well as a dance teacher, my school is going to be kind enough to set that up for me. I am completely excited about it.

The conservative side of things here is starting to really irritate me. I thought I would be able to handle it, but it proves to be a challenge. I am trying my best. I also find this statement to be a little absurd... "You have to adjust to us, we don't we don't have to adjust to you at all..." Okay, the first part, I understand, the little last bit seems to be a little iffy for me. I mean I know my host parents can't completely adjust to me, and I don't want them to, but I do have somethings about myself that I know won't change, but is being pushed by them to change. There are things that will not change, and then there are things that I know are changing.
Maybe I will admit it; I am a bit scared that I am changing. Because, I know it's happening, and for the good or worse it is, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about that.

Since it is my third month here, I am suppose to change my host family soon. I don't really know what to think about that... I know I have to though. I should bring it up with my host family...

North trip is coming up, and the schedule for it is promising, too good to be true. Every where I want to go. Taj Mahal, Agra, Rajkot, The Himalayas(staying there for I think 2 days in a house near them). The trip starts out with a camel ride in the beautiful desert, watching the sun set in the desert and I believe staying there for a night. What a great way to start out an amazing trip. I am more than excited about meeting up with all the exchange students. I guess it's because it's comforting to be with people who are somewhat going through the same thing as you. On a bus with all of them for 15 days, oh yes. So hyped up for it, sooo hyped up. I actually had a dream about it the other night. But I have a feeling that it's going to be better than my dreams. I need a break from being in this small town anyway...

Hope all is well at home. I miss you all. tata for now.
