I cannot believe I'm leaving for INDIA tomorrow...

It's the night before I leave for India, and to be honest, it really hasn't hit me yet. I'm sure it's going to hit me like a bus once I get to the airport tomorrow, but until then, I'm taking everything in stride and trying to picture myself in the center of all the vibrant culture that I've been reading about. I've always been fascinated by India and everything it has to offer, but when I applied for this program, it was quite the impulse decision--maybe why it hasn't quite hit me yet that I'm going. I was originally planning on studying abroad for a semester in Milan, Italy, but when my plans fell through last Spring, I was determined to find another study abroad experience that would fit my personality and expose me to a completely different way of living; I'm very confident that I found the right one and I cannot wait for the next three weeks. Regardless, I'm extremely excited to meet everyone else going on the trip, and I just received a new digital camera from my parents that I can't wait to use an abuse. India is going to be crazy--see you all tomorrow!

Hi Drew:
I look forward to reading your comments on your reaction to this VERY different place (wow, no comparison to Milan, huh?) and how you relate it to your readings.
