though i might not show it, i'm ridiculously-- excited! anxious. muddled. grateful! and... apparently ambiguous. there's tons of pros and cons to going, but the decision has been made, the deposit paid and the relatives told-- i have to go. this blog will not only be a means of chronicling my feelings/thoughts/travels but also a way of conveying these to visitors, which includes Future Donelyn. For this Holy Fortnight + 2 that i have left i'll be sharing thoughts as i pack and some that i had during the spring quarter "prep" class [what we call the "10" of our 10+4 adventure as a class].
today i'll leave you with unfinished to do lists [i love lists]...
TO DO BEFORE LEAVING
- Buy weather & culture appropriate clothing
- Find $$$
- Grab addresses for postcards
- PACK!
- Get my hair straightened (the hundred or so bucks will be worth the self-conscious or time problems i'll encounter hairwise)
- Practice walking
TO DO IN INDIA
- Visit the International Institute of IT
- Visit a garden (bangalore is aka "the garden city")
- Enjoy a sunrise
- Find a good hotdog
