I've been in this country for about a week now, and I'm only starting to get my bearings. We're starting to fall into a routine, which is definitely a good thing, but I'm worried that the routine will totally be shaken up next week though because we'll be taking an excursion to Aligar. Even though we're finding our groove, it's not exactly easy. Our schedule is, in a word, intense. Hindi is taking over my life. When I signed up for this program, I sort of considered learning the language like a cherry on the top of a public health sundae. But right now, it seems that all I'm spending my time on is having my host mother dictate sentences about khana, which means "food," so that I can write them down only to be completely incapable of repeating them to my teachers at school. Our classes have been running over the listed schedule by a couple of hours in some cases, and I come home from the program center totally drained.
But today we got our things together, dragged ourselves out of the house and made did some real tourist stuff. We went to India Gate! And we took pictures! So look, Mom! I'm doing some cool things here, I promise!
