COPIED FROM PLANS BECAUSE I AM LAZY:
Last night I watched a Tamil remake of a Hindi adaptation of Memento! It was crazy!!! It took me a really long time to figure out that it was Memento. It's not really a remake, it just has the same premise (dude with anteretrograde amnesia and tattoos and polaroids and all that). And also songs and a love story. India is still good and I think every day about how lucky I am that I'm not going back to Grinnell for awhile. No offense, I like you guys, but a break will make me like you more. [sullivan][andersen1] how fucking awesome is Dr. V? I want to be his best friend. I'm taking his class and Environmental Issues. I really like all of the teachers I have this semester. I am too fat to fit into this tiny internet cafe booth. So far I have gained weight in India but that's because we lived in a hotel for a week I think. I have a 7 km bike ride every day so I'll probably get more in shape.
I moved in with my host family last night. They are really great and will not stop feeding me. They're all really funny - I can tell even through the language barrier. The father and daughter (14) speak excellent english but the mother and I have to do a lot of pointing. India is hot and beautiful and dusty. I rode my bike home from school today which was very exciting (look up youtube videos of madurai to see why - Indian traffic is very chaotic until you learn the de facto rules). Also, so far, my favorite thing about India is that it is okay to hang out in a muumuu when you're in your house no matter what time of day it is or who is around. Muumuus rule.
