Just checking in from India. I have now been here for a little over three weeks and I can't believe it! It feels like I have already been here for 3 months. I feel as if I am adjusting pretty well to my new environment...not too much culture shock. It's funny that most of my annoyances here are directed towards the group that I came here with and

atkins diet is on the way out, carb free is beginning to fade now. general mills cereals just basically backlashed by starting a "whole grain" campaign. It's kind of funny, because you feel like health stuff should be a "truth", but when you see that it's just a marketing fad it just makes you wonder about the veracity of health information.

I was sure that you would acclimate well to india because of your americorps experience. I'm glad to hear things are going so well. It's snowing in New Brunswick now, they say it's supposed to be "blizzard-like" conditions. It's annoying because I'm stuck in the house now. I'm working rush for the rutgers bookstore, so I have to do that tomorrow too. I hate when you get hemmed in by weather, because if you're slightly depressed it just kind of exacerbates it. Plus I can't get to the gym, well, that depends on whether they're open or not.

I eat eggs and potatos all the time now because it's the cheapest stuff to buy. I'll probably stay away from stuff like that in the future. I'm actually going to walk in May I just figured out! Yay. I decided to maybe go abroad to Japan or something, just to get out of my skin in a place where americans are at least somewhat welcomed. At any rate, keep updating and stay away from viscious diseases!
