going to montréal Ratha Yatra!
i'm going to montréal Ratha Yatra this weekend. i have been looking forward to it for a long time, but as of today i'm not. i think for two reasons: 1. i haven't done much to prepare. 2. i feel like i'm getting sick. wtf.
i have to pack my stuff, wash my car, and vacuum the inside. this would be easy to do if i didn't have plans for tonight. rachael and i are having dinner at punjabi dhaba.. and i really can't remember the last time i was there, so i'm excited. then we're going to see brick lane. it's the last day this movie is playing. these independent movies don't usually play for that long, and i really want to see it. it's right at kendall square theatre too, so at least it's convenient. but i'll be getting home late. it sucks. hopefully i'll have the energy to pack when i get home. and hopefully i can get out of work a few hours early tomorrow. then i can clean/wash the car as quickly as possible. luckily it's not too dirty on the inside, but it REALLY needs to be vacuumed. i just want us to be comfortable on trip.. and there is sand on the floors from the beach. it smelt like a bunch of teenage boys were in there too.. oh wait, my teenage cousins were visiting recently. ewww.
my throat hurts. since yesterday i think. i really don't want to get sick or be sick for this weekend. i also hope i don't get my period, i should check the calendar. ugh. i guess now that i'm thinking about montréal, i'm getting excited again. i don't even know if i'll know anybody up there. i did meet a girl, manjari that visited boston last year that is from there. she was really sweet. besides her, i'm not sure if i'm going to know anybody. (besides the boston folk that are going)
i've never been to montréal. i've been to toronto several times. i went for the Ratha Yatra when i was kid there.. it was huge. i would like to go back in general and for the RY sometime, but it's a really long trip. but montréal will be a lot different i think since it's french canada. ok.. i'm definitely forgetting the worry about packing right now and getting excited. yay! going to toronto doesn't feel like going to another country, but thinking about going to montréal definitely does. reminds me, gotta grab my passport.
i'm rambling. i'm tried.. i couldn't fall asleep last night because i was too damn hot. but then i got cold and shut off my fan and then i was hot. but i kept the fan off because my throat hurts a lot. i have to take some serious vitamin c tonight.
i hope HH Bhakti Marga Swami is there.. he rules.
