ain to see a waterfall, in the rain. I have played with a monkey had endless amounts of tea. Took a tour of the Mysore Palace and have taken the sleeper trains to and from excursions to Wayanad and Koppel. Have gone shopping for Indian clothes and attended a benefit concert for people that could not afford medical care. Had a bonfire and barbeque at one of our administrators houses, went out for a nice dinner on the 13th floor balcony of a building, talked to a lot of really interesting people around India for our classes (I have learned so much.) I have kept a journal and written papers, been to an Indian temple and saw a man with a knife literally through his cheek, attended a Cricket match, given a presentation and just spent the weekend on a home stay with the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered) community members not understanding a word of what they were saying because they were speaking in Tamil. I had a blast and it has been my favorite weekend thus far! Now it’s time to write this modules paper and prepare for our mid semester break to the Mountains!! Hopefully from now on I can keep up with my blog! Sorry for being terrible at keeping a blog.

Catching Up :)
So I am terrible at keeping a blog! But to catch you up from day 3 to now almost 2 months in, here are some things I have been up to. I have been to the slums in Bangalore as well as the slums in Koppel, cooked a few meals at Visthar and ran around in the kitchen with coconuts like we were in Monty Python. I celebrated the Onam festival as well as the Naga, and Durga festivals. Watched Bollywood films (one in a theater in Koppel!) I have encountered killer spiders the size of my hand in Wayanad, and climbed down and back up a mount
