There are 20 days left until my big adventure begins. I feel like I am denying to myself that this trip is actually happening because it feels so unreal. I'm starting this blog to help get the ball rolling and myself focused and ready for what I hope will be one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life.
So I give you 20 thoughts for each day that separates me from India:
1. Fear: Am I ready? Can I do this?
2. Ignore that first thought: You CAN do it! You are ready to soak up all that India has waiting for you.
3. What do I pack? Luckily my to the floor dresses will pass as appropriate attire in Chennai. SCORE. Thank-you Goodwill.
4. I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE FOOD!
5. I am gonna rock a sari so hard that all them Indian folks won't know what hit em.
6. How am I going to survive the heat?
7. I must ride an elephant.
8. HENNA. All over my body.
9. How can I get myself invited to a wedding?
10. I wonder if I can find an Indian running buddy.
11. What do I wear while running if I can't show my shoulders or knees?!
12. Maybe I won't run as much as I think.
13. I must pick the brain of every native I can (politely of course).
14. Be a sponge. Listen & sit back.
15. I should be learning Tamil instead of writing in this blog.
16. I don't even know how to blog.... what am I doing?!?!
17. CURRRY. Errr day. Did I mention how much I am going to eat?
18. Must meditate & take a yoga class while there as well. I want to feel connected to myself and nature.
19. I really hope I don't get sick, even though with my body it is pretty much inevitable.
20. I CAN NOT WAIT. TREMBLING IN EXCITEMENT. (Hence the all caps).
Well there you have it, the first blog post of many. I am hoping to do a more serious post soon on goals and expectations to serve for reflection purposes later on. I'm guessing this blog will be semi-casual with many rants. I am not a blogger or a great writer, so bear with me. On that note I think I'll end this thang gossip girl style.
