It's absolutely surreal-- realizing that I'm actually in India. Of course what brings me back to remembering that fact is this damn keyboard that I'm using at the Internet cafe. It's sticking for every other key, so I'm having to press the spacebar harder and harder each time. Dammit.

The flights were fine, I slept or read most of the way. I seem to have carried that habit over to India as well; I did not much today or yesterday other than sleep. Until I can get some of my arrangements ready for travel within the city (Vinod is at work most of the day) and communication (I'm getting a cell phone today), it's hard to do much of anything.

Outside I can hear the loud trucks roar past and the random little autorickshaws and scooters trying to beep through. Maybe I'll stop there for today. Hopefully, I'll have some more tomorrow...

I'm extremely proud of myself. I slept for two and a half hours. Then, I got up, had a bowl of Special K (low-carb, at that) and realized that I'll miss it for three months. However, to keep some of the magic going, I'm taking three boxes of Splenda with me, which I douse liberally on the cereal every morning as an homage to the sweet tooth that I veil so well.

But onwards to the business at hand- I'm leaving for India. And slowly, somewhere, I'm starting to feel excited again, instead of nervous and anxious. It could be because I was talking to my cousin Vinod and he told me that a recruiter in Bangalore wanted to see me "as soon as I landed" to talk about accent training. Maybe something big WILL happen. Who knows.

I'm pretty sure this will be my last post for a while, seeing as how we won't have any net access at the flat. To be forthright, I don't know what else to say here. As a result, I'll merely bid adieu.

Now this is an awfully early time for me to wake up, isn't it? Well, the truth is, I never went to sleep.. at all. Why? Because I was reading Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown. If you don't know, he also wrote The DaVinci Code. I got DaVinci Code for Christmas, and I finished that in one night. I got this yesterday and I finished it in one night. It might be safe to say that I enjoy this author. So now I'm in the situation of wondering whether I should get a few winks of sleep until 9:30 (church) or just stay awake. Hmm..
