So it may taken a while, but I finally feel like I'm settling down a bit. If only this had happened earlier right? With less than 2 weeks left, I'm both really excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel (even though the tunnel has been very enjoyable/educational) as well as freaked out with getting all my work done. The weeks feel like they just fly by. I thought that since nothing out of the ordinary has happened I would tell you guys what the "ordinary" is.
Sarah and I have been getting up to go running in the morning at ~6 which has been really nice. Although we only started this week and also have only gone twice because we are not motivated enough to run when its raining. Generally if we don't run, we'll get up at 6:45/7ish, take baths and get ready. We don't have a water heater so we inevitably end up taking baths in cold cold cold water. While I actually enjoyed this in the beginning when it was hot (and its pretty nice after running too), I not so much a fan of the cold water when it is already cold and rainy outside. We usually make it to the mess hall by 8 and have half an hour to enjoy our hot, sometimes spicy, breakfast. And chai, lots of chai.
The work day is from 8:30 to 5 with an hour for lunch at 12:30. Mostly I sit in the research department, where the wifi is located, and do work but I can also mix it up by shadowing at the hospital. I also end up walking around quite a bit to see if I can catch various people in their offices. I've been working on making slide shows about the different programs on campus; if you're interested check them out at www.youtube.com/user/GadchiroliSEARCH. I've also been working on some brochures, video editing, a literature review, etc.
After work we'll relax in the room, generally reading. I've discovered that the library on campus has a really good collection of pleasure reads and so I've been taking advantage of that. After work is probably also when we usually do most of our laundry. Then prayer at 6:45, dinner at 8, and dance class at 9. We'll head back around 10:15, read for a bit, and then sleep. Getting used to the much faster pace of life back at home and at Vandy is going to be interesting.
