I can't believe its already the 30th of May, how time has flown. I'd like to start out by saying I cannot believe that almost six months have gone by since I was visiting everyone in Texas. I miss you all, to say the least. I don't know exactly what to write about, as I've been sitting here staring at the screen for a little over an hour. I love keeping you guys updated on my life even though I am not nearly as fascinated by it as y'all are. (:
Here's how the month of May went by-
Family came to town and we went on a vacation to Singapore and Malaysia. I was so intrigued by the fact that a place SO close to where I live could be so different. It was an opportunity I wouldn't have been able to experience if I hadn't moved to India. I'm thankful to have a mom who will travel with me and family that will come and visit even when there are ocean between us.
Once we got back from the wonderful get away we rested and gave Michael a small tour of India. We couldn't do much because it's about 107 degrees Fahrenheit outside, which is TOO hot for me. I've been staying inside and keeping cool as much as I can.
For most of the month of May we missed church, which really upset me. But I was thrilled to go back as I missed everyone there. I am thrilled to have such an amazing church family and completely blessed at the same time.
I haven't been able to go and teach at the orphanage for about a month now. There have been some political problems, so I asked Sheralyn what had been going on by the home and she said,
"There was a politician of a communist party that was arrested last week. He's a minority party person and his followers are trouble makers. After he was arrested they burned 200 buses and several people were killed. Its all about caste. This guy is of a lower caste blah blah. Its all very demonic. Two guys that were killed were from our village. One was beheaded and one was burned alive. Horrible. Demonic. Anyhow. Things have calmed down somewhat but they still aren't sending buses in or out of the village area. So sad. Our boys are safe though and that's my main concern"
If you don't mind please say a prayer that things have calmed down. I know they aren't as bad as when everything first started but it's still not safe to head into the village, which means no teaching for me. :( At least this is only temporary.
Here's how this week has gone so far:
Sunday-Doctor, Church, Dinner (At dinner it was decided that I will begin playing my violin at church, I have conflicted feelings but I think nervousness is the biggest one right now.)
Monday-Spa day with Mom and Cherie, then Lunch/Dinner at Tryst Cafe.
Tuesday-I laid around all day and watched Season 3 of Pretty Little Liars. And I must say, WHAT an ending!
Wednesday-Around noon I left my apartment and went to Cherie's where we watched Vampire Diaries, baked lemon squares and brownies, made bacon and cheese sandwiches, and hung out.
Thursday-That's today and Im currently sitting on the couch, continuing Vampire Diaries, and blogging.
Friday-I am very excited about tomorrow and here's the day plan: Around 12 I will leave here and head to Nungambakkam, where Sheralyn and the family live and spend the day with them and Erica. That evening there is band practice and I will be FINALLY playing my violin outside of school. That night I will sleepover at Sheralyns house. Which brings us to-
Saturday-In the morning there is "Adventure Kids Teachers Training" hosted by Sher. I am looking forward to this. After that we will all meet up with my mom at the Phoenix Mall. An exciting day this shall be.(:
Well, School starts Monday and I am actually a little happy to get to go back and see old friends, as well as make new ones. I'm also looking forward to leaping into my senior year. My mom has this genius idea that might get me to graduate as early as December. Nothing is final yet, but if it goes like I want it to, I should be home FOR GOOD in December, I sure am missing everyone, so that would be best for me.
I think thats all for now. But I'd like to share a the pictures from the trip so here ya go!
