Sent in my final "Maximizing Your Study Abroad" assignment yesterday, just printed out my final paper, have my field notes completed, and now I'm waiting to be called into a room to take my final Hindi oral exam.
I should be worried about this.
Okay, I can't really muster up worries. I've mentally checked out of the academic part of this program. I'm ready to spend time in India with my parents, go home, and then go to Carleton. I would probably care more if this grade were going to be factored into my GPA. That's probably a lie. I feel that I've already passed this test by surviving in rural Rajasthan. My Hindi is very, very far from perfect, but I can get what I want and I could always figure out how to get food and water. Problem nahi hai.
I'm in Jaipur right now, my parents are coming on the 15th. We then go to Agra, Varanasi, Gaya, Patna, and maybe somewhere else. I'm not good at details, which will not surprise my mom as she reads this. I am however, really excited to go to some main Buddhist sites because I could never get to Dharmasala or Nepal. But I had a great NGO experience, which is more important to me. I got to go now. I'm on a school computer and my friend needs to print a paper.
Namaskar,
Erica
