GOING BACK

Hi everyone! I just wanted to make a quick post to say that i am going back to India!!

For those of you who don't know, I'm going to be studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina this coming fall. While I'm studying there for the fall semester, my program actually begins in July, so my ability to make plans for the summer was rather limited. Instead of completing a shortened internship which would have taken up all of my time prior to leaving for Argentina, I decided to go back and work at NIRMAN. I will be there for the month of June - and be back home for the 4th of July!

At NIRMAN, I will be working more on my curriculum planning project from last summer and will help at the teacher training sessions. Unfortunately, the first day of school is July 1, which means I won't be around when all of the students come back. Disappointing! However, their summer session wraps up in the middle of June, so I will have the chance to see the students who chose to attend the summer session.

What I'm most looking forward to:

-seeing my friends and students again!
-attending Mitali's wedding in Varanasi (how fortuitous that it is taking place in June!!)
-(buying a new saree for Mitali's wedding) :)
-exploring the city and visiting my favorite shops (and shopkeepers!)
-the simplicity of living there and the slow pace at which life operates

Hopefully I'll do a better job on updating my blog this time!
