Having made it through a busy weekend, I am off to a busy week (we are leaving for Hyderabad on Wednesday for an Easter Break excursion). On Friday I hung out at Erik and Adam's place in Salt Lake, Saturday I went to the South City Mall to watch the Hunger Games and then came back to do some homework and watch movies on my computer, and Sunday was spent doing more homework and watching movies. Last night we also decided to cook a nice dinner for our host parents as a special treat. Rachel and I sauteed chicken with oregano and parsley and then added it to spaghetti sauce and had spaghetti with garlic bread. Rachel and I were especially excited about the dinner because it was the best Italian food that we have had in India (which doesn't say much seeing as we made it). I was a little upset because with our dinner at first, because we had asked Auntie if we could make her dinner and she had said yes, and then as we were getting ready to prepare dinner, our host parents said that they needed to go to a function and would be back later, so Rachel and I ate the dinner and then had to heat it up for our host parents when they got back at 11:00 pm. I had thought that they would have told us they were going to be late for dinner, but that they are don't usually update us on things so we just have to adapt to the situation.
I have also felt very conflicted lately. Something came up during the weekend and it has been very hard to deal with the situation when the people who support you are so far away and can't always talk to you. It is times like these where you truly understand how important family and friends are, and I am glad that I have such a great roommate like Rachel to talk to about what is going on in my life (not to mention she gives great advice). There have been times lately with the amount of homework I'm getting and now this sudden event that came up, where I just want to fly to a deserted island in order to be by myself but I know that since that is not likely, I have to play the hand I have been dealt. I can only hope that things get better with time and hopefully everything will work out for the best. India has taught me many things about myself and I can only be grateful that it is allowing me to grow as a person.
