Hyderabad
So, I'm in India. I shouldn't stay online much longer. I am leaving for Vijaywada today (where my mommy's family is) and I have to get packed up in an hour. But I'm caught up watching Mr. 3000 on tv. Yes, Mr. 3000. But in my defense, movies in India are like movies on the airplane - you'll watch them if they have any sort of appeal to you. (And the movie is actually pretty funny). Wow, so much for more interesting things to talk about being in India! Damn.

Okay, here are the plusses so far about India:
1. The weather is not unbearable. It's a bit hot out today, but in general, 80 degrees is the norm and the nighttime weather is great.
2. I am getting along (so far) with my mom really well. I like being able to spend time with her and it makes me fell less guilty for being so frustrating to her at times. She is especially pleased with my trying more Indian food. So that's good.
3. Separate hilarious mom moment: I heard my mom say "butt washer." HA!
4. I had a really nice time with my cousins the other day. Even though they're 6-12 years younger than me, we had a lot of fun. Since I never get to see them, I want to make sure they know who I am and I'm not just they're American cousin they never see.
5. Hyderabad looks like it will be fun. Once the wedding is over, I'll go out here more.

Not so great stuff:
1. I still feel a little bit uncomfortable around SB. He seems to be doing better than last time, but I wish I had more to say to him. I am getting a bit more comfortable now that I'm realizing that there are some compulsions at work there, so I shouldn't take things personally.
2. I am even more terrified of bugs and such and I don't like the idea of staying in the new house alone. It's just so unlived in, and dirty... I dunno.
3. I feel like a bratty American person sometimes, but at the same time, it's still hard to get used to servants, even though they've been around every time I go to India. I think the older I get, the more uncomfortable I get by it. Having to yell for them everytime I need something. It feels weird.

Shit. I need to go. I am on a dialup connection and I need to get off the internet because so many people are gonna try to call here I think.

Okay, I'll hope to update later...
