And my sanity returns...

Whew, sorry about the dramatics in that last one, I think it was the mini-plague speaking. I am now cured or least for now until I inevitablly consume something else that does me in. I can’t really say that too much of great thrill or excitement has happened – would you believe it that sitting all day at a computer in India is extremely similar to sitting all day at a computer in the U.S? Craaazy. I am definitely looking forward to our visits to the field in August to see some more of India.

I did manage to meet up with another American who has been living in Delhi for a year. We determined that the way we “knew” each other was that she worked with a guy who lived with a guy who lived with a girl who now lives with a girl who I am friends with from college. Oh, and Kevin Bacon is in there somewhere. Regardless of our degrees of separation, I’m sure we will be facebook friends soon which thereby makes us BFF. She was great though because she was able to tell us a ton of places to go in Delhi and things to see, etc.

And finally, drum roll please, the moment you all have been waiting for…I found a pool and went swimming today! It was so great to be back in the water. I came to the sad realization that I hadn’t been swimming in three weeks, which is officially the longest I’ve gone without swimming since the summer of 2003. What do you think that says about the levels of chlorine in my body? Possibly slightly elevated. But this pool is fabulous and even a full 50m long. The water smells a tad weird and my skin itches a wee bit after I get out but those are really irrelevant details. Anyway, I’m sure you all are super excited to hear about this but clearly if you came to this site you were pretty bored anyway…
