Watched the Corporation today. It, as well as these past two weeks, further convinced me that I don't need as much as I think I need. I shouldn't want half the things I want.

Everyone was restless today. I almost started crying just because I was cranky and then got over myself. A handy practice I've been doing lately... half of the people went into Bangalore at 5 a.m. b/c jim had to get his plane at 7 a.m. and that was the only way they could go to the bike race. Turns out that there was no open forum for the bike race anyway so I didn't miss anything. I hate being trapped here. We tried getting the directions to take the bus, but no one would tell us and maybe for the first time it's best that we get shown. As long as that actually happens. I'm making a stink if it doesn't by the week after next. No one will want to do anything next week anyway since we'll be working on our paper.

Ruma Sen is here for a couple of days. She's one of my favorite professors at Ramapo. I'm just happy to have a woman like her here. I wish she could have stayed longer.

All of the food here gives me pains now and then, but what's the point since it is all going through me anyway. I give up. I'm not letting it stop me from eating and I'm rationing out precious Clif Bars.


i'm convinced i'll be leaving this country with something living inside me. parasite .. ameoba ... something.
