Pictures!

So I'm Joining this photo competition and I thought I'd put the pictures up coz I think they're really cool so here's some random pictures from around India:

Cross Country

Wow! So its been like forever since I updated this thing. I've been very buisy although not alot has been happening. Except like school and life. So the most interesting thing that happened this week was a race that I had to run. It was a two mile race and basicially it was within the school like 11th and 12th grade girls competing and then some staff ran too. And I won so that was the highlight of my week. Now I'm traning for this other race which is in two weeks and I've been doing this crazy traning that hurts sooo bad I can hardly move right now- its very exciting! Prom is two weeks from now too so I'm really excited for that too. Yea... Hopefully I'll update sooner this time. Heres some race pictures of me and my mom.

Here's the beginning

This is like the middle

Here's me and my mom after

ugh! Life. Things are going better now. I'm getting zoned in to school. Life is settling down and I'm starting to feel at home and happy to be here. So the 15th of August is India's independance day and so we got the day off of school which is the only day of the whole school year that we get off so its different. My friends Gita,Xio and I came to my house for cheesecake and then we went out to lunch after which we went to the dorms to relax for a bit before we had to go to this play that night. It was fun... it was really nice to be free coz Gita is on restriction at dorms for a month so it was the only day that she was allowed to go anywere. Today is the highschool boys dorm 'open house' where they decorate and we can go around the dorm and stuff. Its not overly exciting but its better than sitting around doing nothing. I have some homework to do and then I'm off!

Thats me in my Sari for independance day

For some reason I can't get anymore photos to upload... later.

Well, it’s definitely been a while since I’ve updated this thing. I made it to the States for the summer and had a really amazing time. I didn’t get to see everyone I wanted but I did get to see most and I felt like I got to spend some real quality time with a lot of my friends. It was just really great to see everyone again and be away from India for a bit- I really needed that. I felt like this summer was really blessed it was better than I hoped it would be. On the 18^th I left to travel back to India and had an amazing journey. My first flight was delayed and that caused me to miss all of my other flights so I was routed through Dubai so that I would not have to wait 24 hours for the next flight to India. When I got to Dubai they couldn’t find my name on the computer and basically told me that I wasn’t getting out of Dubai. After firmly speaking to the guy at the counter and then completely breaking down he agreed to help me and eventually about a minute before the flight left the ground got me a ticket. I finally arrived in India seven hours after I was originally supposed to and of course my bags are still in Detroit Michigan, so I’m stuck in Delhi with not a lot of money indefinitely until my bags arrive. Anyways thankfully they came the next day and we were able to get a bus home. I had a week to recover before school. There was a lot of unpacking and sleeping. One night my friends and I dressed up and went out to dinner and then went dancing which was really fun (pictures below). A week ago School started. I really felt like I just wasn’t ready to go back. The summer wasn’t long enough and though I was excited to see my friends I wasn’t ready for school. I spent my first day asking myself ‘what am I doing here?’ It wasn’t like I could just ease into school because from the first day I had like three hours of homework. I’m finally back in the right mindset for school although I am exhausted and I think I’m getting sick. But my friend Gita (whose like my best friend here) is coming over this weekend so it should be great! I’m excited.

Anyways that’s my update…. Here’s some pictures:
