INDIA: HERE I COME!

Well, it's official. (It was official before, but not it's REALLY official!) I wired the money to India this afternoon! Yes, now I am broke, but it's one of the best broke feelings I've had in a long time! This is more than a trip for me. Although I have a few scary things to accomplish before I can go, I am ready. I am ready to witness a culture so foreign to anything I have ever known. I am ready to be scared and overwhelmed and lost and excited and paranoid and mesmerized and awed and homesick.
