Last night in Hyderabad

So this is my last night in Hyderabad at the Tagore International House. Tomorrow at 1 pm we fly to Delhi, to spend 5 days of travel between Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra; the Taj Mahal will be one sight that we will see. Obviously I haven't blogged in a while, honestly aside from not being in the mood to do it, nothing has really happened anyways. I have mostly spent my time writing a paper, studying for exams, and killing time by watching things like THE OFFICE or ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, of which I have done too much.

I am virtually all packed up, aside from a few things I will need to use in the morning and what not. The hostel is really dead, as most people, including half the miami students have already left. So I am killing a lot of time right now, checking my email and facebook every 20 minutes. I did just have some Subway delivered, and for the record, Veggie subs in India taste the same as veggie subs in America; Italian BMT's however, are lacking here, as the meat is of course of a different substance. Nevertheless, that is the highlight of my evening, and a testament to why there hasn't been any blogging.

Exams were fine, though they seemed to drag on and on, thankfully those are done. I am ready to get out of the hostel, as I have grown a little stir crazy by sitting around in it studying and what not, and I am ready to go North for some traveling, as well as looking forward to coming home. I am kind of starved for efficiency, organization, movie theatres, video games, driving my car while singing loudly, and crappy American fast food; such as chicken quesadillas and the McDonald's Dollar menu...I will however, miss the maharaja mac, and you know that I am going to pull up to every McDonald's drive thru attempting to order it, simply to confound the 'angry at life' drive thru worker. I am also sporting the manliest beard ever right now, and will continue to do so upon my return despite any objections; one should look wise and weathered after returning from the far east, and that is how I plan to return.

It has been quite an experience, one with a set of dimensions, though I look forward to coming home, I am glad I was able to come and live here for several months. I do not wish to deliver a synopsis in this blog though, I will reserve that until I have returned. Peace out Hyderabad...the next blog will be state side.
