(no subject)

it's becoming increasingly clear that i am, in fact, going to india.

it was just some kind of funny story, before.

today i got my vaccinations for:
hepatitis a and b
tetanus
polio
typhoid

later today i will put a deposit on my ticket.

on monday i will apply for visas to india and pakistan.

samina has offered to help me arrange the trip to pakistan, and to show me lahore.

yesterday i sent my proposal for an upgrade to a phd to jie.

i want to talk to my mother and father about this whole business. india's big, and i'm little, and i think i need some reassuring, and i need parental figures to tell me that they're proud of me and think i'm all grown up. i shall have to schedule phonecalls.

on a completely different note, here are some thoughts i have caught myself having of late:
* "If I could just get my head around this whole business with the eels..."
* "I want a pink dress!"
* "Sometime in my life, just once, i want to get to say "cutaneous? More like cute-aneous". Oh. that's horrible. why would i think that?"






ohmigod. i'm going to india.

If you really want to. I'll have to work out how much, though. You can pay me when you get the book, I'm in no rush.
