T- 15 days

Here are some things I've been meaning to tell you.

I'm going to India.  

I'm going to Dharamsala!!!

That's where I'll start.  And this is where I start to tell you about it.

I'm currently with Chuck in Seattle.  He says: Hi blog!!  Hi world!!

No he doesn't.  What he really says is the following.

Me:  I wanna tell them about the good things.  

Chuck: You need to make your audience feel hated but loved, needed but scorned.  Blogging's hard.  The best blogs I read always make fun of the reader."

I'm not gonna do that to you though.  I'm not a love me or hate me kinda girl.  Just love me.  ;) 

I'm going to India in a few days... going to be a volunteer teaching and tutoring in English and Computer classes.  I don't know what will come of it but I'm hoping for the following: lots and lots of chai (not spiked please!), patience, the Dalai Lama, food like the stuff at Annapurna, hills, a nice little room to call my own for 5 weeks, serenity, good hikes, cheap books, Shantaram, foreign faces, familiar faces, new friends and peace of mind.  

I'm a girl on a mission.
