finals

I think that if the SITA staff were to have implanted a secret camera in the computer lab for finals week, I could have become an Indian reality tv show star. Put 6 college kids in a room for 2 days straight and tell them they have to have 20 pages written by the end of it... some ridiculous things were happening. I think we're all lucky that one of us didn't actually lose it. The computers here are comically slow. Yelling at the damned machine doesn't exactly help, but every once in a while, you'll hear someone's frustration and fruitless imploring.  Some got close, but those gofrets (yes, i found imported gofret here!), gummy bears, and 8pm dance breaks pulled us through. 

Now we're in here transcribing our first interviews. I realize now what a blubbering fool I sounded like. Oh well, next time will be better. 

We're leaving for Mysore tonight!
