Day One

With no instructions from either our KU contact or the school here in
Vellore we stumbled our way through a morning of filling out forms,
taking passport photos for ID's, and waiting the appropriate amount of
time inbetween each activity that has been explained to me as... "it's
India." Tonight i'm headed to the welcome party for new international
students and then maybe watching a little bit of the superbowl that
someone has recorded... although it's been tough trying to avoid finding
out what the outcome was ;-> So today has been pretty relaxed. After
lunch I've been reading The Gift of Pain which has been a great read
right now, especially since the surgeon in the book actually worked here
in Vellore and describes his experiences here. It's starting to get hot
now, today was a good taste. Luckily this area is somewhat arid, so the
heat isn't quite as suffocating as it could be.
