Phases

When I look back at my blog posts, I realize that I went through a few phases this summer.

The first week or so of posts, I was in what I’d like to call the “honeymoon phase”. Reading those posts, it’s as if India could do no wrong. The dirty streets had character, all of the food was exquisite, and the heat was a welcome change from CoMo’s miserable weather.

After that honeymoon period, though, I went into a “settle-into-routine phase” where I went to work, ate at various hotels, watched movies, and occasionally battled the rogue monkey or bug.

Now, I think I’m in the “FINAL COUNTDOWN phase”. These past couple of weeks, everything I do has turned into a countdown until my flight home.

T-minus 1 workday and 1 weekend until I leave.

Don’t get me wrong – I'm really not homesick. But I think I might be slightly America-sick; I’m ready to get back to the fast internet and steady hot water supply (and readily available processed, hormone-filled dairy products!)

But it’s hard to believe how quickly this summer has gone by.
