Wonderfulness!

Hello! Today I write to you from a luxurious AIR CONDITIONED room!!! Yay! We finally got put into an air conditioned room at the hostel. Well, I say finally but really we only asked about it a few days ago. We kept thinking that we could stand the heat, but after our 4th night of no sleep I told Kevin that we had to do something about it. He is more able to sleep in the heat, but it is a restless sleep. If I slept at all, it was for about a half hour at a time. Even thinking about it makes my head hurt.

So last night was our first night in the new room and it was so so nice. I still had a little trouble sleeping, but it was not because it was too hot at least! I think I will do just fine here. I also will be able to move around during the day and be more productive cause I won't be "melting". I am sure that our old room was around 95 degrees at night. CRAZY. It really made me feel for all the people here who live without electricity or air conditioning year round. I couldn't do it.

In just a few minutes I am going to meet Sheba at the tailors here on campus. We went shopping in the market Saturday and I bought a fabric set for a salwar kameez. I had originally decided not to buy one since we are leaving in 2 weeks, but she really wanted to take me and I really did want one. I promised myself I would wear it when we host some parties or something. Especially our "show off India" party that we will have in Kansas when we get back. So I bought a whole suit with embroidery stitching for 700 rupees, about 14 dollars. Then you take it to a tailor and they measure you and have it ready for you in about 3 days! She is meeting me there this morning so she can tell the tailor The style that I want. I am excited about it. I really wish that I had done it sooner though!

Shopping with Sheba was fun, and I liked the experience of going to the market. I am glad that I got that experience in before we left.

After shopping with Sheba on Saturday, we met up with Kevin and Sundar and the rest of the family, Sam, Stephen, and Srishti at a nice restaurant that evening. We ordered so many good dishes that I had never tried, none of them spicy though. Kevin ate some but got dizzy and felt weird and couldn't eat anymore. The spell passed in about 30 minutes but he was disappointed that he didn't get to eat more of the good food. I don't know what is going on with him, he has been having these weird dizzy spells every once in a while for the past month or so. But every time they are a little different and it is usually when he eats after not eating for a long time. I really hope that it is nothing serious. We are pretty sure it has to do with how his neck and back are out of whack and he really needs a chiropractor. We are praying that he will not get worse while we are here and can get "fixed" as soon as we get back. So strange.

So for me, all except Kevins weird spell, Saturday was a really fun and different day.
