So my last days in Lucknow were a stressful combination of waiting in a bureaucratic hell for some paperwork, sweating in the 115 degree weather, trying to figure out how I have so much damn stuff (and how I am going to move it), and too many sad goodbyes. I am excited that I'll be back there at the end of July - I already miss it horribly (and, to be honest, I haven't really resolved the too much stuff issue). Despite the chaotic and stressful last days, I love Lucknow - it had become home in a very special way.
Now, I am with Will and enjoying morning runs along the beach, watching the sunset from his new home's roof, and trying to keep my Urdu up. No adventures, really, but lots of relaxing. So life good.
In other special news, I received a scholarship to go to Tunisia this summer to study beginner Arabic, so it looks like I'll be in Tunis, Tunisia from the end of May until late July. Hooray! I am so excited. I love learning languages and living new places. It should be quite the adventure....
