Appologies and Explanations

So as I left for my trip this time, I had high aspriations of letting people know what was up with my life in India, oh maybe every week or so. It didn't seem like too much to ask, as we were staying on a college campus, and it wasn't. However, I didn't account for the India factor. It isn't a bad factor, or one that spells certain doom, or anything like that. The India factor just adds time. I am glad I have that, and am sorry that it has taken so long for this to come up, as the experience will now be reflection more than reality. But in the next month it would seem that I will have enough time to update my adventures more regularly. Hope all is well with all my friends and family back in the US, and wherever else in the World they may be. I'll start my actual telling of the story next time.

Away I go

So, I've packed all day, know I'm forgetting stuff, and my house is a mess. I know that at least my rats will be taken care of, I have tickets to get places, and I can survive at least 3 days, so, I've probably done worse. I plan on updating my trip details weekly but here is a synopsis of what I know so far:
1- I'm going to India for 2 Months.
2-The first month I'll be hanging with 8 other Purdue vet students, mostly in Bangalore and other parts of south India.
3-We will have a mixture of pathology and epidemilogy lectures, clinical practice experience, working with a variety of animals from dogs, to lions, to elephants, to water buffalo, to tigers, to goats, to bears (dancing bears to be specific).
Overall, there is a lot of amazing going on. I don't know much about what is in store for us, other than some pretty rustic atmosphere, and knowing you don't use your left hand, or want to take things from people that use theirs for sanitation purposes. But I have all my shots and meds, so excitement is surly on it's way!
See you all in India next!
