A Changing Perspective

December 9, 2008

We made it back to Visthar last night around 11:30.  It was so strange coming back here.  The last time I was at the Bangalore Airport was on August 30th.  That was the day we first got to India.  I remember being so confused about everything.  The driver was on the wrong side of the bus and we were driving down the wrong side of the road.  I was so curious about everything that was going on outside of the window and I wondered how I was going to learn everything about this country in 4 months.  I had so many questions and no one to direct them to.  I wonder if my mouth was hanging wide open the entire way to Visthar the first time.  This time the drive was different.  I found myself smiling about everything around me.  I smiled because I felt a huge sense of pride in myself.  India has been hard but I have finally figured out a few things.  I still get surprised by some of the situations I end up in but now I feel like I can actually face them.  I still have a lot left to do in India but I think that I will be able to face this challenging week head on.  I didn’t make it this far just to give up.  I have an awesome final project to do and I think that will be more fun than work anyway.  I’ve got to get back to work.
