Somehow i already messed it up. But im determined. I will keep trying. <br />
<br />
Anyway. Im getting ready to leave for India in about 10 days. I have never been to India and I am so excited and scared i can hardly stand it. I know nothing about the country. Seriously. Nothing. One of the people going with us is an Indian friend of mine and when i asked him if i needed to.wear a head covering and cover my face he asked me where I thought I was going? He then informed me that India is not Muslim (duh me!) That it was Hindu. Ummmm. Right? The difference is????? Yea, i know i should know this stuff but hey. Im learning. Hell, when i first moved to London I thought England wss the same size as America. I know, I should have paid more attention in World History. Ok. Lesson learned on both counts. So now i am googling the heck out of India and finding out as much as i can. If there is a counter intelligence agency somewhere monitoring me, please note, Im not stupid or a threat, just American. Southern American at that.<br />
<br />
Not that all southern American people are thick or uninformed I just happen to be all of the above. <br />
<br />
Ok. So Im excited. And Im nervous, and i will keep posting as to how i am dealing with both of those.emotions. <br />
<br />
So. Whats it all about? This week its going to be about education. <br />
<br />
What Im learning about India. <br />
What Im learning about myself. <br />
What Im learning about the difference between the two.Whats it all abouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925872291061197890noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531859212624016117.post-17369911783553017102011-01-23T15:58:00.000-08:002011-01-23T15:58:17.711-08:00And so it beginsOk. Not really sure how this.is.going to work but Im going to give it a shot. If you have a pet peev about grammer and spelling you might want to step away from the blog immediately as i am sure its goibg to be loaded with them. But there a reason. I have a wonderful but horribly busy life so just finding the time to think about doing this has been time consuming. Time i dont usually have. But i have akways wanted to have a blog so here goes. <br />
<br />
I am a southern girl. Born and raised in Dallas Texas and then Atlanta Georgia so I am as southern as it gets really. <br />
<br />
The kicker is I now live in London England and I have to say I feel like I live the most amazing life I could have ever dreamed of. <br />
<br />
So some background. I am one of 5 siblings. They all still live in either Dallas or Atlanta. My parents are still in Dallas but I am trying to rectify that for them right now actually. <br />
<br />
I am next to the youngest and have two brothers and two sisters. My oldest sister (the one still in Dallas) is autistic. The one younger than me is my little brother. <br />
<br />
We are all very close and that is the only bad part i can find about living in London. Besides the weather that is and believe me it is rotten at least 9 months out of the year.<br />
<br />
But can i just say i LOVE living here! I live my dream everyday. Every moment. My mom said that when i was a little girl I use to say i was going to live in England which i have to say was a big joke to my family. NO ONE in my family had EVER lived overseas. At least not out of choice! Yes, my brother wsd onWhats it all abouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925872291061197890noreply@blogger.com0
