so i moved into my home stay today, i live in a house with four families that are all related, and betsy and i share this beautiful big room, i'll send pics when i figure it all out. we are walking around jaipur trying to get our bearings, some bottled water, and sunscreen. we just popped in an internet cafe for a minute. tomorrow i start classes and i'm way excited. i think we are also geting cell phones tomorrow, and my address, so as soon as i can i'll post both. incoming international calls are free, so family get some phone cards and give me a call, just remember when its noon there its 11:30 at night here. so my house is in a quiet part of jaipur across from the central park in jaipur, which is huge, 4 km around. today they were having a rose festival so we walked over and checked out rajasthan's most beautiful flowers. hehe. apparently they have free shows by some of indias famous musicians a lot, and i can just go to the roof of my house and listen. awesome? yes. i love the house because its so open, all the doors and windows. my host dad is a civil lawyer and his wife stays at home. they have a servant, which is very common in india. they have a son and a daughter, the daughter lives around here and is an architect around my age who recently got married. they son works for an IT company in a different part of india. well, i feel like i'm posting a lot, hopefully i can keep it up, and family, i haven't heard from you, let me know you're still out there.

well sarah in response to your question, school is going well! the parties aren't hoppin which sucks and the bars aren't so great cause there is this thing called money that i don't have. i got my sweet i.d. taken from one guy at a bar which really sucks but saves me money cause now i can't go to them til march so i will survive. we are currently in a 3 day weekend so that rocks. but other than that i miss you :( next saturday i am going to champaigne to meet casey and shellie for lunch because they will be in normal il for the cheerleaders regionals so if there is any good places you think we should go let me know cause i wanna try something new. i love you and good luck with your new family!
