The Packers are in the Super Bowl tomorrow. I'm really nervous, but also extremely excited. The last time they went was 1998. And it's vindication of my claims all season that they are better than their record indicated (they never lost by more than 4, and the sum of their loss margins across 6 games was smaller than the margin in one of the Bears' epic flops!) The only down side is that I wish I had Packers fans to watch with...being in Chicago makes this tough, so I'll most likely end up in a bar.
I went to an Indian wedding and spent most of January in Mumbai. It was fantastic, both the wedding and the rest of the time, which I spent working and socializing. I missed my friends in the US, but everyone in India has been so warm to me that I started feeling comfortable there quickly. And honestly, I don't see my American friends nearly enough when I am here...something about being adults and working and having babies and weddings -- we are all busy, so I have a pretty quiet solo existence. Being in India always makes me think about my roots, where I come from and how I've become who I am...because it's such a different place and requires a pretty different set of skills to operate in. I'll probably write more about that when I'm in a little more reflective and less excited mood.
After such an exciting January, I'm eager for the rest of the year because I'll get to see my friend Kris get married (and all of the fun that precedes the event) and plan for my next big international adventure -- I'll be in Mumbai May through September, and I'm basically freaking out with happiness and anxiousness about it. I'll probably talk more about it in the weeks and months to come, but for right now I'm just kind of overwhelmed...in a good way. :)
I have no idea what happens in October and beyond...but I'm okay with that. One thing at a time...
