These past two weeks have yet again (thank you 17 essay program) been filled with paper writing and CANDY. Easter chocolate eggs, fruit cake- the good kind, chocolate crosses, jelly beans, gummy bears, candy corn, you name it! Paper writing has meant spending more time in coffee shops where they like to blast American music- the same ten '90s songs over and over, play a Bollywood music video on the TV screen while Akon's "Right Now" plays or pretending to do work in the program center where we relive childhood by singing along to Smash Mouth's "All Star" and eating gummy bears. It also means going home later because you know you're just going to fall asleep as soon as you get in your room so you are walking in the dark, crossing the road at a busier time....
The Cons of Being a Foot Taller Than Your Roommate
- After you are nearly hit by a rickshaw crossing the road and she finally releases the death grip she had on your wrist, she looks up sincerely at you and says, “Sorry. I was using you as a shield.”
- You have to duck every time you walk on the sidewalk underneath the trees while she laughs behind you.
- She automatically appears to be more flexible during yoga class.
- She can cross her legs in an airplane seat while you spend 15 minutes trying to get your legs in from the aisle.
- She is normal height in India while you are just a freakin' giant, even around men.
But I guess she's alright because she made me banana pancakes :-)
