Well, this one will be short and quick - I need to get some good sleep before the long day of flights tomorrow.

I'm in New York now and my flight leaves at 6 pm tomorrow. 

Here is my address for first semester - I won't always be close to where the mail is received, but I should be able to check every now and then.

Micah Stanovsky

World Learning, India / SIT

2, Shree Rampura Colony

Civil Lines

Jaipur, Rajasthan 302006, India

A note: Please don't mail anything unnecessary, especially if it takes up space. I'll be happy enough to get a few e-mails or even letters. Much more than that probably won't be practical for me, since I'll be moving around a lot.

And here is a brief itinerary of what I'll be doing, starting September 1 (This is actually a bit different from what I've described to some of you)...

September 1 - Arrive in Delhi

Sep 2 - Orientation in Delhi

Sep 3-7 - Travel to Jaipur where program orientation continues and homestay begins

Sep 8 - Classes Begin

Sep 22-26 - Excursion to Jaisalmer and Jodhpur

Oct 7-9 - Excursion to Kota and Sawai Madhopur

Oct 17-26 - Some other stuff

Nov 8-Dec 6 - Independent Study Project (I'll try and explain this sometime later)

Dec 10-12 - Independent study presentations

Dec 12-13 - Final banquet, program basically ends

Dec 14  - Group flight back to USA (I don't plan on being on this)

I'm exhausted. I'm really glad I got to see all you Tacoma friends once more before I took off. There were some really hard good-byes, and I'm pretty overwhelmed. 

I sat by a pretty cool pediatrician / global health physician on the flight out here. He was in Seattle advising the Gates foundation about something. He told me a little about the Koran. I was hardly coherent in conversation with him, but must have seemed interested enough, because he kept talking to me.

Already learning,
