I would like to write an essay about how much my life has changed in the last month, but will put it in bullet points. A fair warning - some of the points are going to sound whiny!
1) I have roommates! They are fantastic (thankfully!) but I have never, ever shared space with someone apart from Gyp! And they are VERY different from Gypsy!
2) I am now a night person! I was ALWAYS a morning person and couldn't really stay awake past 10pm, but now, even if I can, I can't sleep before 12am!
3) I now speak in Hindi. Well, sometimes. Unconsciously. It didn't happen before!
4) I make PowerPoint presentations. I can see Excel in my future and I'm strongly considering rebelling!
5) I am living without an animal!!!! Feeding the stray dogs dog biscuits just isn't cutting it! I MISS GYPSY!
6) I do SuryaNamaskar in the mornings!!!! This is AWESOME because I can feel my stamina getting stronger! Whoopee! And I can do other asanas easily now!
7) I have GAINED weight! A good 3 kilograms! I'm REALLY hoping it's muscle mass!
8) There are boys here. After 5 years of girls' school and college, it's a change.
9) I sing. Out loud. And people don't run screaming for the hills!
10) I play basketball!!!
11) I study! Statistics. Never did before. Always skipped those five marks in the Psych practicals!
12) I WEAR FORMALS and manage to look GROWN UP and not awkward. Well, some of the times at least!
13) I attended the Art of Living course and actually liked it! See earlier blogpost for details on that one!
14) I make my bed EVERY morning!
15) I've learned to live without a hair dryer. Yes, I had a love affair with my hair dryer, but I think I'm okay with the fact that we broke up and that it's over.
16) I MISS TELEVISION!!!!! And all my TV shows, especially Australia's Next Top Model! :P
17) I question life. I could honestly do without that though! All it's done is leave me thoroughly confused!
18) I am learning to let people in my personal space, but it is HARD! In the words of Achmed, the dead terrorist, (who I am learning to imitate), "stop touching me!"
19) I drink iced tea at least once a day!
20) One thing that has stayed the same and that has kept me grounded, I still LOATHE the rain!
That's about it. I will update this as life changes and hopefully it won't be too drastic!

Love it! And I LOVE Achmed too! So apparently you got into that master's program, right? I'm really happy for you!
ReplyDeleteAs for questioning life, it was bound to happen. Good luck with it! :)
Great to hear it's been such a great transition. So sad that you don't have an animal to keep you company though. *sniffs* I will have to get myself a cat next year! I have to.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the company that you're keeping that's made you so adaptable! The submission ain't good. Resent. Rebel. Break Free!
