Two weeks to take off!

So, as usually, I'm sitting around, re-organizing my Pinterest board on a wonderful Friday night. Don't worry, I also watched Easy A with some friends earlier tonight, so there is no need to be concerned for my social wellbeing. However, now, in my head, I am pretending that I am Emma Stone because I think she is the most hilarious human that has walked the earth. So, Emma Stone, if you are reading this, this is my confession of love for you as well as my confession that I will never be as drop dead funny as you.
As much as I love Emma, I love the fact that I'm going to India even more. (Emma, if you're still reading, I'm sorry. You are certainly a close second.) In two weeks from today, I'll be in India. Like have landed in New Delhi! No matter how much I try, I still cannot wrap my head around this. Two weeks. 14 days. 10 business days. One paper, one book review, 3 journals, and a first draft of a project away from India. I have so much to do and no idea where to start.
PLEASE help my team by praying for us! We are having our second to last prep meeting this Sunday and then we'll be on a plane for 16 hours. As much bonding we've had, nothing can prepare you for a whole day of travel with twenty other individuals.

You guys are the reason why I'm able to go. Seriously, I have been blessed with an amazing group of friends, awesome support from my work and the best family in the world. You are incredible. Yes, you, reading my little post. I think you are phenomenal.
So, now that you know you're phenomenal, go make someone else's day great. Bake cookies for a neighbor. Call an old friend. Write a letter. Actually listen when people are talking to you. Put away your phone at dinner. By making people feel like the special individuals they are, we invest worth and meaning in other's lives- something that is missing in the Other Backwards Caste in India. Love people! People are the coolest!

This is a little jumbled, but I'm just so happy for the astounding support and encouragement in my life and I want everyone to share it! Go forth and love!
