I cannot believe that a week from today I will be in India (more or less when you add all the time zones) Unfortunately I have another day of finals and a ton of packing to do, so I can't write all whole novel today. So you guys are getting a picture! I love picture books! (I wish they made text books like that...)
I just finished watching What Not to Wear on TLC and am kind of amazed at what different cultures considered appropriate style! This is a salwar on loan to me for my trip from one of the profs. I babysit for. Thanks Anne! It is more everyday wear then a sari. I will be wearing this when I visit the villages, otherwise I can wear jeans with modest tops (meaning covers my behind). The top is called a kamzee and the scarf is a necessity for modesty. I consider myself a pretty modest dresser but finding shirts that come to mid thigh has been a bit of a challenge. Not so with this! Each province has their own patterns of material. Some sew little mirrors on the fabric, and in this province, where it was made, they use block patterns. All in all it is very comfortable. Which is good considering the average is 100+ degrees! Putting it on makes me want to go all the more but alas studying calls my name.... (by the way I republished my first post below for those of you who are new! Enjoy!)

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." ~Ephesians 5:1-2
Love you, roomie! You are going to have a wonderful time. :) You look pretty darn beautiful in that new outfit of yours. Can't wait to hear all about the things God does in your life during your trip. :)
