Last day in Mysore! Off to Hyderabad

     So the terrible week of exams is over. It was a good wake up call to remind all of us that even though we are doing this amazing trip it is apart of school.I studied my butt off and we will see how it turns out :) I think in spite of this, most of us have the mindset that this isn't simply school it is an experince and all though doing well in our classes is important it is not the ost important thing. We all finished Friday afternoon and went out one last time in Mysore. A large group of us including the two professors went to a rooftop restaurant that overlooks the restaurant that we have frequented while we have been here. Today I plan on simply doing a few errands like geting to a bank and I wanted to get a blog post in because I knew that internet will be unreliable when we are on the road again. I promise I will try and get some Hampi pictures up, I just need to get to a computer that can read my memory stick. We leave today at 3pm to head to Bangalore, where we have a few hour layover inbetween trains, and then we will jump on n overnight train to Hyderabad. We are staying in Hyderabad for a couple days where we will be visiting a few NGOs inclusing ICRISAT. Other than that there is not much to report. I have told my parents that I may be travelling for a bit after this India semester. Past the initial shock they were supportive and I will start looking into that. I believe that if I do travel afterwards I will go to Nepal with a few people from the trip. It won't be for very long as I do miss home, but I am thinking that I should take advantage of being over here while I can because who knows when or if I will ever be back. I will try and kep in touch while we are on the road. Hope everyone is doing well and I will talk to you soon :)
