Oops, it's been nearly a month again. I fail as a blogger. Actually, I am just sparing others the boring details at the moment. I am still working at Second Cup, and am contemplating what I will do next in life. Korea is definitely the plan right now. I'll get that sorted out at some point in the very near future. I also found a wonderful Master's program at the University of London that would let me combine South Asian Studies with Film Studies - I could do a Master's degree in Bollywood! Amazing. It also lets you include a language course in your program, so I could take proper Hindi classes. It's pretty much my dream program. Unfortunately international tuition is going to cost me about 25,000$ per year, so it'll be a few years of saving in Korea before this is possible.
Unrelated, in random scary news this week - a bunch of bombs went off in Jaipur, supposedly in touristy areas, too.
Bomb attacks in Indian city kill at least 50, injure 150
This is very sad, but also really weird to imagine because Micah and I spent a few days in Jaipur in February. Only 3 months ago. All the memories are still very vivid. It is hard to think of it as a place where something like that can happen.
However, in better news... I am going to see the Unforgettable Tour in Toronto in July! This is basically a grand coming-together of Bollywood stars on stage, where they all dance and lip-synch to songs from their films. Shikha managed to get us 2nd row seats, and I am practically peeing my pants with excitement. Amitabh Bachchan (my co-star) will even be there! Maybe he'll remember me and wave, since I'll be so close to the stage. (Let me live with my delusions, please.) The following video gives you an idea of what this thing is:
Could it be ANY better? No it could not.
And finally, on a completely different note, my Dad got married two weekends ago! It was a nice little ceremony with a sweet after-party, at which I took full advantage of the "open bar" thing. I'm such a binge drinker. And what's a binge drinker without a social life? Just a big loser, that's what. I need to get out more, is what I am saying. I have become a hermit (albeit a productive one) since I've been back.
Oh well, I'll attempt a social life in Korea.
