ello everyone,

so i havent written in a while. last week was pretty rough, i didnt do much. i was working 9 am-11 pm most days so i didnt really get to go out. all my stuffs due wednesday so its crunch time. I did go to a pub and to dinner tuesday night, but other than that just been working. i finished the business plan and now im onto the powerpoint which is the easy part. i might be doing a presentation on friday about how to do research, not sure how im gunna pull that one off.

i did a few things, nothin spectacular. saturday night was great though, i got invited to a black tie dinner. i got a custom made suit b/c they are really cheap over here, pin stipes and all. i wore it to the dinner, it was a ridiculous dinner. it was 6 courses, wine at every course, surrounded by millionares kind of thing. very cool, met some pretty interesting people. sunday went on a tour of a botanical garden and learned about trees, not really my thing but we got good food at the end. last week was kind of the 'sacraficial' week that makes all the rest of the weeks fun. ive been workgin hard but just had to work longer hours last week so didnt get a lot of fun time.

today was great though, i went to work and actually got to come home at 1 and work. the power keeps going out at the office b/c the monsoon has been weak so i got to come home and work. india runs on hydro electrcity, the dams run it. so when it doesnt rain enough there isnt enough rain to power everything up. after work i met this go who is the founder of go spors and used to be an olympic swimmer for coffee. it was really cool, kinda lazy and dont feel like writing what we walked about. afterwards went to an indian dinner, i love indian food. hopewfully ill learn how to cook some.

but the main reason im writing is to tell you how crazy my life is going to be starting friday. friday i go to kerala for an indian wedding where i wear a skirt and eat banana leaves. sunday i am meeting the head of for all of india in bombay for a two day lesson on capital markets and stuff. email me for the agenda if you care, ill probably learn more in one day then i have in my whole life. tuesday i meet my parents and beth in dehli for 3 days, then aggra for a day to see the taj, then to jaipur, and then back to bangalore. its all pretty crazy and unreal, i cant wait. the rest of the week should be great have stuff planned for every night. prolly will be wokring at home a lot b.c the power goes out so much and we have a backup generator at the apartment. love you guys, hope everyone is well.

love
matt
