January 3

…Yeah so remember how I said I would be better for tomorrow after resting? I was absolutely wrong. I’m benched today. Or more accurately, restricted to the confines of my hotel room. Just like almost every year, I get sick shortly after the beginning of the New Year, but I didn’t think it would be while I was in India. This is absolutely lame but I’ve apparently got a fever, I’m still coughing up a lung and don’t even get me started on the sniffles.

I can barely get this post together. I’m missing out on things like the Gandhi museum. I’m told that today would be an ideal to stay back and just rest, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it. There might be incredible sound that I’m missing out on, there’s the fact that IT’S THE GANDHI MUSEUM and then there’s my severe fear that I’m going to miss out on bonding with the rest of the group. I know I swore to myself after the nonsense drama I had put up with in 2012 during the best worst trip that was the Paris Barcelona trip with Molloy that I’d never let myself get caught up in that stuff again and allow myself to just truly take everything in. But here I am.

I’m just itching to at least be slightly productive, but I’m typing this one up from my phone in the blanket cocoon I’m currently located in. I’ve got a pretty cool microphone and headphones and I just really want to finally get started on the first part of these podcasts but I can’t. This wifi is also terrible and I can’t even work on half the things I want to and upload them on time (God knows when I’ll get decent wifi to actually post this honestly…)

Being sick sucks, I hope the cough medicine works. I just want to be at least functional tomorrow. If not, it’s time to be stubborn as hell because there’s no way I’m going to miss out on seeing the Taj Mahal. That’s a wonder of the world for goodness’ sake. Time to sweat it out. Til next time ~KA
