Yikes, sorry I haven't written in so long! To spare all the unimportant details, I'll just lump the last few days together and give the highlights.
This week at work we definitely started working a little more independently. Maria and I have spent the week meeting with Professor Moledina and Lily, reading a ton of articles about social media, and compiling the best findings into a draft social media strategy- its more like a few general pointers that we've compiled, but its a start! We actually worked from home on Wednesday because none of our supervisors were going to be in the office, so that was definitely a nice break from the lovely Bangalore public transit system.
Anyway, outside of work we also had a fun week- one of our supervisors is getting married on Monday, and she invited Amanda, Yoshi, Maria and I! Oh my goodness- an Indian wedding. :) However... I had nothing appropriate to wear. So, in typical stressed-out-crazy-me style, I drug Kristen and Amanda sari shopping with me Thursday after work hoping that I could get something fitted by Sunday (Amanda and Maria are borrowing saris of Laura's). Yoshi and Maria came as well so Yoshi could find some appropriate men's clothing, too. In the second shop that Kristen and I went into, they started pulling out beautiful sari fabric, and it didn't take me too long to pick a bright pink and purple pattern with gold on the edges. Sooo pretty. And they promised that I can pick it up Sunday at 2pm, so hopefully that will actually happen! And Kristen also decided she wanted to get a sari, and she picked out a gorgeous blue and gold fabric. After we came back from shopping, Amanda, Maria and Yoshi all tried on their respective Indian clothing selections- I think we are all going to have a lot of fun trying to tie saris on Monday morning- oh boy. But we are all pretty darn excited, I'll be sure to post lots of pictures!
The other fun news, besides saris and Indian weddings, is that today after work Amanda and I went and got our noses pierced! She got a hoop and I got a stud- and the best part- it was less than $2 for the piercing and jewelry. Happy day. It was quite the process: we walked into the tiny shop in an alley, chose our jewelry, sat on a stool while the guy sharpened the jewelry with a knife against his table, he drew a dot on our noses, and then just stabbed the jewelry through our noses and bent the ends so it wouldn't fall out. And it was over! It really didn't hurt at all and it was quite a fun little experience. :)
And now we are all headed off for our four day weekend- I'll let you know how the weekend and the wedding are!!
