I’ll start by saying I’m not writing this or sharing this because I want to worry anyone or stress anyone out (I’m talking to you, Mom). I’m writing this because I need to. To put it lightly, this has been no cake walk. (Heads Up: I have a song that’ll play when you read the rest of this. Felt it was appropriate.)

Week One: First week of work, first week of Chennai, first week of jet lag, first week of adjustments.

I did it! I made it to India. After nearly 29 hours of travel, I made it half way around the world. Life will definitely be different for the next 7 weeks, but I am so ready for the challenge.
