June 20 Delhi meeting other students

The group flight came in. After that we sat around in the AC lobby not doing anything constructive, so a group of us went to Palika Bazaar and Connaught Place. Then we came back and ate and spent a long time filling out a form…and three copies of the same India government form. I guess they don’t do copiers here. The other EAP people seemed mixed, like a masala haha. Most are from Berkeley. There are definitely Bohemians who are trying to be different and spiritual...please. There seemed to be a bunch of normal people forming the majority. There were a few hot girls even. Then there was a group of Indians that I have a feeling will be really clique-y, and they act like know-it-alls and like they’re different from us. Study abroad somewhere else! But then there are the annoying white people who try to be Indian, like the white girls with bindis and saris. Not kosh. I’m going to try and be as Indian as I can, but modern college student Indian, which might include jeans and a collared shirt and a TAN. I want to fit in and not be overly conspicuous, even though I look kind of different and don’t speak the language and am NOT Indian. Then we had dinner and watched the World Cup game (Ghana vs US and we somehow suck so much we lost), and went to bed early.
