Hostel updates!

The number of students in our group has practically doubled overnight! We're up to 8 here in Chennai with 5 more soon to arrive!  With our first class starting Monday, everyone should get here within the next day or so.

In other good news, Megan and I finally got a new room at our hostel! The past two nights we've been crashing in our friends' rooms because we had some pretty massive cockroaches, one of which decided to live under one of our paper-thin mattresses and another seemed to permanently reside on the back of our bathroom door. Delicious. Anyway, we've officially been moved to the second floor, complete with a balcony  for drying laundry.

On a really random side note, one of the things I really enjoy about India (or maybe it's just at our hostel) is the electricity-saving approaches utilized. All of our electrical outlets, for example, have a switch that must be flipped to turn the electricity to the outlets on or off.
