Mr. SAS-ailcious

**So after the Olympics my Criminal Law teacher decides it’s the MOST IDEAL day to take a midterm. Now, this is a voyage of discovery. I have discovered I am NOT good at law. No, no, no. Usually I pick up something and absorb it like a sponge. Causes, faults, intentions, etc etc. WHAT???? After a day of trying to focus, I had MR. SAS at night. Yet another committee and event I was on. We had a pre-port meeting before for India, and I was surprised how many people had showed up early to even that for good seats. The Union was packed. PACKED. It was so exciting to see something unveil itself successfully. The boys had been fundraising beforehand for 5 days to raise money for Students of Service. 11 contestants. 2 MC’S. Dr Brown and a student. They began with introductions that the boys worked on. Then the talent section. You had everything from break dancing, juggling, singing, and really tight ballroom dancing. Then they had personality questions, Ambassador wear, and escorts. Overall the boys raised 3,700 alone, not including the open tables we had during intermission and afterwards. In the end, Qi won. He’s this adorable student from China who is just Qi. Haha… Two really big events back to back. Too bad I had another test the day after. It’s been busy and hectic lately, but it’s only going to get worse.

**Tomorrow we’re porting in Chennai, India. I am going to be in both the North and South. I leave for an intense trip to Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur over the next 3 days or so. I’m going to the Taj Mahal, of course. But even just as exciting- I GET TO RIDE AN ELEPHANT! So stoked for that! Apparently this becomes the leg of the trip where everything begins to hit you. This country is the country of vast differences. We’ll see. I don’t know what to expect, except that there is a lot of shopping and learning to be done. And on a good note, I won MVP for my sea! Along with the ever amazing Grant. Not bad.
