I definitely have that feeling now of having one foot out the door, but I am happy to say that this feeling is making me look around more. I am trying almost as hard as I did in my first days here to take it all in. I am trying to feel settled before I leave on Monday. I suppose so that it will feel right to come back in two months. I have been able to make two really great contacts. And just yesterday I almost ran off into the North of Gujarat with two activists in order to accompany some migrant workers headed from Rajasthan to Gujarat to work in Bt cotton seed pollination fields, but alas, I don't yet have research permission, and I can likely catch them on the way back in October. Also, I am still in school! I have homework to do and tests to take! I'm hoping I won't regret not taking this opportunity.
Last night, after a meeting with the aforementioned activists, we had a lovely dinner in a little restaurant that is set up to look like a village. It might sound ridiculous but it is very well done, the food is delicious and there is a vessel museum that is absolutely fantastic. All of our teachers came and brought their families. The three of us students that are still here gave speeches, it was very sweet.
