Leaving Berkeley


I just left Berkeley last night for what might be for the next 3 years. I have alot of traveling coming up in my future. Currently I am making my way back to India (Currently on a 14 hour layover in Chicago) to work with Haath Mein Sehat for 8 weeks in Mumbai. I am so excited to return to Mumbai for my 3rd time. I know the city know and know how to get around and even have a great group of friends in the city.
It was really emotional and intense leaving Berkeley- I have lived there for a quick 2 years while I was finishing up my requirements for the Bachelors in Anthropology and Global Poverty. My family was in town for my graduation which was awesome and I had to quickly wind up packing my bags and moving out of my apartment... My homebase is now Cleveland, Ohio again! It is tripping my mind out to think that if and when I return to San Francisco I will be turning 28.... When did I become an adult all of the sudden?! Do I really want to leave San Fran when life is so good there right now? Too many things going through my head but for one it feels so good to have finished my degree- I have been working on it since 2004 and now I've dont what I needed. The world is now mine.
It will be a great summer in Mumbai and then I will be heading back to Ohio for my sister's wedding before I again hit the traveling path for a 4 month trip through South America. Life is good. So good.
