So, since Pondicherry, we've moved through Madurai, Thekkadi, and now are in Cochin.
We've navigated through my 21st birthday (which was good), the end of our temple touring, and various cultural activities (kathakali dance performance, canoe trips through kerala backwaters, etc).

but five minutes ago, i got a phonecall...
4 girls discovered they have lice.
LICE.

alksdfjsadfalkfd. grossgrossgross. i don't think i have it, but want to have someone double check me when they get back to make sure. but this, of course, means that we need to wash ALL of our clothes in the hotel (which is v.expensive, compared to the dobi back in mysore), all get treated with the shampoos, etc, and make sure that all of our sheets here in the hotel are re-washed and changed.

asldkfjlsdkfjlkdf i do not want to shave my head. wahhhhhhh.

i wasn't itchy before, but now i think i'm paranoid, and can't stop thinking if my head itches or not.

sorry this was so gross.
