Am I A Morning Person Now?

Hi my name is James Faillettaz, as some of you know already. Before leaving for Global Semester I was the type of person that had a hard time waking up before 8 and cherished minutes of sleep, this has changed. Today was yet another early start to my morning, and yet another small step to concept that has always been so distant, that of the "morning person." Loading up the bus at 6:45 to find that it had been decorated for a special occasion, our second birthday of the trip! It is Clare Nelsons 21st birthday today (Happy Birthday Clare). From the hotel, we made the short trip to Quo Vadis to have our last breakfast in Tiruvannamalai. We said our goodbyes, loaded up the bus and started the all-day trip back to Chennai. The first leg was three hours of singing, reading, talking, and napping before reaching the town of  Kanchipuram. Here we took a short tour of a temple, were fortunate enough to get a tour of a house/ sari making workshop and had a wonderful lunch at  Saravana Bhavan. As one can imagine after a large lunch, the last stretch of the bus ride was spent in silence while most people napped. We arrived back to ICSA at about 4:30. We hurried up to our home base room (the room with WiFi) to work on registration in the few hours we had left before it closed. Spending the rest of the evening, working on registration, packing, and resting before dinner. The night ended in a room decorated to the best of our ability for Clare's birthday watching Pirates of the Caribbean.
