Chilling. check. Studying. enhhh

Technically I was supposed to be studying for the GRE, but that's taken a backseat for now. Between insanity, messed up sleep cycles, not having a room of my own, and obsessive fear of not living up to my own standards, I was just never in the mood for it.

My new plan is to get back to it eventually, after some healthy fun things.

Of course if you really look at it, I've been having a little too much fun since I've been back from Canada. Fun things I've done since I've been back include:

-5 fun days in the Maldives
-5 fun days in Sri Lanka, immediately after
-2 full days of Delhi sight seeing for the sake of my Bombay friend
-2 day trip to Jaipur for a fairly fun wedding - involving a HEAVENLY bathtub
-Random 2 day trip to Amritsar
-Lots of music practices with Fire Exit
-Hard Rock show with Fire Exit
-Lots of catching up on fiction reading
-Watching Buffy (it wasn't just a phase - my father has officially been proven wrong)
-Countless hours of Facebook stalking, in order to feel caught up with everyone's lives.
-Lots of sporadic Delhi chilling - involving ice cream, puchkas (golgappas), all kinds of drinks, sheesha, hotels, fountains, chai, and most importantly: chappals, which are the ultimate relief after living in Canada for so long.

So how?

Srishti's Gap Year Fund

I have completed an Honors B.A program in Cognitive Science in Canada as of June 2010. Before I start graduate school next September, I am taking a gap year. I call it a gap year because I will not be formally employed or studying, however my main task for this year is to conduct a research study in Developmental Psychology, along with a professor at National University of Singapore. The professor is unable to pay me more than a token amount, but I have chosen to conduct this study with her regardless, as it would be a really great opportunity for me to gain research experience in a subject that I want to study, but didn't major in. Apart from doing the research study at NUS, I will also be volunteering at the Autism Association in Singapore.

My living arrangements are taken care of, and so are my flights, the only thing I need money for is food, transportation and a few other random things. I have about $900 saved up to work towards these costs, but this will not be enough to support myself for the entire term of the project, which is roughly 4-6 months.

There is a donation button below, and if you are able to donate a fixed amount of $5, this will go a long way in supporting the time I will spend there working on research, and volunteering with Autistic children.

Thanks!
