Okay, I'm exaggerating again.
I had two major fears about coming to India and they may seem trivial because they kind of are. Those fears were of paralyzing heat and bugs. Part of the reason these were my topmost fears is that I didn't think there was much I could to do about them and I can't see getting anything in return for coping with them. Running away to another country without a job or anything? Scary, or wildly irresponsible, but I get to live in India! Witnessing incredible poverty, animals that aren't cared for and whathaveyou? Hard, but character building, right? Plus sometimes I get to help and that is awesome.
So I was scared of bugs and heat. The heat has turned out to be bearable. It affects my activities, but I'm not dying or anything. I don't think I've even seen a cockroach. If I am particularly brutalized by mosquitoes in a short period of time, I do go a little whacko. That's mostly unfortunate for Boaz. The spiders are especially scary because they all jump, but there aren't a lot of them.
There weren't a lot of them.
