An Indian Wedding

Well, my friend Shreya has finally sorta nailed down the date - of course it is going to be tight and hard to work in but I will do my best. She is thinking either the week of Thanksgiving or after Dec. 5th - which is when I stop teaching. So I am not sure what to hope for on the one hand if it was Thanksgiving week then I would leave the 20th and come back the 2nd - realizing that I lose a day both ways and will be traveling for over 27 hours! So then I would get to finish up teaching on the 3rd and the 5th after taking the 1st and 21st off - I am certain my students will not mind. OR I can finsih teaching on the 5th and give my final and then pack up all my junk in a Penske truck, drive to Texas, unpack it and then fly to India in about a three day period of time - somehow that sounds impossible to me. OR she could do it a little later and I will still pack up my junk, drive as quickly as possible to Texas and then move in and fly to India for 2 weeks - which probably means that I will miss Christmas and all that I love about that. SO what do you think - what should I hope, pray and try and persaude Shreya to do?

On a fun note - an old friend had her baby this week. They thought they were having baby boy #2 and when SHE came out they were very surprised! That was yesterday - still no name they are trying to figure out what to do. I had never actually meet anyone that had that happen to them before - I guess she will just have to enjoy cars, planes and trains in her nursery!
