I didn’t realize my way of approaching my life-schedule was messed up . . . until my life-schedule got messed up.
My whole plan was to go to India to study abroad during my junior year of college. I’d jotted it down (with a permanent marker) on my mental calendar—about four years before the travel date —and fully intended to follow through with it. I admired the Indian students who passed me in class or on the subway. And I was appropriately in love with the idea of trekking through the country, seeing the colorful Hindu prayer flags, and eating naan (traditional flatbread).
