"you'll either be bored out of your mind or age twelve years in five weeks"

I got accepted to teach English/Social Studies/ HIV prevention at a monestary in Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh (http://www.himachalonline.com/kinnaur/ ). I am so torn. On one hand, it's the experience of a lifetime and I feel like I will regret not going. On the other hand, no one in the monestary or village speaks english. At the very least I would be there for four weeks. It's in the middle of a frozen desert (literally) and at least three hours away to any sort of internet (aka contact with anyone I give a shit about). I would have no one to talk to, only work for an hour or two a day doing something I know nothing about, be eating monk's food, and be utterly alone and God knows I don't do well in isolation...
If you have any sort of opinion or whatever, tell meeeee cause I don't know what to do!
kalei.talwar@gmail.com or facebook me or whatever with your opinionin the meantime...
