Just a quick note: Sadly I will not be able to post every day. I won't have internet sometimes, or time, or nothing interesting will have happened! So for those of you disappointed by this (cough:mom:cough) I am sorry I set your standards so high in the beginning.

Anyhoo, nothing terribly interesting has happened. We visited a few local universities, but I won't be taking any classes there. It's too much of a hassle to get the credits to transfer. I'm getting to know the people in the program better, which is nice. We have a great group of people here.

Mostly I've just been going to the center to hear professors explain what they're classes are about, and coming home and eating. So. Much. Eating. Auntie keeps us veryyy well fed :)

Right now I am studying Hindi and figuring out the classes I will take this semester.

I hope all is well at home!

  1. Glad to hear things are still going well and looking forward to seeing/hearing about the language--it is so very different, I'm wondering how difficult it is to learn.

    1. It's super hard!! I like to think I'm pretty good at picking up languages but learning an entirely new alphabet is really messing me up. Once I learn the script, I can translate into words, which I then have to know the english translation for. It is not easy.

  3. Curious readers would like to know if your schedule will include Mon thru Fri classes, and are you learning the language on the side, or as a class? Glad to see things continue well. Aunt S
