Namaste

Finished our third day of language class this morning. I think that our lives will be defined by school for the next few weeks. Yesterday I had four hours of writing homework and then had to study vocabulary for my quiz this morning. The quiz was pretty easy though, I just had to know some genders, how to write some thins in Hindi script and some easy translations. Actually I would be Ok with our class moving a bit faster and not spending as much time in review.

I'm thinking of going on a two day trip to the Ganges this weekend. I forget what the spot is called but apparently there is a huge temple there where they have a ceremony every night that involves floating a bunch of fires down the river. I'll probably have some pictures if I wind up going.

Matt: Perhaps you didn't read all the posts and therefor missed my comment on the monkeys, so I'll say it again. Monkeys are vicious, violent and evil little vermin. They feast on trash and the fear of others. Yesterday I heard a pounding on the tin roof of my room and when I looked out of the window there was a monkey squatting on my roof pounding it with both fists. When I rapped on the door to make him stop, two monkeys jumped on the steps up to my room, one rushed the door and they all started howling at me. There was a wall between me and them and I still feared for my life. I will say it again: Monkeys are not cute. They are honorable tiny deformed ninja that want your soul.

Ok... I'm glad I cleared that up.

Until next time,
Be excellent to one another.
