Idon't even know where to begin. everything flies by and it's hard to update. school is goingwell. we finally learned the whole hindi alphabet today. well, ishould say i've SEEn it all, that's not to say i know it all. and the indian history class is great. we have one presentation that we have to do. each of us have a different day. i went today! so i feel so relieved to be done the 3rd day of class. and that's why i'm treating myself to the internet. cuz i'm done with that. it didn't go sowell. i didn't say anything wrong exactly. i spoke about the article.ijust got a bit flustered and it wasn't the greatest. my public speaking skills keep sharply declining. this is no good.

i just got back from a walk down fashion street. well, it's more of like an open air market. but more of like a little maze, with walls about one foot wide. there are so many vendors allsmooshed into this block that youhave to push you way through and ignore all the "madame, madame. what up madame. look at this shirt. watches watches. you like?" and sift through the stalls until youcome tosomething youlike.likethese cute little red dress shoes that ifound. and then youhaggle down the price. foreigners of course have to over-pay every time. but by the end of 3 months i thinki'll get a little better at haggling. also the good thing is that all the shoes fit my little petit feet! it's so great!
