Hindi Class Project
So for SASLI, South Asian Summer Language Institute, every class has to make a project for Thursday... I have effectively been saddled with a lot of the work on our project. We are making a movie and I am doing the editing, which I really do enjoy. I'll post the finished project when It's done. It's really turning out well. In other news I'm back on my IRB horse! My friend, a linguistics grad student, Sarah, is helping me with the IRB requirements as she has been through all of this before me. I think we might just be heading towards approval. I was a bit in doubt before. Well, I may be stressed and exhausted but things are looking pretty good right now and Louise, my friend from Denmark, is coming in 10 days!!! Peace!

Summer Update
Hey all!
I'm still trying to get IRB approval. It's proving to be a real pain. I have to get permission from the college in India in order to recruit students there and according to my advisers that could take a while. Summer Hindi classes are going well. I feel as if I am learning a lot and feel a bit more confident in my language abilities. yesterday I had a whole 3 hr conversation in Hindi with just a little English mixed in! I'm starting to get really excited to leave for India. Today we heard about the bombings in Mumbai... It's so sad. I wonder who did it... Luckily for me Banaras is a relatively stabil city, unlike Mumbai, which is torn with political and religious conflict, and not to mention a much larger city. My heart goes out to the families of those who were hurt and those who lost their lives.
