Nepali - Namaste ~~~~ Shyam was helpful enough to write down translations for quite a few verbs while he was with me over winter break. I was thinking maybe we could work on conjugations & tenses.

- huhh, this is great! I'll write about conjugation and tenses when i'll back from Nepal ... it'll be in february. Here I can't write to the forum so frequently because the net is a bit slow ... ok, sometimes it's very slow ... :) ... but everything else is WONDERFUL !!! :D

- Thank you! I hope you're having a good time over there in Nepal. I'm looking forward to going there myself sometime. There is a study abroad thing in Nepal @ my college, but they cancled it because of the political situation over there. :( Anyways I'm looking forward to finishing some of these projects with everyone! I've been reading some more about verb conjugations & tenses, so I'm trying to organize it all.

- Hi Guys!

Lassi! How was your trip?

I am finalizing my trip for this summer. I'll be in Nepal June 1 to approximately August 15th. So far, I'll be working with the same group that Lassi went with last year, and then spending part of the time in Kathmandu working at Tilganga and possibly another hospital. I've been trying to find an advisor for a project here in Pittsburgh, and so far have a lead with Infectious Disease track, however, I am very concerned that I have not been able to get a hold of my friend and advisor who moved to Utah, so I am waiting to see what I will actually be doing in terms of project.

I'll let you know how everything gets settled!


Lindsay! Thank you so much for the list!!!!! I will print and study it!
