We’ve been back at school for about a month now. The semester is flying by! There hasn’t been anything too exciting happening. It did snow in the fist week or two of school. The kids thought this was great and the quad was a dangerous place with snowballs whizzing past your head. The snow only lasted until mid-afternoon and then it all melted.
I have decided to discontinue my Hindi lessons and begin learning some classical Indian music (that’s more up my alley anyways – I was never any good at learning languages – that’s what I have Megan and Jeanne for). Anyway, I’ve had two “lessons” on sitar with Aloke, our Indian music teacher. It’s pretty cool, but very difficult AND my leg gets tired from balancing the instrument. Right now I am just working on the basics – the major scale. Eventually I will attempt to learn a rag.
This weekend Megan and some other teachers and students went on a big hike. I stayed home and ended up chaperoning a high school CARE trip to Dehradun. It was actually pretty fun. Oh, and Jeanne and I had one of the senior girls cut our hair for us in the afternoon. It was like a show – a bunch of girls gathered around to “watch” first Jeanne and then me get our hair cut.
