Indian Thoughts

Some random thoughts from the last few days:

  • If the theatre department here has a motto/mission statement, it is probably "Hey, let's see how much of this American girl's time we can waste?!"
  • Classroom debates here get so much more heated so much quicker than in the US. People were legit shouting other people down during my English class.
  • Who knew IPA would come in handy? But it has been, with learning Hindi. It makes understanding a phonetic language with a whole different alphabet a lot easier. Also having fun writing my friends' names in Hindi script ^.^
  • WHY IS IT SO HOT? Edit: Thank god it just started raining. Maybe it will not be so terribly heat-wavey.
  • Who knew rickshaws could get pulled over? The one I was riding in did.
  • Kathak dance is fun, but hurts my feet, because apparently a key task in it is "Slam your feet on the ground as hard as possible." Also, my ability to zone out and completely mess up a very simple step is rather remarkable.
  • Sitar is hard... there was no part of my body that did not hurt after my first hour long lesson. But I'm pretty sure I looked bad-ass playing.

See, Badass. Yeah, look at me playing that one scale I know. looking grungy with my glasses.

From what I can tell, your FB photos are uploading, right?
So do what I do: don't bother with Blogger's uploading.
Right click on the photos from FB that you also want to put on your blog and select "Copy image URL."
When you edit your post, use the "Edit HTML" (not Rich Text) and enter this simple HTML code: <*center*><*img src*="URL"><*/center*>.
Remove the astricks and place the URL where it says so to put a photo in!
Let me know if you have more questions are resizing the images, etc.
:]
