Classes and other exciting things
Just about two days of classes down. I decided to take Kannada, since I don't know how much I'll be studying India after I leave and I'd like to be able to talk to people while I'm here. Some of the words are a bit tricky to pronounce, but the grammar seems simple enough.
The architecture course looks like a nightmare, and unfortunately it's required. The trips will be interesting, but I was struggling to stay awake/understand our professor's accent. I've never found architecture very interesting at all. Hopefully I'll be able to work with a classmate.
Government is very cool. We have two very enthusiastic professors who are easy to understand.
Last night we had dinner at a place called the Hunt Club, which used to be part of the Maharajah's palace. Another tasty meal outside, and I managed not to get devoured by mosquitos this time.
I'm getting a bit annoyed with these computer problems though. My anti-virus protection has expired and the connection here won't let me log into any secure sites. We keep getting told the tech guys are coming soon, but no sign of them yet. I'd like to be able to log into things, buy things, use Skype, use my school email, and other things. This is on top of some other issues as well. I'm not sure why it decided to do this once I was far away from reliable tech support.

It's also possible for architecture to be cool. I've enjoyed it, apart from it's inherent esthetic value, mostly when considered in the context of local/regional history particularly as it relates to government, public life (leisure world?) and of course religion. These disciplines are all very interelated, and when taken together can put architecture in a very interesting context. Look for a way to relate it to things you enjoy.
The professor's accent...fughedaboutit!
You will probably have to resubscribe to norton anti-virus which you can do on line at their website (you already know this). Yes there's a price.
Pizza Hut...how charming!
Come go thru the junk we are with moving and buying and selling houses. I know what a pain computers that don't do what you need them to do can be, but they are just machines, I am having a hard time with humans just being contrary to make my family's life miserable!!!
Lots of love
Aunt Lora
