Pre Departure

The plan: Go to Nepal for a semester.

I will take a class about the history of Nepal, do an independent research project, and learn the national language, Swahili. Just kidding, it's actually Nepali. I plan to practice it on the locals, including my birth family. I will be staying with a family in Kathmandu who will put me up for most of the semester. This will hopefully expedite the Nepali learning process.

Here is a link to the program description: http://www.sit.edu/studyabroad/ssa_npr.cfm?cp=2013SSP

It is the night before I leave and I just had my last American dinner for a few months at Pete and Anne's: homemade pizza and Eton mess for dessert. Gonna miss all the dairy.

Future posts will hopefully be more interesting.
