Just around the time I have forgotten how wonderfully perfect the universe works, it always reminds me. Here I’ve been trying to learn Hindi and feeling frustrated because I don’t have anyone to speak to for practice, and BAM! I decided to stay in during lunch after CPR class today and when I walked back into the room, there was a lovely little old lady clad in brilliant orange playing a Rosetta Stone articulating Hindi words. Talk about awesome.
