Hi ladies

I haven't been able to post/comment much the past 2 days and I just popped in to say that it may take a little while longer before I am regular on YLF again.

Why? Well, first of all, I am still dealing with my grandfather's death and with tomorrow being the last day we mourn for him (acc to our religion), my feeling of loss has kind of crept up again.
And to top it all off, I have a huge and very important diploma exam on Thursday, one that I have been training to give ever since I started learning French years ago. If it were upto me, I would have given up because it is tough to study under such circumstances. But my grandfather was a strong believer in hard work and academic excellence and so I am pushing mysrlf to do the best that I can. Please wish me luck!

The only silver lining is that my parents will be here in a few days. This is not a good time for them to leave India, but they prebooked this trip ages ago and my grandmom insisted they take it. We will be in Paris for a few days. It is only after all this that I may be able to be as regular here as I used to be.

I will still drop on when I can and. I am reading all your posts, especially the nature challenge ones! You all really make my day
