Music?

Just got this email:

"All students on any UW campus can now get free legal music downloads under an agreement the UW signed recently with Cdigix, a local company. Their "Ctrax" service has over 2 million tracks."

Can we say, Whee?

Sanskrit test today. I think I did... okay? Stumbled over one unrecognizable squiggle, and I realized I didn't know some of the vowel forms as well as I thought I did.

Now we start Sandhi! *cue the echo of wails from Sanskrit students everywhere*

Icarus: "So, the spelling changes according to what sounds adjoin each other. 'What did' in English is really pronounced 'Whad did' and in Sanskrit that change is spelled out, correct?"

Teacher: "Yes."

Icarus: "And words are combined in Sanskrit. So 'What did' becomes 'whaddid'?

Teacher: "Yes."

Icarus: "Wait. This means that we have no way of telling where one word ends and another begins without knowing all these obscure spelling rules."

Teacher gives us her now you're catching on smile: "Welcome to Sanskrit."
