Briefly

I have a new thesis topic and advisor. New thesis: "The Place of Sacred Space in Constructing Tibetan Identity in Diaspora".

I'm loving my Buddhism classes ("Mandala: Visions of Tantric Buddhism" and "Buddhist Ethics"), except at this point they are all review. I'm trying to wait patiently until we get to the meat.

This past week I finally worked out the kinks and officially registered my independent study "Reading Classical Literary Tibetan" with my thesis advisor.

I'm still intent on returning to Mcleodganj in the spring.
