Classes, resolutions

I started doing that "Writing Year in Review" meme, but upon review, the amount of writing I did last year is embarrassingly small. I did manage to complete the 'request a drabble' meme a few times. That would make my count look higher, but I hate to include those little pieces with actual stories; I jot them off without a beta or even much thought.

A New Year's Resolution*, then! I'll write something every day**.

Classes started on Tuesday. I'm only taking fifteen hours this quarter (which actually is the typical amount in the quarter system, because my university is crazy and is probably the only school in the world that hasn't switched to semesters), because I've decided that I need to teach myself Hindi and/or Urdu. I'll need to learn them next year anyway, in grad school, so it can't hurt to pick up a little beforehand.

Does anybody speak either language? Can you tell me something besides 'SO, SO HARD', because I've already had native speakers tell me it was hard, so I'm appropriately terrified. Which one should I try first?

*Hey, I can make resolutions five days into the year if I want to. Especially since I usually don't bother with them at all.

**Yeah, that'll happen.
