Namaste, Thik Chha, Dhanya Baad

Had a great Nepali lesson and now into full force of my research with the part.

Amazing stuff. The character I play is really fascinating. I read yesterday that he climbed the summit 5 times!! He also died so young @ 33. He would be 51 today if he were still alive.

I've wrapped up two classes already and it was hard not getting emotional as I told the guys I would miss them. I know it's only two months but it's having seen some of the actors learn, grow and evolve ... it's tough ... but we'll all be OK from it ... I can't wait for the party that one of my gang is throwing.

I'm starting to realize that this is a big deal but just going to be a great adventure. I'm just have to get done and moved before I go that's all.

I'm having a packing party this week. It's all worked out nicely ... I don't have to pay rent for a couple of months and my stuff is stored in a safe place.

Rhythm towards the mountain.

Nam myoho renge kyo!
