overease

I have a new strategy for getting myself not to waste time in the morning. Two days a week, at an ungodly early hour, I will be sitting in on a Pali class. What is Pali, you ask? It's the language of the holy texts of Theravada Buddhism, the Buddhist tradition of Thailand (and nearby Southeast Asian countries, as well as Sri Lanka). It's sort of like Sanskrit--in fact, it helps to have taken Sanskrit, which I haven't. I have, however, purchased "Teach Yourself Sanskrit."
What am I getting myself into?
