My last goal, and consequently the one I have sucked ass on, was to gain a basic knowledge of Thai. All in all, I have done absolutely zero study of Thai, mainly because I don’t plan on going to Thailand anymore (more on that later). The other reason is because I have no idea whether or not I want to study “Therevadin Buddhism” in grad school, and hence Thai may not be an appropriate. Hence, I am no longer committed to this goal. Well that’s all I have to say about that.
