[I wasn't sure if this should be KLBC or not. But thanks for correcting me.]

jImejpu'pa' "transitive" 'oHchu' <<pong>> 'e' ghoHlu'pu'. jIlughbejbe'pu'.
[Before I had left it was debated whether pong was transitive. I was
uncertain.]

jIDogh. vIlIj.
[Silly me. I forgot.]

[I meant to say something like "electrical engineing." But, you're right,
"I'm studying to be an electrical engineer; I'm also studying German" would
be the most correct.]

Qu'vatlh! jIghItlhHa'. <<buy'bej lupmeywIj>> vIHechbej. chaq <<buy'bej

[Darn, typo. I meant to say "My seconds are full." Perhaps I ought to have
said "My seconds are as packed as a greedy Ferengi's cargo ship." Or I could
have said "I feel like one man fighting many devils."]
