Update! (....finally.)

Hello again, 

I would like to apologise for not updating in a while, but unfortunately I'm not that sorry. Why? Well, the reason I haven't been able to update is that we have had so much going on, I've not been able to get around to it- and I don't know where time is going.

It seems so strange, after the first week which went by so, so slowly, that now we are half way through Feb and it seems we just got back. 

Second term has so far had its ups and downs, so many little moments, typical life in any international residential school. 

I'll be writing soon about some of the projects we have been working on in school, and myself individually, but for now here's a quick sum-up of MUWCI-2014 so far:

First week back, we dived straight back into classes, handing in the homework we definitely all did over the holiday (but oops! seems we forgot it back home... well, what else is new), and generally getting back into the rhythm of MUWCI life. This, of course, resulted in most of us looking like zombies for the first couple of weeks, as on top of the usual, already hectic schedule, we had to catch up with each other, share our stories from around the world.... and what better way to do so than on the roof at 3:30 AM on a Tuesday night?

Anyhow, in weeks that followed up until now, things have been falling into place. Days are getting warmer, pretty sure nights are getting colder, although what I consider 'cold' has become drastically warmer since leaving Europe for this place.
Although, it was pretty nice to celebrate Valentines Day in 30 degree sunshine, instead of the usual depressing rain, with everyone sending flowers to each other, to raise money for people in the community who may need it.

UWCGB applicants will soon be finding out if and where they will be attending UWC, which I know I'm really excited for. A year ago, that was me. It's so scary it's been a whole year.

As I said, prepare for updates soon about specific stuff that's been happening. For now, I'll leave you with these pictures (people back home- hope you're enjoying February rain and cold.)

February? Really?

Student house. And a bamboo table. And two trees.

...and a picture of a typical student's corner
(one of the rare occasions where mine is actually kind of tidy...)

Social Centre- pool, gym, coffee shop, etc.

Valentine's day flowers

One of the best chilling spots on campus- outside the arts centre

Thanks for reading, more coming very soon :)

Hugs,
