Brief but Busy.

Why herrrrrro.

On Saturday night, ChloƩ, Gabi, Ilisha and I had a Bollywood night. Eccentric.

We ate Dhal and spiced potatoes made by Ilisha after an Insanity session we forced her to. Then we watched a Bollywood movie called Dotsana, which I really enjoyed for the first 2 hours - but after Ilisha had to go back for check-in I gave up on. It's funny, before sitting down to watch it I had never even considered that they would be speaking in Hindi, or that it was so long it would requite an 'Intermission' sigh to go up. Ilisha also painted beautiful henna on our hands [picture to go up soon]. We were very spolied.

In Newsflash today [my new activity], Arjun from New Delhi in India spoke about the upheaval that his home has been in since the December 16th rape. He spoke about joining the peitions for the nights holding candles, but before the rocks started to be thrown and basically informed us [well I hope I wasn't the only one with no idea of the atrocity].

For lunch today I went to the Blue Garden with one of the most genuine, kindest of our First Years- Antonia. We ate tuna on rye bread and then she took a photo of me with the castle in the background for my yearbook picture. It's pretty standard, but good enough :)

Life is pretty busy here with work [shocker]. I'm balancing working on my Maths Project which involves statistics and noting the correlation between Huricane category and damage cost [my choosen topic], my final Literature in Translation Essay, History revision for a factual knowledge test on the Russian Revolution, and various past papers from teachers.

Just over 2 weeks to Mocks and the idea of revision really can't even be contemplated yet... it is not going to be pretty.

Upcoming events:
Ruyi's 19th birthday on Thursday!
MUN on Friday!
Yearbook Slips due on Sunday!
Caribbean Bonding on Saturday!
Ice Skating next Friday!

Lots of Love,
Pictures and Updates soon!
