I know I haven't posted in a while, but winter break came along. It was so weird being back home... It was cold, cloudy and nobody spoke to me on the train... felt like I hadn't been away really. I stayed over with my dad in london and saw my brother's flat (he's at SOAS) located right next to a corner store selling very cheap alcohol... which i'm sure makes more money than all ASDAs combined.
It's been a crazy semester so far... it's funny how going to bed late used to be about 12:30 back home.. and now if I get to bed before 1 people question why I have so much time on my hands. So what's happened since I got back? Well just quickly before I get onto the main points of this blog, we've had quite a few visitors. First was during annual conference where alum and other people came to give workshops, I went to a workshop on anti racism and non violence and a workshop centered around the concept of love. Both were given by alums and listening to their stories of this place was amazing. Then we had something called alumni connect, with even more alums coming it was really cool to see what they had ended up doing. Then we had the MAAD cultural day show which stands for Middle east, Asia and Australia (and new zealand) Day, this was, not surprisingly the largest cultural day because its such a massive region. Also, for the campus care group i'm in, stage management, the first years were running tech. Luckily we didn't burn anything down... During that week also there was some problems at school after which sanctions were placed on students (i'd be happy to go into more detail privately). Then was project week, which i'll take up a whole blog post to explain and that brings me to today, where i've just got in from going out for a meal with my roomie and other friend; an interesting experience where our waitress didn't understand my british accent!
A short blog I know but everything that's happened since the start of second semester is a blur... 2 months left... well I guess i'd better go make the most of it!
