Arrival of the final roomie and starting classes

  Okay so I haven't posted in a while but life here is so hectic. So last week Victorija (from Lithuania) arrived...finally! We're now a full room and the difference that just ne person makes to a room is huge, totally not what I expected. But it's so much better being in a room with 3 as the duties are shared. But, not only that, you have a third sister, plus the bunk bed felt empty without her! So she arrived late at night Sundos, Thato and I stayed up for her. Thato and I thought it would be a better introduction if we were wearing onesies! So when Elvis brought Victorija to our floor we probably gave her the shock of her life by running, screaming and shouting at her and towards her! We wanted her to feel instantly at home so I made her bed and made a little welcome home sign. Last night we hsd our first roomies night. Me and Thato cooked Tuna pasta and we sat (in the traditional Omanie way) on the floor and ate!

Okay so the other news is...I've started IB classes...dun dun dun!! But so far they're not too bad (I will definitely regret saying that!) But my subject package (at the moment) is Higher Level Biology, Chemistry and English Language/Literature and then Standard Level Maths, History and Spanish ab. The size of the text books surprised me the most, the teachers even advise not to bring them to class even from the boarding house as they are too heavy. So school life in general is going really well at the moment. I'm now starting my CAS activites, for my creativity I'm part of the gender commission, for my action I'm doing African dance which is so much fun even though I'm really bad and for my service (you have to do in college and out of college), I'm doing service learning ambassador for year 8 and my out of college service is yet to be decided.  So my plans for autumn break are still up in the air at the moment but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

With the people and the UWC  I'm loving every minute! The people here are all so lovely and so interesting in different ways. My roommates are awesome! I'm very very close to Thato and she's now like a sister which is crazy because I've only known her a couple of weeks but the socialising here is so intense, you are constantly surrounded by people which is a totally new concept for me. My bath mates are also crazy! But, I love them. One of my other really close friends, Maria, is my bath mate. My floor is the perfect floor for me, we're like a little family within the boarders (even though we don't always keep our kitchen clean).

That's all I have time for as I have chemistry homework,
Selina
