First week at MUWCI

Hey everyone,
So I've been in MUWCI for 5 days now and if I had to describe it in 1 word it would be AWESOME! It's really hard to explain how MUWCI is like. I arrived Sunday in Mumbai and then we took a bus during 7 hours to get at MUWCI. When I got there I found out I was sleeping in wada 2 house 10L. A wada is basically a kind of big building with houses in. In the middle of the wada you have a open place where you can sit down and there's a common room where you can just sit, relax, talk with other people and do you laundry. So after I arrived Sunday I didn't do a lot. At MUWCI you're really "free" so I had nothing to dothe first day and I just checked out the place. MUWCI is so big that at the beginning I got lost a few times but there was always a second year to help my find my way back. So the next days we had a lot to do but don't have any classes yet. We just meet new people and try to learn everything about MUWCI. We had a academic and triveni fair where we just saw all the different courses and CAS-activities you can do. CAS-activities are the activities you do after school in the afternoon. You have to take one on-campus triveni, one off-campus triveni and one student initiative. The first month at MUWCI is a trial period so you can just try all the courses and trivenis and then you can deside which you want to take. The atmosphere at MUWCI is really relax and fun but also busy. We have a lot of things to do but we can do it like we want to so we're really free. That is nice but for some people it can be hard because you have to manage your time on your own. There is also a advisor (who in my case is an English teacher called Douglas). In a group of about 10 people you see your advisor every week to discuss a lot of things and ask things and talk about your problems.. In the advisor group you have basically 1 buddy -but I have 2- that help you aswell. Yesterday there was a buddy bal where you had to go dressed up with your buddy. It was a lot of fun. I can't tell everything because that would be too much but if you have a question just ask and I'll answer it! 
Kisses,
Pauline
