let the school begin!

Hey everyone,

So since 7 days the school has started in MUWCI. As I already explained in another post, it's a different system here. We work in cycles of seven days so if for example we start with monday = day 1, then teusday=day 2, wednesday= day 3, thursday= day4, friday = day 5 and the next monday is day 6 etc. It's a little bit confusing at the moment because we have to remember which 'day' we are. every day contains 5 blocks. As you can see on the picture below.

 

Every block is a different subject. For example my shedule is:
A-block = free block (so I don't have any class)
B-block = English Literature and Language (Higher Level)
C-block = Philosophy (Higher Level)
D-block = Mathematics (Standard Level)
E-block = Theatre (Higher Level)
F-block = Self taught Dutch (Standard Level)
G-block = Environmentel systems (Standaard Level)
Since we are still in trial period (=one month were we can try all the subjects and activities) these subjects are not fixed yet. The idea is that we choose 7 subjects, one from each category. We can choose between the following subjects:
FIRST LANGUAGE:
- English Literature
- English Literature and Language
- Self Taught from a random language
- English B
- French
- Spanish
- German
SECOND LANGUAGE:
- French
- English
- Spanish
- Hindi
EXACT SCIENCES:
- Environmentel systems (ESS)
- Physics
-Chemistry
- Biology
HUMANITIES:
- Economy
- Psychology
- History
- Philosophy
- World religions
MATHEMATICS:
- Math studies (1 or 2 year course)
- Mathematics (Standard or Higher level)
- Furter Math (Higher level only)
ARTS:
- Theatre
- Visual arts
- Dance
- Film
OR a subject of the other groups (art is not compulsary).

So now I'm trying out a lot of courses to see which one I like the most. After trial period we have to decide, but if we really want to change afterwards we can.
A few days ago there was the first and second year show. These shows are organised by the first and second years. The first one was the first year show. We did a lot of dances, performances and some people sang etc. I performed an ABBA dance with a few other first years. We were dressed up in toga's made of our bedsheets.

 

We had a lot of fun and the second years liked our show. The next day it was the second years show. Their show was really amazing! We didn't have to do anything except dressing up. The theme was "class or swag" I went as class and most of my friends did aswell.

Last saturday I went to Pune. Pune is the city that is 40km from MUWCI. We went to the SGS Mall (a sort of shopping center), but I was kind of dissapointed because it was really European. So next time we will go to the market, which is typical Indian. But we had a lot of fun in Pune and we had the opportunity to buy we we needed. Here are some pictures from our trip to Pune (you can see the stores and the European look)

 

 

I think that's it for this time. MUWCI is very very very busy, so I'm so sorry I don't write a lot! But I'll try to post something at least once a week..

 

kisses,
