It happens really rarely that you love a place so much, but it, at the same time, makes you freak out completely.
I was on a hike to Mount Wilko yesterday and it was so beautiful. We could see the whole Mulshi valley, the Mulshi dam, even some high towers somewhere far away (the outskirts of Pune?). We went up with a group of firstyears and secondyears, as part of the first year integration month. The sun was shining (I think God likes us, because every time there is a hike planned, the sun is shining like crazy. Now I have a sunburn! Ai!) most of the time. When we reached the top (there is one tree on the top, which you can see from our campus. It is tradition to pee against it, but I guess that's not appropriate when you're in such a big group. Plus, there was a group of cows chilling around it, so we couldn't really get there), it was foggy and there was a little bit of really nice cute rain. There was a monkey there who came to steal our food. Kind of scary, but kind of cool too. After letting it steal around five aloo parathas, we chased it away. We also had cheese and dark chocolate for lunch, it was actually so much better than an average caf lunch! We went halfway down and then we got some time to write a "letter to yourself". Mountains do something to you, they always make you get so serious. It was cool! We're gonna get our letter back on graduation day...
I don't want to think about graduation!I don't want to leave :( I'm back in MUWCI for a month now, that means 1/8 is DONE. Already. Shiiit!
In the first year, I was Always really annoyed when secondyears didn't let us firstyears complain about the work we had to do, because they had so much more. I get them now (but I don't do the same thing to our firsties, because it was not cool). It is upsetting that, no matter how much work you do, you can NEVER be done with everything. It's like the Greek myth of Sisyphos (kind of not, but kind of yes) (I miss doing Greek in school). It's a dilemma, because everytime I'm not working, I feel guilty, but everytime I'm working, I also feel guilty because there is so much I'm missing out on. There are so many amazing people on this hill (half of them I don't know yet) and I just don't have time to get to know them. So sad! But part of life I guess (such deep).
On the other hand, being a secondyear is also kind of cool. I feel way more confident to talk to anyone really, and I care less and less about what other people think about me. A quality which is, according to me, really important. The new year is also kind of a new start, I'm getting pretty close to some people I never talked to in my firstyear!
I have some other urgent obligations now (mash potato in the caf, to be precise) so I'll update later! I promise I will try to update more regularly!
Lots of teabags <3
