A New Beginning

I arrived at 2pm. As i enter the gates of MUWCI, i realised that this will be my final term here. I felt sad and gad at the same time. Sad because i won't be seeing more than half of the students here ever again; glad because i won't have to suffer living on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere. After a year and a half in MUWCI, i realised that diversity in MUWCI is overstated. You could throw me in the middle of Bangalore and i'd be able to experience greater diversity there. I guess it's partially due to the small number of students on campus.


I'm still recovering from the hangover. Last night was amazing. Pramodh and i drank vodka, beer and had awesome food for dinner. It was one of those chilled guys time out. I'll miss these times when school starts. Talking about school, i just realised i have so much to do in such a short period of time. Seniors always say that the final term is the most relaxed but they're gravely mistaken. I have so many deadlines to meet, so many tests to prepare for, so many assignments yet to be completed and of course the dreaded IB exams!

I have grown so much in these past 2 weeks. I guess it is true that the more you travel, the faster you grow. I experienced growth in thoughts, actions and of course, height:)
Life can be so cruel sometimes. At times of stress and disappointment, i feel as if the wind has been knocked out of me and i lay on my bed gasping for air. Mind you, i don't have asthma. The fear envelopes me-fear of failure, fear of disappointment, fear of not being able to achieve my goals. But i don't want to live in fear. I want to embrace life's challenges and face each day with a positive attitude. I know i have it within me to succeed. All i need to do is believe.
