Summery of this cazy time

Hey people,

Was going to make this post for a very very long time and hopefully this time will work out. Many interesting things happened since my last post, I'll try to put them here in order.

At first every day of short course seemed to be full and we couldn't notice how the time flies.
The most mention-able events that happened and some pics:

  • Adventure hunt! I really liked as I am obsessed with competitions, here a little confusion happened, our team won, but as in a finish line there was only a part of our team they decided to share a price between us and the team that took second place. Though I don't like chocolate-butter, taking price was enjoyable.
the prize

  • We went to museum. Let's say it was a little different from what I used to call a museum. It was... well instead of me explaining better just to have a look at pics. We had fun time.







  • Next one was my first hiking at RCN. I was really sick and the weather was not budding, but I did not want to go down after a half way (or quarter, doesn't really matter) so I kept on walking. the nature in here looks like so so much Armenian nature. The next day my cough got even worse but I feel like it worth doing. It was on my birthday by the way, and in half way we found a name box and putted our names and wrote some other stuff which I don't remember now unfortunately.In the evening one people made a cake for me, sang a song, and we had a kind of mini-party....






  • Almost in the end of short course we had a bonfire and lovely marshmallows. First time in my life I actually "baked" them. Reaally liked it.


  • My first jump in a fjord happened in the short course. Actually it was not planned, my foot slipped and I fell, then went out and jumped and then crossed the fjord. The water is freezing cold, no matter what weather it is.
  • Eventually in the very end of the course we had a party and kind of a show thing. I was singing with one of my co-years. Went very well.
After a short course as no first year was supposed to be on campus before second years we went for a trip.
When we came back the craziest part began. First day we arrived everyone was going around screaming and shouting, all of them very overexcited and superhappy to meet us. Most of all my roommates, it was overwhelming. They made tea and waffles for us. There are 5 people in each room. I am sharing mine with Naty(Costa Rica), Liri(Israel), Amalie (Norway) and Jasmine (Singapore). So far we already had 2 roomie dinners which was very nice and few tea gatherings.So much stuff happening and I can't even remember. Would be better I guess if since this week I try to write more often. Today we have one more event, the fiirst year show! Which follows second year show happened last week. And right afterit we have this Peace one day thing, which is celebrated all over UWC-s. Looking forward for it!

The list of stuff that I learned in here so far:
  • drinking tea without a sugar(back home I used to use 7-8 spoons per cup)
  • secret friend tradition about UWC
  • Happy first year tradition
  • about Second year show
  • some lows in different countries, and found out that actually in mine they are the best, or at least the best for me (but a lot of people told me that they make sense more)
  • walking in flipflops when it's 13-18 degrees outside and its raining
  • that people around the world have so much similarities(I thought so before too)
  • if your opinion is offensive for anyone, do not say it out laud, it won't make anything better
  • secret that knows more then one person is not a secret anymore (here people gossip a loooot)
List of stuff that I will try to do for next week
  • keep on being vegan (as now I became one, we'll see how long it will last)
  • Workout 
  • go to the pool
  • have 2 tea gatherings
  • get to known to one more person (people are beautiful! and I am so afraid that I will not manage to get known to all of them during this time)
  • have a cake baking (if my credit card arrives of course, I lost mine in here)
  • plan my trip for November break
  • do more homework
  • one crazy thing, that I wouldn't normally do (I will do my best to find one)
  • help to organize DROP (Do Remember other People) cafe 
  • read 1 book
  • vocal wormings
I guess this is enough for now. Hope all of you, people, are enjoying your life!
