I turned 17 yesterday, and had an amazing day surrounded by wonderful people. I was made pizza by an Italian, sang to by a Nepali and received hugs from every conceivable corner of the planet. I guess that's UWC for you.
I also worked out that today it's 46 days until I arrive back in England, and it's 106 days since I saw any of the members of my family. That makes me sad, but also extremely excited about going back home to England, especially as it's St. George's Day today (wow - coming to UWC has made me so patriotic). After grad (24th May), I'm planning to travel for two weeks with a Colombian named Maria Jimena. We're thinking of going to the Andaman & Nicobar islands (mainly because we want to swim with Elephants), along with a few stop offs in touristy places along the way.
My brother sent me the below picture of Zed the other day, and it made me realise how much I missed not only my family, but also home life in general; pets included! Funnily enough, I miss my old school, I miss sleeping on time and I miss food most of all. It feels like I've been here for ever. A part of me really does not want to leave as it means saying goodbye to my second years and some of the people I'm closed to, however the other half of me can't wait to get out of here; this term feel like it's dragged on for ever.

| To think that I could be here in under a month makes my exams seem a whole lot less stressful. |

| What a cutie |
This weekend, 15 of us are going to stay in a hotel in Pune called Pancard Clubs, which is going to be a lot of fun. It will only be my second time off campus in just over 6 weeks, and I cannot wait to celebrate my birthday in style with some of my closest friends. Counting down the days until Saturday arrives!
Apart from that ^, I don't really have much news. I had my english mock on Sunday, which went pretty well, and now I'm just working my ass off in order to prepare for my end of year exams which start in a couple of weeks.
I never know how to end these posts, it's always so awkward. Bye for now? I guess that'll have to do.
