Life at a United World College in India

MUWCI moments

1. Being woken up by your roommate in the morning when you have a free block and hearing 'Thule, can I borrow a jumper?' and wondering with a half-asleep Canadian mind what the hell a jumper is and telling her to take what she wants.

2. Walking around with friends from Guatemala and Norway spreading jazz music and dancing your way across the wadas until you find more friends and sit in someone else's courtyard until late at night.

3. Not being able to remember where you left your shoes but waking up to find that your co-year returned them with a note saying you're crazy.

4. Melting chocolate into a bowl and cutting apples into pieces and eating it cross-legged with friends.

5. Falling asleep backwards while doing homework on your bed and your roommate propping you up with a pillow, turning off your lights and putting away your laptop. <3

6. Being told the next day you had a conversation with someone that woke you up when you were sleeping and not remembering it at all.

7. Receiving a letter from home and almost crying and it making everything ok.

8. Falling asleep in your co-years bed and waking up in your own and being confused.

9. Eating someone else's noodles.

10. Tea parties.

11. Entering the AQ and having to make the difficult decision of going either left or right.

12. Laughing until you cry and crying until you laugh.

13. Carefully avoiding the topic of the EE around second-years.

14. 20 second dance parties in someone else's room.

15. Running around in the monsoon after midnight holding hands and laughing so hard you can't see straight.

16. Writing this list instead of studying for your math test tomorrow.

Love to you

  1. The difference between girls rooms and boys rooms:
    1. Not being waken up by your roommate.

    2. Hanging around in your room with friends from Guatemala and Norway spreading jazz music and dancing until more friends join and stay there for all night eventhough there are people sleeping.

    3. Not being able to remember where you left your shoes but waking up to find out that your roommate is wearing them, somewhere else on campus.

    4. Melting chocolate in your roommate's bowl, which he needed for his cooking triveni, and cutting apples into pieces and eating it crosslegged with friends.

    5. Falling asleep backwards while doing homework on your bed and your roommate wakes you by walking in and having a party in his corner, accidentally. Or not, he doesn't care.

    6. Being told the next day you did something incredibly stupid that woke you up when you were sleeping and not buying any of it, but still feeling an urge to go and apologize to someone.

    7. Receiving a letter from home and find your roommate reading it while going through your stuff to find food.

    8. Falling asleep in your roommate's bed and waking up on the floor two minutes later.

    9. Eating all of somebody else's noodles.

    10. Parties.

    11. Entering the AQ and walking strate to the other side where the couches are.

    12. Laughing and crying.

    13. Reminding your roommate that their life sucks because of EE.

    14. 10 second dance parties in caf.

    15. Running around in the monsoon after midnight holding an umbrella. You may still laugh.

    16. Writing this comment instead of paying attention during your Global Poltics class.

    Love to you too Thules
