So what's been going on! July 30th

So it's been a few days since I last posted and alot has been going on! It's amazing to think that so much has happened and I haven't even been in India for a week yet. 

Today is the first day of classes and I have 2 study halls together which takes me up to recess. The classes I am taking are: English, Algebra 2, Indian History, Beginner Hindi (For the lolz) Drawing and painting (Also for the lolz) and applied life science. For after school activities i'm doing: Astronomy, Rock climbing, Multimedia and Camping/hiking. 

The normal ritual is wake up at 6:30 have shower's till 7 (Thank god there's hot water) Have brekkie (The food is super good and different everyday) then get your stuff ready and leave for school at 7:30. The walk to school is an absolute pain, it makes auburn road seem like an escalator.  School most days finishes at 4:20 then we have after-school activities called enrichment which go till 6. Dinner starts at 6 and we have check-in at 7. From there it's study then relax time. So day's are pretty busy, but exciting because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Last night an American kid called 'Cory' and I made a hammock outside by attaching it to 2 concrete pillars. It took us about 40 minutes to make it high and tight enough so you didn't touch the ground. It was really cool and inside it was really relaxing looking up at the stars in the gentle chill of the night. 

The weather is really diverse here. It's monsoon season so most of the time it's like this.

But occasionally when the mist goes away it look's like this.

One of the most interesting parts of Woodstock is the monkeys.

Luckily I haven't been attacked yet but i've heard horror stories. There are very strict rules such as not going outside with food, otherwise YOU WILL be attacked by monkey's and their scratches can hurt. 

So that's going to be all for today. Ill blog again soon, with hopefully more stories to share with you all.

Until then, stay well
