This Projecct Week I decided to stay on campus, since: first of all I was broke, and second, I art and other things I wanted to work on. The result, a week on an almost empty campus, with few people and very fast internet. As I wrote in the other entry, it was so nice to be on my own without caring much about the theater you have to play when other people are around. Not that I'm fake, but in the sense, being polite, smiling like you mean it, asking and hearing all around the same question. How honest is our community?
Anyway, I got a chance to get to know better some of my coyears and first years, like my housemate Yuan from China. He's actually quite a funny guy! Also Ariuka, Sonam, Rigzin, Bimla the other Sonam and I had dinner under the stars of an almost empty wada 1. We talked for a bit, at some point I was sharing whatever little I know about the Mayas, and she was saying that their culture and cosmology sounds a lot like tibetan buddhism. Point of interest right there.
That was on Monday. On Wednesday we went together to Mahabaleshwar, and I got to see another side of my ladakhi coyears (who are by the way, some of the funniest people I've met). In some ways, going out with them and my 1st year from Zimbabwe, Zibusiso, reminded me of going out in Guate with my aunts. We can laugh about almost everything, and we have a good time no matter where we're going and how we're getting there.
Rigzen was quite the surprise! I had never seen her snap at anyone, let alone snap in hindi to a seller. Kya tin sau rupees? Bat karo! Humhara pas paise nehi hain, khatam hogia! Or something like that. The funniest thing I've seen in my life.. jajaja
Well, apart from that, good Indian Paneer Makhanwala for lunch on Wednesday, and 3 kilos of strawberries to eat back on campus (that is, if people don't eat it from the fridge before.
I finished almost half of the Chem syllabus, and 2/5 of Econ, 2/7 of Math but that's ok. Then I read a Spanish book I was supposed to read some weeks back, and a few English readings. Of course! Art :) A painting that's going on right now, and some pages of the RWB. We shall see how this thing turns out. I just have to keep going.
