3 days hiatus

Firstly, I would like to apologise for not writing during the previous three days. Because of the circumstances beyond my control we were not allowed in the main office hence not having any access to the internet.

So let me take you three days back...

On Saturday I had my last maths lesson with the teacher teaching differentiation. Afterwards, I had an interview with a biology teacher. Although he was not able to ask me challenging questions involving architecture or physics, I found the interview very helpful; and it was rewarding to hear he was impressed with my responses. Afterwards I had some free time - for once - and later we all went to an island for barbeque and disco. There were lots of mini games to keep us occupied until dinner; which suited my appetite. Towards the end of the night most people were in the disco, although none of us knew how to dance - everyone being there in the same place made it worthwhile.

Sunday was a much more relaxing day. In the morning I went to the Chapel for the sunday prayers; it was a nice experience to see the culture and religious views of Christianity while being inspired by the architecture behind the chapel itself. I had no lesson that day, however I was signed up for a photography/drawing/designing session. I drew the Eton badge replacing the 'lion' in the top right with my trademark R. =D
BUT when it came to designin the t-shirt, I was schocked and felt my masculinity slipping away slowly. I entered the room to find a plain white t-shirt laying in the table with lots of materials, beads, scissors and fabric felts for the decoration of the top. I did not know we had to tailor the top which -in my opinion- is very feminine! So instead the three of us (the boys) decided to go around doing more photography. This was one of the best times I had in the summer school, because it was the most relaxing and it involved something I really enjoy and looking forward to doing in the future.
O and before I forget to mention, Spain won! The match was watched by most of the boys and it was entertaining to watch with a crowd because of the mixed reactions and foul mouthed chants!

After the two days of light work, I had to adjust back to the hectic schedule of three lessons a day. We had a different teacher for maths and a whole new topic of integration. Yet again it was things I did not learn before, so these lessons are being very beneficial for me. Also, there was the "Wall Game" which I did not participate in. So I'll let Ibtesham and Nobith talk about it.
Monday night was really fun because after finishing all our work we went to a friend's room (about 7 of us) and everyone kept making jokes. It was the most laugh I had in ages, so that was a good break.

Off the topic, I learnt how to play pool and - even if i say so myself - I am gettin good at it. =)

I'll write about todays activites in the next blog.
