Day 38: So About Last Night...

Heritage walk in the morning yesterday, photographs soon. It was pretty alright, I was a little too lazy to take off my shoes and move inside some of the temples, but I wasn't feeling learny yesterday.

We (The Bunch of Cynical Bastards) did the whole decrepit old people sitting outside (my room) again right before we headed to the party, and that's where I revealed to everyone the magic that is the "Deathstar Canteen" by Eddie Izzard, and also the "Superfriends" mash-up. Go watch both things on Youtube, I'm too lazy to link it right now.

Oh, it was also the screen of "PAT on the Back", which the Frenchies hadn't seen yet. We also spent the entirety of yesterday exercising, we had Badminton in our hall's courtyard, with a frisbee game going on across the makeshift badminton court - essentially meaning that one's head could be taken off with a flying frisbee whilst attempting to hit a shuttlecock, or that you might take someone's head off if they didn't just miss that play.

There was a pre-Party at Bertie's room, it was here that we spent the better part of the evening watching music videos recommended by Bertie and listening to his extensive lesson in music, whilst witnessing the magic that is Peer Pressure. And the coolness that is Solidarity In Numbers. Right after that we had the alumni meet's culmination at Chhota, then-converted into a dance-floor beneath the stars. There were laser lights and a DJ who occasionally played House and R&B, so those were the good parts. The Bhangra part of it I didn't enjoy so much, cultural differences and language barriers I suppose?

It is also amazing how a Residential Campus society functions, and the kinds of things one might be able to witness. I haven't seen half the things that are happening here, but I'll be sure to give you all the lowdown if I get a foot in. Or, I could just go my own touristy way. I don't know, we'll see.

Right now I'm going to work on the video a little bit more, maybe do my readings for tomorrow's class (maybe), do some reading of the book I'm supposed to review, wonder about the magnificence that is life, then go to bed.
