First Day At School

First day on the full teaching schedule today. It was really enjoyable!! Even starting the mantra and meditation at 5am! It was funny at breakfast at 9am, we felt like it was lunch, then spent the afternoon a little disorientated.

Today’s highlight was definitely meeting Swami Ji, the philosophy teacher (and comedian!) His anecdotes, which weren’t everyone’s cup of tea, kept us entertained while he relayed some basic concepts.
It’s nice to take the learning across all classes really slow, the teachers are always welcoming of questions, and we’re starting to get to know some of the other students (a couple of whom definitely share our daft/dark sense of humour).

Self study time perhaps wasn’t optimised as we had a nap… but hopefully as we adjust this won’t be needed. Did our homework and proudly improved our jumping back into Chattaranga. Aiming for 1 small improvement per day.

Tea was delicious (as always), quick games on the balcony, then an early night.
