Day By Day

As I have been going to school for almost a week now, I am finally adjusted to the time, food and people. My schedule day by day is starting to become more prominent and I am able to develop a sort of rhythm. The school I am going to is a private school in Pune and it is made out of old train cars. It is very unique and a very neat atmosphere to be learning in. 
So my day starts at about 7:00, I wake up, drink tea and my driver picks me up and takes me to school. We then eat breakfast (generally iddly and chutney or rice) meditate, and start our Hindi lessons for the day. 3 hours of learning (more like struggling) and we take a chai break. 1 more hour of lessons and we eat lunch (usually dahl, chapati, rice, potatoes and other vegetables). Then, depending on the day we either have an hour to talk to students of the school in Hindi about cultural things, or we have grammar practice, teacher help, or peer meetings with our director. After that we have [more] chai, dance class, yoga or volunteering. We go home around 4 and spend the night with our families. My days are long and hot and filled with so much information. I am thoroughly exhausted but could never be happier.
