7/17/13

 First day of classes! Well, sort of. We had orientation yesterday, where we got a list of possible courses and we were told that we would have until the end of July to finalize our schedule. Until then we audit classes. 8:00am I woke up ate a quick breakfast and headed out to my first class: Society and Sexuality. The University of Hyderabads campus is huge (I want a bike).  One thing to know about classes at the University of Hyderabad, they don't have room numbers. Each school of study has a building that it is centered in and most students take courses all within that school. So I came to the social sciences building with no idea where the class I wanted to sit through was. I found it, and it turns out a Finnish boy from the house was trying out the same class. My next adventure was trying to find the communications building (did i mention the campus is huge). Before I left the states I was told often that India is hot and humid. Yet... Monsoon season. I arrived wet but in good spirits because two local girls helped me find my way and even shared their umbrella with me. I did not get to attend a class here but got a list of possible RTVF courses I can try. The walk back was long and wet. Hopeful for future classes.
