when i wrote my entry previously i realised in a shock that we've had this blog more than a year. this means pragathi has been gone for more than a year.

its unbelievable how quickly time can fly, i still can remember casablaca like yesterday, the roaming around town (I actually know a lot more cool places i could ahve taken you to now), bugging teachers and driving fellow students insane.

time for a news update. a lot has changed. ISS has changed. the atmosphere of a desperate clinging, the suspense before the potential fall, the depression so to speak, is gone now. with the new headmaster, not that much has changed, but you can feel a completely different atmosphere. despite tense financial crisis, there is new hope. desperation has moved on, and teachers and students alike notice it.

but what concretely is new? the lunch stand has moved back into the fishbowl, they also sell soup now, and a brezel for 45 cents, good for the poor hungry student (eg. me), the necessity of a weekly assembly is gone, and next year we shall get better fieldtrips again. the this years one was horribly organised.

on the other side, the down sides, which mark iss life are still there: mr. t and my new "wonderful" tok teacher, a not (well) functioning student coucil, too much homework, too many assessments and the usual people you dont care much for seeing.

social life is much the same too. theres the ppl that drink and go out, and the ones that dont, and the americans. nothing really new. then endless on and off of couples: let me see, maddie and michael are going out, jeff has a gf in 10th grade, yannik and jule on their second run etc etc etc.

as for my own aspirations im still into medicine and of course dancing. I still am passionate about things i like and probably annoy everyone with it, and apart from a slight german diction reform (i weeded out most of the slang I hope) and a weird love life, its as you know me :). well to the last part I must add that fayes love life is definately much more interesting. Im not too keen on mine rumouring around school.

this time in a year im free(of school/to visit india). wow, rather scary thought(the schooll part).
