To unite . . .

7 people on the course so far. Got given mats, books, uniform, etc. As soon as it was dinner I went to peace cafe and got the guys to cut up my t-shirt, as I hate t-shirts so a t-shirt it ain't no more. And the trousers are rolled up as shorts displaying my hairy knees, as I have been keeping them covered they have been neglected in my shaving routine - avoiding the bites so each leg bite is surrounded by stubble. I know, but at least I shave many don't shave anywhere.

The yoga is completely different to the classes I was doing when I first arrived. It is like the slowest hatha yoga ever with lots of 'relaxing' after a couple moves. I feel a bit like I'm not doing much but Jason who has completed the course assures me this way I will become more flexible. Only time will tell.

In our lecture it was all about what is yoga for 2hours. Everyone scribbling down sheet after sheet of a4, I made 2 a5 brief notes, I can't spell any of what he says so what's a girl to do, even when I ask he spells it but my brain, like when at school, can't figure out the letters quick enough to write it down. Maybe a tad dyslexic.

I got completely lost in the lecture for about 5 minutes, Sivadas uses examples of nature to describe things for us to understand. So when he kept saying porn to describe whatever it was, I just sat confused until I released he was saying pond, I'm such a tit. But on the morning he had preached about not having a social life or sexual relationship here or you will get robbed. I lost count of how many times he warned us with fear of being robbed.

I bought a bowl and have started to eat in my lovely room where I am going to try and relax, read, practice pilates and yoga without distraction. Bring myself back in tune with my body and get life into prospective. I say this now but I may end up crazy. I need to learn not to worry about things that haven't even happened yet and what might never happen. My four hour dinner break today consisted of me being with oneself with food then a two hour kip, I reckon some good musta come of this.

So the routine has begun of early nights and a vegan diet.

All my bites, I average a new one a day, seem to blister up quite big for some reason, I've never had that before, it's really disgusting, especially the one on my lip, urgh. But it just adds to the scruff effect.

I did forget to mention that yesterday we had to build a road for the car to get up the bank for the hot springs, was rather amusing. Xx
