I started this roller coaster by applying to United World Colleges. Then after some highs and lows, I was offered a place at UWCiM (United World College in Mostar) which I took! But it's not that simple. The place was a fee paying place and we don't have the money. However the knights in shinning armour stepped up with their donations, which I am eternally grateful for. But still there is money to raise, so fund raising is under way! And alongside it comes the college itself…

One Month On ...
I have been in Mostar a month, where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday I was walking to Llanishen High School with old friends, but now I'm walking to Mostar Gymnasium with new friends. Every night I said good night to my mum or dad, now I say good night to my room mates. In some strange way, I think I'm growing up.
School is hard, I'm getting used to the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the work load. School doesn't seem to end it just merges with my day, the only difference being if I have a teacher or not. Sleep is something everyone needs more of but won't give up anything to get it. The decision between school work, socialising and sleep isn't a hard one.
This week has been a pretty regular one. I had a really nice lazy weekend! Just relaxing with friends and watching films. There have been several monsoons so instantly feel like I'm back in Wales! Then on Sunday we played an epic game of rugby! Due to all the rain and lack of drainage the pitch was a swimming pool, I'm sure you can guess the rest. Crazy teenagers + Rugby + Muddy Field = A LOT OF FUN!!!
Although after 3 washes my top has still not regained it's original colour!!
Mud...
Mud
and More Mud!
One minute you can see the mountains...
The next thing there gone!!
