exams

exams are coming up and everybody here is FREAKING OUT. it's pretty much exactly like smith during exam time. they give out extra food in the evening, and people stay up all night long studying. apparently the director changed the format of the exams this year... he wants to make them more like western-style exams. the students are not happy about this change at all.

in other news, i love the institute library. not only does it have an extensive collection of western, buddhist, and indian philosophy books written in hindi, tibetan, sanskrit, and english, it also has the ENTIRE hardy boys and nancy drew series.
