BACK IN NORWAY, 17.MAI AND END OF SCHOOLYEAR

It has been a couple of months since I left Uganda the 25th of April. I find it strange to be back in Norway as well as good. Many challenges did that I longed to get “back home,” but as I’ve spent some time here I’ve started to long back to Africa. To mention a thing; the paste there – that sometimes is annoying – is also good in a way. Here in Norway many things are just stress and a hassle to get done. But we have to adjust and try to live the best we can, and make the most out of our stay wherever we are…

It was wonderful to meet all the people back at school in Mandal. We shared experiences, started and continued good friendships. Sadly the school-year is over and we have to continue our lives different places, but I will always remember the people at school and I appreciate the time we’ve had together. All the games we played, food we made and laughter shared. :) I also hope that we will still continue to stay in touch. So many good people gathered on one place is rare… :)

“Hurra – Hurra – Hurra – 17.mai er jammen bra – hurraaaaa…. “
Before ending school we had the opportunity to celebrate 17th of May together. This is Norway’s national day. This celebration was the best in many years for me. It was nice sharing the day together with all the internationals at school. Many Norwegians wear traditional clothes, we danced and played games. A memorable day! The world should be all about sharing and learning.
