Kids!

Today I've learned a few things. I've had study-day, as every Wednesday, but today was my first day at the after-school-club for kids from seven to twelve years old that the church I'm in, is running.

It was an interesting, fun and tiresome afternoon. When I came some of them showed me around, wanted me to play with them and thought it was fun to have a new leader there. I also discovered how hard it must be to be a referee in a soccer match, or any other match for that matter. I tried to keep track of what happened when two of the smaller kids played against one of the older kids, and it was not easy!

I also saw how some of them could bug others that didn't dare to speak up so much and speak back to the leaders.

I will be there every Wednesday from four to eight and I think it will be very fun and valuable for me to be there for the kids.

A weekend off

It's Monday evening. I'm outside, listening to the sound of silence. I can't here nothing but the sound of the waves out in the ocean. Getting the last breaths of fresh air from the coast for this time, before I have to go to bed, to get up too early tomorrow to fly back to Oslo.

I had some really nice days at home last weekend!! It was so good to just relax, be with family, see friends, get away from the busy city life. Be home! Instead of thinking of if I should read some more, I played with Jakob, he loves playing with my lego and climb in the tree in grandmother and grandfather's garden, had some nice time with Oskar, he looked good, smiled to me and told me some secrets about school and life in general. Tuva was scared of me this time, as she was when I came from the US, so that was very nice! She's running around and is everywhere!

 

Jonas, a good friend, had got a sailboat since last time I was home! So one evening we hang out in his boat and I tested one of his guest cabins over night and it was really enjoyable to sleep in the boat, to feel the waves!

Next time at home will be even better:) It'll be far into December, Christmas time and I will be done with my first exam, a big and icky one!
