praksis and more...

Well, it was a special and long day, and for reasons way too many to mention here. Sitting in the hagestua, or the internet room, I realised again how time is flying. Well, its already 20th February (and in 2 and a half hours, it will be 21st). Time is flying, and no doubts that I've begin to realise it and feeling a little sad... Not sad about coming back (well, i'm waiting to see those familiar faces back home) but sad of leaving these people behind whom I've been close to in the past (soon) 6months..
lets leave that thought for now...

Today was the last day of my Praksis in Inderøy Ungdomskole and it ended with a smile on my face, and some sweet memories and thoughts. We had Action Day today, something which started last year, and we continued it this year and something which actually made us a little tensed as we wondered how it would be, but it went great. Made indian food (trust me.. it was loads of food making), watched Water, had a discussion about it, spoke about CSA and India, had culturals for the occasion, and said a bye to many people there.

It felt beautiful when Frida came up and told that she'll miss seeing me around, it was sweet when the teacher (whom I do not know the name of) came up and said, ''Its not your last day.. you're here till June, so you have to come visit us'', it felt nice when Nils gave me a hug and said that he'll miss talking to me...
What relation do I have with these people? I just had Praksis in this school for a little over a month, three days a week.. thats all. Its amazing when I see how people can be.. especially, to a stranger like me.

I first wondered why we have this Praksis and even remember enquiring with Ms. I about the same, but now realised that subtly, so many thoughts have came into my mind, and so many experiences, experienced. And it is true, you learn more when you have different things around you, especially a whole different society, a whole different system and some amazing people.

Thank you Inderøy Ungdomskole for that sweet welcome and that beautiful farewell.
I will come visit again :)

Now, I am off to Sweden.
