Weekend report

I bet you are wondering what I was up to last weekend;) Saturday one of the LCs organized “integration trip” for its members and trainees, so we spent a wonderful day at prampram beach:) Unfortunatelly it wasn’t a very swimming kinda beach, but I enjoyed it none the less, especially playing volley-ball which I haven’t done for quite a while. And just being with people of course… I didn’t take pictures, so just let me share a couple of Maryna’s;)

Me and Enoch (Legon VPPD:p), I have that weird look on my face, because this was taken as a big wave was comming on to us (half of the dress was wet after this;))


Maryna in the desert:D Just a cute picture...

Other than that last weekend was a party time. Those who know me know that partying is not my strongest feature, but I came home at 4 am after Friday party, woke up at 8 (to go to the beach), after the beach was home at 7:30pm and by 9pm we were already heading “downtown” for dinner and extended fun:) I guess I don’t have to mention how dead I was by 11 o’clock:) Yet, human body is an interesting thing and after 15 minutes of sleeping (yeah, I did manage to sleep at Monsoon’s:D) I was dancing at Tantra till 4:30am:) On normal circumstances I wouldn’t mention such things, but it’s for my more partying friends a hint that I’m not totally hopeless:p And more importantly it was a way to say goodbye to Patrick, a person I learned a lot from in a short time we shared. Thank you for that! Labanakt:)

For those who don’t like my little theories I wish sunshine and you may stop reading. For the others, I have one more theory or observation rather. I was looking through some blogs of people who were on traineeship in Ghana, but left before I came and I started thinking that generally traineeship is a small version of life itself:

You come and don’t know anyone, don’t know the culture = you are born:) You start meeting people, learning about the environment you live in etc. The first months are very fun and full of surprises, just like the first years of your life. Then you become comfortable with your life, know what is going on, have a circle of people you spend most time with and your life becomes some sort of routine with occasional trip or event. By the end of your traineeship you look back to your experience and the first thing you try to do is to catch up with all the things you didn’t manage to do though wanted to: oh, there’s this place I want to go to, oh, there’s this thing I need to do before I leave… Well comparing the end of the traineeship with death is a bit too drastic, but in a way it does mean the end. Circle of life:)

Maybe that’s why it’s so sad when somebody leaves. It’s even sadder when somebody close to you leaves. Though I’ve been told more than once that I shouldn’t get attached to people so much, somehow I don’t think it’s the right way to go. Firstly, nobody could tell how to do that;) But more importantly, I think it’s better to let people you like close to your heart and store the memories of them there after they leave than have your heart blank though not have to miss anybody…
