A visit to a home

Friday night a couple of girls were invited to go and visit Ellen’s home. She is one of the girls who lives here in Kenya with here family and doesn’t live on the boarding. It was amazing being in a real home again. Almost everyone here refers to the boarding as our home by now, but there is something missing, that feeling of it being yours. So being in a home with a mother, father and brother, with pictures on the walls and all those little personal decorations that make a home a home was a welcomed pause from being “old” and take care of yourself and we all started to behave a bit more childish as fast as we entered the house. We sat down in the living room to eat popcorn and sing songs from when we were younger, it was very cozy, until we had to return to the school so that those who wanted to go out partying wouldn’t miss the school bus going to Double Inn, one of the nightclubs we’re aloud to go to.

Lisa, Elsa and I (mostly I) were planning to go out Saturday instead so we decided to watch TV instead. Not being able to find a movie we wanted to watch we tried SVT to see what was on. Doobidoo with no one less than Maria Montesami as a guest was all we could have ever wished for and when it was followed by Skavlan, with Carola as a guest, we could almost not hold back our happiness.
