This week can be summed up in one word...BONDING.
Monday, all of the interns got together at Lake Bled (one of the loveliest places in Slovenia) in order to reconnect and debrief a little. I didn't realize how much I missed them until we were all back together. Although our time was short, our conversation was incredibly refreshing.
The rest of the week was scattered with coffee dates, group cooking adventures in Marko's kitchen, the LAST Harry Potter movie, and Velenje. Mana and I went to Velenje on Wednesday in order to hang out with some girls who went to camp with us. They showed us the Velenje Castle and lake. We also enjoyed some lunch and ice cream with them. Friday, Mana and I put on a girls' night for some of the students as well. After cookies, ice cream, a photo shoot, M.A.S.H.,"She's the Man," and good conversation, I would say we spent our night well.
I have been encouraged by my relationships here. I love so many of the people here in Celje! Many of them feel like family to me, and it's such a blessing to get to actually live life with them instead of just visit.
Things to Remember:
-Sometimes, Slovenes drive tractors to buy groceries.
-Because Slovenia is 7 hours ahead, I got to see Harry Potter before my friends in the States.
-Live, Slovene rock music is really good!
