First of these days I stayed at the centre, where I cleaned a little bit with Maria and made some basse. Maria was not in a good disposition, she kept shaking her head. At one point she told me that she keeps hearing very rude, violent voices in her head and that she cannot stop them,and they're constantly bothering her. I asked her about the doctors and told her I was sorry for her, but didn't really know what to say. I was surprised, I actually never met anyone before who heard voices.
Second day I went to cut down trees. We just sat and watched for 3 hours, it was windy and cold, and Morten looked like a monkey. Trond and Yngve got into an argument, I just heard Yngve shouting at him, but I don't know what it was about.
Third day I went to clean the parking lots. There were many people, some 5-6 of them printed their cvs and went to the Jobmesser. That is, an event organised twice a year by NAV, like a rotation interview or something, the point is to find jobs for people. Trond was also at the parking lot, and I was surprised that he didn't go to jobmesser. I asked why and he turned out to be very pessimistic about it, saying this is the best job he could hope for. That is rather strange, to me it seems like he doesn't belong there, I'm having trouble understanding how he got in this situation.
Fourth day was very short, we finished at 11.30 because the bosses had a meeting at 12.We picked up some magasines from SorgenFri and took them to the recycle factory, as they were out of date. Talked to Trond a lot, he didn't seem so well today, or maybe he was too well. Very chatty, singing, talking even if no one listened to him.
I'm a little puzzled as to what I am supposed to do, because I've been talking a lot to Trond and we established a kind of connection, but I don't know whether to continue in this direction or to stop it. Maybe I should ask.

Day 4 and 5
Activities:
On Thursday we went to the wood chopping place, where we had to sweep the floors. We were very early and just hung around for the rest of the day. I was left alone with 3 of the clients, and we sat there, chatted, listened to music and had some coffee. Then Morten came and took us sightseeing, to see which trees needed to be cut on Monday.
On Friday, we went to the same place, where we mopped the same floors we had swept the day before. They put all the 3 women on doing that, and the ment were doing other stuff. Again, we were done early, then we went to the Slavation Army, where they served us food (they do that once a month), and then back at the centre, where we had waffles. While having lunch, Borbre asked if we believed in God.
Personal impressions:
On Thursday, I thought it wasn't a good practice to leave an intern alone with 3 of the clients, especially when they're all men with drug addictions/mental problems/ex convincts and she is a woman. But I can't say I was really afraid for anything.
On Friday, at the salvation army, I saw a lot of weird people, and I also notice more and more of them on the streets. The waffles were nice, and it's nice that it happens every Friday. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I didn't understand why Borbre asked if we believed in God, that question was so out of the blue, out of space and out of circumstance. Maybe there was a point to it, but I can't tell.
