Although this whole year is about learning new things and learning how to be a manager, there are some moments where we forget about all the pressure and we just act like normal students. We crack jokes, we talk back and we do some crazy things... But one of the biggest lessons on this farm for me was friendship. I came onto this farm, very judgemental and I was quick to judge but I was also very quickly judged.
Strangely enough, the people that I liked least in the beginning, are now my best friends.
During this 3 week Accommodation course, I made one of the best friends, Tarine. The two of us made one of the dirtiest days, the most fun day in the Hospitality course so far. We had to clean out the store rooms and along with it, we had to throw out some things and throwing those things away, well let's just say we felt like naughty children back in the olden days.
On our first day of cleaning an actual chalet, words can't describe the craziness but these pictures might.

| flying? |
 |
| When someone tells you, they are doing their washing, this is what they mean. |
 |
| Hiding... |
 |
| ...From work... |
 |
| No caption needed. |
 |
| Mom, can we keep it? |
 |
| She is not seeing what I'm seeing. |
 |
| That's what I saw. |
 |
| Pose for camera! |
 |
| Loafing is the word, I think. |
 |
| We own this barn... |
 |
| I am not a bunny! Yes, you are! |
 |
| The modern style of cleaning. |
 |
"Are you going to participate in the fun or keep on cleaning?"
"I'll participate! Sorry mam!" |
 |
| Making cleaning look sexy since 1991. |
 |
| Girl in background: "You are not pretty!" |
 |
| Just as it was perfect, I fell on it, 'by accident'. |
 |
| Chocolates please? |
 |
| Now you listen to me... wait, stop laughing! |
 |
| Zanderi is going to switch on the light, nooooooooooooooooo! |
 |
| Scary much? |
 |
| Probably even scarier... |
 |
| How to approach a guest... Or the exact opposite. |
 |
| The window needs love too. |
 |
| Sleeping on the job... |
 |
| The chill factor. |
 |
| Zanderi jailed us in, so she could clean. |
 |
| So we just made something else dirty. |
 |
| Facebook, am I doing it wrong? |
 |
| Hide and seek! |
 |
| Can Can girl! |
 |
| Tarine has this scary habit of sneaking up on people! |
 |
| She's working, we are laughing! |
 |
| There's that habit again! |
 |
| Well, you get the picture! |
 |
| I whip my hair back and forth!!! |
 |
| Jump up and down, shake it all around... |
 |
| Friendship is free. |
This was a very slow and intense course but it was also the course where I learned about friendship and how fun laughing and becoming dirty can actually be! A good relationship with fellow students and colleagues is highly important...
