Where to study?

Studying on the volleyball court
Students here in Kosti often have to, in many ways, be very flexible to be able to perform well in their studies at the university. The hostels they live in are shared with dozens of other students. Doing homework or studying for exams is something that really asks for some logistical preparations in order to have some time and place for yourself. The facilities at the universities are in most cases not sufficient to offer decent study rooms for all students. Fortunately, many of the students of the nearby hostel for male students are inventive enough to make up for this lack: they always seem to find a quiet study place for themselves. One of the boys always sits in the shade next to the sandy road, another one sits under the tree where the goats and sheep are gazing, and another student always settles down with his study books on the balcony. This early morning however we noticed one student who surprised us with his very special study place: the volleyball court! He looked very focussed and at ease to have this whole court to himself. I hope it will give him some extra inspiration and competitive (sports-) mentality to score well during his exam..
