Last night I came home from the Bull Frog at about 3 am to find that the front door had been bolted shut; which made my keys redundant. I wouldn’t mind so much but this is the second time it has happened; though the first time my host had been semi-awake waiting for me.
My understanding of my home situation, based on what both my host and placement leader have informed me is that I am there as a lodger. I have my own keys and I can come and go as I please. I know full well that this does not mean that I should treat the house as a hotel. I clean up and help out where I can. I always let my host know where I am going and in fact yesterday I left her a note on the table saying I was out for the night.
Thankfully the other volunteer I was with had a spare room so Istayed at his place and walked home this morning.
When I got in this morning she said she saw me leave her house at 3 am and wondered where I was going. She said it was at that point that she locked the door! I said that is not possible, the time she saw me was when I had walked up to the door; found it bolted shut; realised I couldn’t get in and decided to crash at someone’s place.
What annoys me even more is that we discussed this before. As far as I am aware I do not have a curfew, nor do I make a habit of going out every night. This is just crap.
I can cope with the visitors rule and the no phone calls rule however I really do not appreciate having to walk through Belmopan at early hours of the morning; in the same clothes I had on yesterday looking like all rough!
Nimechoka kabisa!!

Hah. Even your mother would not treat you like this. Is this her way of being protective?

Oh you poor dear, as Mshairi says even your mother would not treat you like this. Is the woman older and like of what generation. Maybe you should discuss your placement issues with someone else. Pole

In Lord of the Rings, Gandalf has to say the word ‘friend’ in Elvish to open the doors to the caves of Moria (Frodo gets it but Gandalf, for all his magic and spells, does not). Perhaps this is what she wants you to do:-)

Yes, you have to see LoTR and more important, learn Elvish. The inscription on the door to the Mines of Moria reads: “Speak, friend and enter�. Gandalf randomly reels off several magic words hoping one will cause the door to open. Frodo is clever and soon understands they are being asked is to speak the word ‘friend’ in Elvish, which is ‘mellon’. It’s a riddle, you see. Perhaps your host understands Elvish:-)

find another place to stay if you can.
If its happened twice now she’s (sub)concsiously trying to show her disapproval. She’s probably not ok with you coming in late in which case she should have made her ‘curfew’ clear from the start. drama mamaz!
