i'm early today, and with corrine. i went to the office like normal, but corrine and ing came and found me at like 11. i put pictures on my memory stick (that aren't uploading to photobucket at all, and i'm pissed) and then set off for the day, essentially. we went philo's pharmacy shop, and philo is a beautiful ghanian woman (beautiful in the ( Read more... )

Well..i’m back in sogakope now, and what a fabulous “vacation” I had. I don’t really remember what all I said the last time I updated, but I can tell you that finding random Dutch friends makes a world of difference-I’ve learned that it’s okay to spend money on nice things like European food, Nutella, and taxis, and that white people do exist here ( Read more... )

Hmm, wow, so back in Hohoe using the internet again. Yesterday we were supposed to do a bunch of stuff-greet tribal chiefs, visit the waterfalls, etc. But it was Republic Day yesterday, and so John and Salom said they would come at noon and then came at 3:30, and then said they would come again in a couple of hours and showed up around 9, with no ( Read more... )

so, i am in hohoe, which has internet, surprisingly! i am not sure i'll be using it much, but it's surprising anyway. this is the best place ever. i want to live here. i am staying in a guest house with two girls from Holland who are amazing, and white, and that always helps. the guest house is run by germans, and i drank real coffee this morning ( Read more... )

Well..last night was crazy. I was so exhausted from all my raging passion and stuff, and then I came back and was going to cook, but I just didn’t have the energy, so I just didn’t eat. I realized that I have been totally careless and not washed dishes in a while, so I had to do that. And then I realized that there was a rotten tomato hiding behind ( Read more... )

I had a good day until a couple of hours ago, and now I am just really pissed and frustrated with John and I hate men ( Read more... )

To begin, I’m an idiot and I forgot to bring my memory stick with yesterday’s entry. I didn’t come because I had choir practice at 7:30, and I (Accos, actually) did wash yesterday, and I didn’t really want more of a sunburn than I had to have, walking here in the eternally hot sun. So there ( Read more... )

Today was another fairly boring day…I didn’t do much in the office except looking over all my health stuff one more time (before I print it all next week) and helping Persis type a screenplay written by a YCC member. I actually typed most of it, because I’m a much faster typist than Persis and Odette, and so now my wrist is kind of sore ( Read more... )

So, the big thing today was that Ghana won!! First African team ever to make it to the final 16 in the World Cup! I was kind of torn between rooting for the US and Ghana, but I’m happy that Ghana won, because they deserve it. And everyone here is happy too-cars are just riding around the streets yelling and singing and honking, and I’m certain that ( Read more... )
