we took our twi professor out to lunch at asanka locals (his choice). i swear, this man is such a character. you don't even know... i took fufuo with groundnut soup and fish. and, apparently, i've mastered the art of eating it with my hands and swallowing it (NOT chewing), just like a ghanaian, because my prof told me so. "i like the way you take your fufuo." oh, and fresh (like bottled-this-week fresh) pineapple juice with ginger. ive rediscovered how amazing ginger is- ghanaians put it in all sorts of things!
the clouds were heavy, dark and blue. it rained on us, which was very wonderful
and yes, another picnic! this was like 2 weeks ago, so on the brink of crazy time. these picnics just get better. we had a very blissful time, laying on a blanket together, watching the trees above us and listening to the "across the universe" soundtrack
foliage! patrick!

3 more weeks is long, 3 more weeks is short. i spoke to my mom for maybe 10 minutes last night, first time in a long time because calls are so expensive. i have a feeling i'll be losing my voice after the first day i'm back. today i had many adventures and i'm sunburnt, dehydrated, and tired. it hasn't quite sunk in yet that i'm done with classes. this weekend will be spent vegging- reading, surfing the web (assuming the power doesn't go out), and eating fanchoco.
found an intriguing blog. this guy took a year off after high school to live in accra, and ended up teaching in a free school for streetchildren. its highly entertaining and encouraging to read accounts of accra from another foreigner's voice and be able to exclaim "yes! i thought so also!" or "yes, i totally agree!" he's not with an official program like we are, so he has some more exciting stories to tell. link here.
