So, some updates:
- The American in the room next to mine has
cholera. Lovely!
- The water in my building has been out for a
week.
- The strike is over, but, so far, there will not
be any changes in the finals schedule, despite the 2½ weeks of missed class.
- My roommate’s mother has been in the hospital
for several weeks. She is so stressed; I wish that I could help her somehow.
- There is a lizard trapped in my room. I can’t
figure out how to encourage it to leave…
Yeah. I am ready to come home.
Home to water that does not shut off. Home to reliable wifi. But, as I have
only five weeks left in Ghana, I have suddenly realized that I have so many
things left to do! I still have the trip to Winneba for the hunting festival in
May. I have to figure out when I can make it up to Mole, the National Park
where you can get within twenty meters of elephants! And there are several
things in Accra that I still want to see—the National Museum and a market known
for its bead selection, for example. And I have to get ready for finals, too!
Ach! My perception of time has shifted once again! In February, I had all the
time in the world. Now, I have only five weeks. Of course, three of those weeks
will be mostly free time, as more time is allotted for finals here. I have two
free weeks before my first final. They did give us specific instructions advising
us not to travel during finals week…but pretty much everyone is anyway… So much
to do and think about in so little time!
