As I realized that it was already the 2nd week of October days are going by faster than they are supposed to and I'm not happy about it. I also realized it was about that time for another post so here it goes.
My classes are still going pretty well, I'm fortunate not to have any that I dislike, but there are one or to that are hard to motivate myself to go to. My schedule during the week is pretty routine now, in between classes I spend my time at Pentagon (one of the student hostels) and after classes I spend time at ISH. My dad came in from Ohio last weekend, so I had to get used to not being in the house alone anymore. It's nice to see him and get to spend some of my free time with him, cause I don't see him that often in Ohio. Last week living at home got even more irritating to me trying to balance when I can go home and when I want to stay on campus. Like with any other university the less time you spend on campus the less time you get to meet people, and hang out with friends. It's easy to start feeling outcast when everyone has their late night conversations and calls each other to go get meals and your never included in that. This week I've made a conscious effort to try to balance my time with people, I'm getting better but the CIEE girls usually get less of my time cause they are hard to find (sorry), I'm working on it.
A recap of the weekend until today will probably be the easiest way to sum up my life here. Friday we went to a friend's friend's birthday party and an outdoor/indoor spot. Before we left of course there was some sort of set back like always...the rain. We've been joking around about how God doesn't ever want us to go out because it always starts raining, but it's seriously becoming too much. Out of the nights we've decided to go out I can only remember one where it didn't rain right before or as we were leaving. To stick to the trend as we waited very patiently for Petrina (my Ghanaian sis) to get dressed it started POURING even though it hadn't rained all week. It slowed down enough for us to leave finally and as we left the ISH parking lot all the lights in it and the 2 surrounding buildings went off. (I don't know what He is trying to say). It was cool but raining on and off so after we decided to leave we hit up Tantra and just kind of chilled the rest of the night, nothing too hype. The next day I stayed home until late in the afternoon and as soon as I got dressed..you guessed it it started raining..anyways. I met up with the guys and we went to an area near my house for Kwesi's (I wont use his nick name) birthday drink up. They cooked good food and we sat around just talking out side then went home pretty early. Sunday was chill, two of the girls and I watched movies on a friend's labtop and just listened to music as the lights went off for 30 minutes or so.
This week has been pretty routine with my classes. I have ALOT more free time now that one of my classes is done meeting but I've found different organizations to give my time to so it's cool. Yesterday after dance class El and I decided to go to On the Run (pizza/chicken/burger/ convince store) for 2-for-1 Tuesdays. As you can imagine it was more than packed and our wait for pizza was over an hour, but chilling in the parking lot brought interesting conversation. A few of the Pentagon boys met us there ( at the perfect time to shoo away some guys trying to spit game) and they got pizza from a further On the Run and came back before our pizza was done..and theirs was deep dish. We all went back to ISH and of course at the site of pizza others joined in. After good conversation they left and the four of us remaining played scrabble and talked until 4a.m. There is never a bad day spending time with my friends here. Almost everyday someone gets on someones nerves but thats to be expected and we start all over again the next day. This weekend my group is going to Kumasi, so next week I will bring you another adventure outside of Accra.
