the swing of things

---

Mary is going home to the U.S. tomorrow and mentioned having to go to Meijer's once she gets back, and the thought of it makes me cringe a little. This is how I know I'm getting used to things here.
I go to the market and buy a few things, not more than enough to easily carry, and haggle over prices a bit or chat with the girls there. I wash my clothes in the bucket of water Anna or I carried up the stairs, the same bucket I will use for my shower and dishes later on. I walk a mile down the road to class where I sit at a long, dark, old desk on a long dark old bench, elbow to elbow with six other classmates. It is at least eighty degrees every day, and the nights aren't much cooler.
Last night I went to class at 6:30 like usual, but the prof didn't show up until 8:00- we waited. Apparently this is typical. The Ghanian professors are treated more like we treat doctors in the U.S. than teachers. I wish I could predict this sort of thing more, or at least know what is expected of me. I have my first test on Thursday. I hope I do well. I know that I've learned so much, I just don't know if it will be on the test.

This was at lunch at the Anomabo Beach Resort. We go there almost every weekend to swim in the ocean.

There are goats and sheep everywhere here. Even on the beach.

dorm 1
This our dorm. It's very spacious and came with a fridge and television in it. We've re-arranged and it looks more lived in now, but this is how it looked when we arrived.
