Blah.

This week has been very uninteresting. Classes are settling down and everything has a routine. I no longer get lost around campus, I know where my favorite eating places are and getting around Accra is much less frightening. Monday I gave a presentation in my English class with a few others. It went well... seeing as we only met once and didn't really get anything finished. Tuesday, though, Kelly and I went into town to get our Cerebral-Spinal Meningitis shots. We left at 10:15 and took a tro tro all the way to the center of town and then taxied to a clinic. Well, it turned out to be the wrong clinic, so we walked ten minutes to the larger polyclinic. There, the lady at the reception desk said that they were out, and to go to another clinic at the other side of town. So we grabbed another taxi. This driver seemed to have a death wish, weaving in and out of traffic! But we got there a good five minutes faster! the Akai clinic, next to the American Embassy, actually had the shot we were looking for. We waited in line and got the shot (Northern regions, watch out!) we needed to get before going to Mole National Park (why we didn't go a couple weekends ago). Then, Kelly wanted to get a package from one of the post offices. We went to one, which turned out to be the right one, but were told to go to the main office, 15 minutes away. When we found out the first post office was right, we got kind of pissed, but went back to get the package. It takes SO much to recieve a package here! you have to have a photocopy of your ID, then pay import fees, not to mention wait in line. We finally left at about 3:50 and got lunch. After eating, it was rush hour so we had no chance of getting a tro back to campus so we taxied back. Later in the evening it rained again! Going to sleep while it's raining is so nice because it means it's not 80 degrees outside. I actually needed a blanket!! Hipefully it stays this nice all week. Friday it can be dry though, we're heading for Kumasi, the second biggest city in Ghana, up in the central region! Should be a great time! Tell you about it soon :)
