Blog? What blog?

Writing a post here has become less and less appealing. Although I can get CCS to pay for my internet time, I'm too Ghanaian now and don't want to make the effort! And sorry about not putting up pictures... uploads are slow and it slows down the entire system in the internet cafe!

An easy way to do things is a day in the life of Silan Abra

5:30am - wake up
5:50am - go for run, all the while continuing to wake up
6:25am - see Francis, my stalker, waiting at the bottom of the hill, who then proceeds to walk me up the hill
6:45am - eat breakfast, shower, change
8:10am - van leaves for placement
8:45am - work at WiLDAF at the moment
12:15pm - lunch (highly predictable food as there's a rotation of about 4 things)
1:30pm - various things: batik or drumming lessons, go to the market, go to the bank, walk around town
6:00pm - dinner (again, highly predictable food as now there are only 3 things that we could have)
7:00pm - seeing as we live in an old folk's home, this is when we start to get tired
7:30pm - look at the clock thinking it's 9 or 10pm
9:00pm - look at the clock and argue that it's really late, proceed to get ready for bed
9:30pm - drink cup of Milo
10:00pm - go to sleep

This past weekend, I had a nice quiet birthday at the house. Only a few other volunteers were still there because most had gone on the Cape Coast Trip. Sunday, we went to Accra for the day where we saw the university, were unofficial guests of the Shangri-la (using their bathroom, having breakfast, then using their car service...), went to the cultural market and Frankies for lunch, all the while navigating the tro-tro system of the city all on our own.

Other than that, everything has been relatively normal. For those who want details, I'll express them when I get back. Another batch of new volunteers came on Sunday. Janelle and I felt old when they asked us how long we've been here and we say 6 weeks. We're the only ones left from our group, which is a little scaring, but we got an uplifting phone call from Becca last night who's back home in Seattle at the moment.

For the next week and 2 days that I'm here, I've got lots to do. Janelle and I are going to Kokrobite for the weekend. It's a drumming village on the beach very popular among the CCS volunteers. So much so, that we've pretty much established CCS Kokrobite. We plan to meet one of the previous volunteers there. We get back Monday morning, on which day another vounteer, Rachel, and I are putting on a CPR clinic. This will happen Tuesday as well. Tuesday afternoon, Janelle and I go to Woe to see the bone healer (the second time for me). Then, because it is imperative that we spend our last night in Ghana in Ho, we come back Thursday afternoon, only to leave :( on Friday. Two months has never gone by so fast.
