So...school......not a good week. Things have happened that shouldn't have. Everyone is hurt deeply. It hurts to come to work everyday. School (to me) has become an unhappy situation. I'm stressed. I'm tired. I hate feeling this way. So I'm going to bed.

1. School
2.School
3.Did I mention school?
4.My job at school
5.The fact that I have no friends here my age
6.School
7.The drama of school
8.The tailor messing up my order...royally
9.Lunch Duty for the past week...especially today
10. The general mood at school
11.Having to say goodbye
Why life is looking slightly better....right now.....at 11pm:
1.No school for TWO WHOLE DAYS!
2.Play practice tomorrow...hurray for peter pan =)
3.Not having to be around drama drama drama
4.I just found out that my last 2 math assignments were nearly perfect (I'm very happy)
5. I found out that my exams are on the way
6. Christian Bale...nough said
7.My dad who always listens

25 Things That Have Made Me Fall in Love With Ghana
1. The people - how you can't go anywhere without being created with a shout or a smile
2. The way the food sets your mouth on fire....especially shito
3. The music - the way people throw themselves into the music and become part of it.
4. The taste of fresh fruit
5. Eating hot, sticky, stringy green mangos in a tree with my friends
6. Running in the early summer morning when all is still dark and then suddenly it's like God turned on the sund and its daytime.
7. Watching coconut trees sway against the ocean backdrop from atop a castle
8. The feel of dirt as I run around barefoot
9. How generally everyone is so polite to one another
10. The voices of the neighbor kids shouting, "Obroni bye-bye! How are you? Obroni bye-bye!" all in one breath as we walk past.
11. Finding our way through many markets
12. Bartering for everything from taxi to clothe.
13. Fried Chicken and Rice....'nough said.
14. Eating at Papaye's .....despite the horrible service
15. Dancing in a remote village with little children and then having an unspoken dance-off with everyone there...
16. Learning Twi...I love it =)
17. The taste of Coke...the best kind of Coke is the Coke straight from a glass bottle.
18. Going to a Ghanian run salsa club.
19. The heat.
20. The sound of birds in the morning
21. The eyes of a child when you greet them in Twi.
22. Taxi rides!
23. Madina Market
24. The book stores...which is literally a building with shelves jampacked with books (usually in no structured order) and huge cardboard boxes piled as high as me with books.
25. Realizing as you walk down the road that you're actually in Ghana and thinking, "God is so amazing!" and feeling so full of joy you can hardly keep it in.
