I want to start out by apologizing for lacking in keeping my blog more up to date. I don't think that I have ever found this expression, busy as a bee, to be so true. So much has been going on since I have arrived here at Ghana! Between school, extra-curricular activities, traveling, and volunteering I feel like I am almost ALWAYS on the run, doing something here or there. Not to mention that the internet connection here is not always the most reliable, and I find myself to be lucky on the days when it is working quickly (they are hard to come by). I hardly even have enough time to clean and hand wash my clothes! Therefore, it typically gets done about every 2 weeks, sometimes longer. (Thank goodness for packing lots of clothes!). [:
Washing clothes by hand, boy let me tell ya, it’s quite different from anything I’ve ever had to do before. I hadn’t a clue what I was doing the first time I attempted. Most international students bought plastic buckets to put their clothes in, wash, and rinse them. However, I did not and therefore borrow my dear roommate, Grace’s, bucket. When she's not using it of course. So, with a few trial and errors of using too much soap, not enough, hanging cloths right before it rains, and so forth I think I’m finally starting to figure it out! Though, however good I may become or enjoy hand washing my cloths, it's something that I will most likely Not continue when I return home. I’ve become very grateful for a handful things such as washing and drying machines.
Anyways, onward with what I was saying before, I’m sorry for the long delay in posting a new blog. But! No worries, I am about to catch you up on the many things that have kept me so occupied. Starting with my volunteering endeavor!!!
