pub crawl

Lat night, I went to a pub crawl sponsored by Champs Bar. I was a little worried that I was not going to have much fun since the people I was going with got stranded in the middle of Ghana on a broken down bus. It was awesome without them, though. We started at 4pm at Champs. We got our T-shrts and piled into an old school tro-tro. By old school I mean a truck with 2x4s for seats. The thing only went about 30 miles per hour, but felt like 90.

We went to ten bars and had a drink at each. At bar #4 somebody puked. It was not me, but someone wrote on my shirt, "puked at Ryan's Bar". Later, the found the real vomitter and added to my shirt "wrongly accused".

I met tons of people. I would be more descriptive, but I am still recovering from the crawl.

missed exam

Ok, taking classes here is frustrating, but I have gotten used to it. When the exam schedule came out I knew that it was bound to change since no times or locations were included. What I did not expect was the date they begin to change. I checked the schedule last friday afternoon and realized I had just missed my first exam. Not really sure what I can do about. Hopefully, I can make it up since the whole grade is based up on this exam.

weight loss ghana-style

I arrived to Ghana weighing 155 lbs. Since then, I have lost a considerable amount of weight. Ever since I had malaria I have not had an appetite. I have to force myself to eat.

I am now about 125 lbs. and none of my clothes fit me. I think I will go to the doctor this week.

still alive

Ok, Things are going well here. So well, that I just can't seem to find the time to sit in front of the computer and update my blog.

That will soon change. Classes are over. Finals beginning and a good percentage of my friends here will be leaving. I don't have a place to live after the 20th of December, but I am sure that I will figure something out.

I also missed my first final exam. They change the dates of finals and I found out that a exam I was supposed to have on the 21st of Novemember was actually on the 17th. Not good!

I will be posting more pics and entries soon, so keep watching.
