Quick post!

Time for a very quick post because I have a 6 o'clock curfew.

THE SAGA OF MY HAIR
so short hair was nice for a while, but back to long hair. I just got it braided with my friends, so yes, i have a weave. and no, i didn't bring my old hair to be put back on.

LIZARDS
There is a lizard living in one of my bedroom walls. He visits sometimes and is very nice.

OUR WATCHMAN
I mentioned our watchman in my last post. Since he is so old and senile, he reintroduces himself to me every night when I turn on my bedroom light. We chat for a while between the window curtain. I tell him my name again and then he speaks for a while in Fantse and I say 'yeaaaah' 'gooood' 'ooooohh i seee'. I think we will be good friends.

THE ROOSTER
There are lots of roosters and chickens roaming around Ghana. However, I think the one that lives outside my house is blind because he does not understand the concept of morning and he crows at 1pm, 7pm, and 3am. Sometimes I want to make him into Rooster soup, but I'm afraid to tell my host mother because I may have already eaten rooster and not known it.

SIIIICK
I had enteritis all last week which was not fun. It's a bacterial infection of the stomach/intestines. So i had my first Ghana hospital experience. It was actually pretty good, I just had to wait a while. I am on lots of antibacterial drugs now in addition to my malaria medication so I am super super clean on the inside.

VILLAGE STAY
This sunday we are going to live in a new village for a week! I'm not sure exactly what this entails but I hope it involves huts. I will be living with a new family and learning about their economy.
aka I wont be able to blog next week but I'll tell you all about it when i get back.

ok, gotta go! thanks for your comments guys!
