Christina, you were right. The cocoon is fantastic. These sheets smell very interesting and it's nice to have something that forces me to wrap myself up (preventing mosquito bites > being too hot to sleep).
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I uploaded pictures on Facebook yesterday, so you can check those out. I have over 100, but I only had 10 minutes left on my session, so I picked random ones. I had a chance to look at the ones I uploaded, and I think I picked the most boring ones, like pictures of where I'm staying and stuff like that. I'll have to go and label the pictures so they're not AS boring.
I submitted my primary application and now I'm starting to get secondary essay questions. Transcribing these interviews is proving to be a total pain, and it takes really long because I can't always understand what they're saying. I think it's good for me, and I'm getting better!! I definitely need to learn more Twi. The stuff I know so far (thank you, how are you, etc.) comes up in conversation ALL THE TIME and I would definitely feel more included if I could understand just a few more small-talk things. Kids love it when I say 'mente twi' ('I don't speak Twi') and they always babble at me in Twi after I say it.
OK Time to find food. As far as Eva and I can tell, Ghanaians hardly eat. When they do eat, it's 70% carbs, 10% spicy sauce, and 20% protein (chicken). Cheese is expensive here and sometimes a little moldy but I don't care. If I can't have milk, ice cream, or cottage cheese, I deserve some expensive cheddar cheese!!!
Every post should begin with "Christina, you were right."
