My teachers are playing hookie.

So this is the first week of classes at the University of Ghana. To bad, none of my teachers have shown up to class. Looking back on the week, it is kinda funny, but while sitting in about my 8th class for a half an hour, praying the prof will show, I can get kinda irritated. I've heard (oh, and everything here is rumor, haha) that teachers spend the whole break grading because there are not TAs and then when it is time for school to start teachers don't show for a couple weeks because they want a vacation...and I'm all for teacher education, I guess? Hopefully next week, more teachers will show. But for now, I've been reading a lot, eating a lot. Food is great here, by the way, not healthy but good. Most everything is fried, or has tons of sugar in it. I have yet to see any type of whole grain. Women sell amazing pineapple on the street, oh and the chocolate! Oh and for breakfast I have been having fried egg sandwiches. I'm starting to get hungry again even though I just had dinner.

I've also been going on morning runs, which feel great, but I do start sweating in like the first few steps because it is so humid. Oh, and my African Dance class has actually been meeting, and that is tons of fun! I never thought my body could move in these new ways before. :-) I'll be teaching my moves when I get back!

This weekend some EAPers are going getting away from campus. My friend Sadie and I decided to hang around Accra (Ghana's biggest city, about 20 min drive from campus) this weekend, there is still so so much to see. We are also planning a movie marathon on Sunday, which I'm really really looking forward to.

I just had a dress made this week, tailored to me for a whopping $10, and that was a little overpriced. I'm thinking I might have something made for me each week! I was pretty proud of myself so I took a picture of myself in it. Okay, okay, I'm a dork.
