Trying to run with Africans? Silly Brittany.

For the past 3 days, I have been getting up at 5 am, to go run with the Volta hall cross country team! Despite the 5am darkness, and the incredible amount of sweat, I'm having a blast. Running with 30 Ghanaians, through campus, just as the sun is rising, with a light drizzle...I smiled at myself this morning.

I've also been playing basketball in the afternoon, which takes my daily shower total to 3. I've been making friends with girls from other halls. They seem to like me so far. I just try to get them to laugh at me...well laugh at me more, since they already find me humorous. Games between the residence halls start tomorrow, and from those teams, players are chosen to play on the school system. I'm hoping I make the school team; some of the girls I've been meeting at the court (who, I think, will help select the school team) said they liked "the height." Being 5'11" might finally pay off!
