Baseball is the Crack of the Bat
Wednesday, August 31
Well, things are finally starting to pick up here in Legon. Classes are officially in full swing (I'm satisfied with 3 of the 4, and will just tolerate the last one). I feel time is not dragging as slow as it had been the last week or so.
The last few days have been productive, at least in Ghanaian terms. I was able to knock out some reading -- no matter where you are, reading for school sucks. I also got my ID card, which is so much cooler than my UCSD one. My school's gotta get it together and make our cards a little more high-tech. I also got my independent study project approved for the semester -- I will try to post it when I get it done.
Today was a great day. Not only did the day move very quickly, but it was capped off by watching -- live -- A's vs. RedSox. It was a thing of beauty, regardless of the result (The A's absolutely destroyed Boston, for those who care). Not only that, but we were able to hijack internet, so we got the feed through my laptop instead of the crappy computers here. Like I said, thing of beauty.
Tomorrow, the whole EAP posse leaves for Cape Coast, again. This time, we'll be checking out a festival before heading to Kakum National Park on Sunday. Should be an exceptional weekend. I'll try to get the pictures up immediately with the post -- I'm anticipating a good set.
Hope everyone is well. Keep in touch.

Hey Lee,
I haven't left a comment yet, but have read every blog entry and glanced at all the photos you've posted; this is the only blog I read on a consistent basis. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
Do you have any care package goodies you'd like for us to send your way, either for yourself or for the refugee camp? I'll (and I'm sure others here as well) try my best to meet your requests. All the best to you!

Failed to mention this in my other post:
GO A's!!!!!!
Just letting you know that I'm reading :) Thanks for taking the time to write-I've really enjoyed following you on this journey. It has actually had a huge influence on me (too long to go into here), but just wanted you to know that I'm reading and thank you.
