So I've been back in Ghana for a month since Spring Break...

Here's an abridged version of things that have gone down:

• I am no longer working at the LRC for reasons not worth mentioning.
• I'm getting really, really tan from going to the beach. Seriously. It's not really me. I'm not glowing in the dark. Amazing I know.
  
• Continuing with schoolwork. Time to start writing term papers and whatnot. YES! So excited!
• I went to Benin (and Togo, but only because you have to go through Togo to get there) with Anna and Jackie. It was pretty cool. It's a Francophone country which meant awesome baguettes. In other news, I rode many Motos (their form of taxis) and did not die. I also stayed in a stilt village which was semi-unsettling, but again I survived, and it was very cool.
• I possibly got malaria. I guess this one is kind of a big one. I went to the hospital here and they decided to treat me for malaria. I finished the treatment, but am still sick so now we're on to antibiotics. Sweet deal.
• I have seriously started craving bizarre American foods. Despite the fact that I am sick right now, there is nothing more in the world that I want than a Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla. Hopefully, I will not be lactose intolerant by the time I get home from this severe lack of dairy products in Ghana.
  
• I will be returning home in less than three weeks (there's a countdown for you mom.)
