Last Week in Ghana

Well, this is officially my last Sunday in Ghana, and tomorrow is my last Monday, making all of this my last week here.  I'm leaving in six days and could not be more excited.  It's not that I hate Ghana and can't wait to get out of here (as many people think is the case of those of us leaving early), but rather that after four months of being away, I'm ready to go back to the States/have a ton of stuff to do for the summer/life in general. 

Lately, I've been ridiculously bogged down with work.  I've lived in the editing room making a documentary about ice cream and have been paper writing out the wazoo.  Amidst all of this work, I'm trying to make sure I have gifts for everyone and still have fun.  

Yesterday, we took a group trip to Wli Falls.  It was phenomenal.  Really, so much fun.  The group was great, the waterfall was beautiful, and it was just generally a nice break from everything.  Once we got back, the other dorm, Solomon's, had organized a party, and again a great time.  As time is coming down to the end, I've realized that I really genuinely like everyone at NYU in Ghana and I'm really happy about that.  Even though I'm not besties with everyone, I think that I can count everyone as a friend and I'm thrilled that we'll be able to see each other in the city. 

Okay, off to do work.  Six Days! AHHHH!
