So yesterday was quite the day. I woke up way to early and feeling kind off. But decided to go on our run anyway, but we were all feeling tired so we only went 15 minutes. Anyway, this English class we had been considering taking had been posted as being at 9:30 on Monday and also 10:30 on Wednesday, so we decided we would go on Monday to check it out and see if it indeed could be on Wednesday. So anyway we got to the English department around 9 and there was no room number listed. So we asked about it and she said now it was at 10:30 on Monday in room 4. So we walked back to ISH to get some stuff and then came back and walked into room 4 where a class was already taking place. Awkward. So then that same lady was like go look at the time table. It had been changed again! Now it said only Wednesday at 10:30. She told us where the professor was so we went up to see him. Mr. Amuzu was not too helpful. We tried to ask him about the time for the class and also pointed out that the 10:30 start time put it in conflict with all other university classes which start on odd hours. He basically said we would figure it out whenever we all met in class, but that he probably wouldn’t be there this week, which means it would be really tricky to add another class if it didn’t change. We were all sort of frustrated with the crazy system so we decided to not do our accra trip but get some things done in Osu. We tro troed there and got a cab to the US embassy. This was pretty fun and not as difficult as we thought and we all applied for absentee ballots and found out what we can do if they don’t arrive so that was really successful. Then we went to the Egypt air office to try and figure out the ticket situation but they were not helpful at all. L I really want to go and for that to work out. Then we went to have lunch and Katie and I waited forever and 3 years for our pizza and finally I went up and they had it but just couldn’t find us! Then we went on a search for this bookstore. The signs took us in this ginormous square but we finally got there and it was fun. We all got books and we plan to pass them around. Right when we were about to leave it just started to down pour hard core! We waited awhile but it just kept coming so we decided to walk in it. Apparently Ghanaians do not go out in the rain because everything had just stopped. Everyone just kept yelling “obruni come get out of the rain.” Finally we decided to get a cab and we bargained it down to 4 cedis. We went to shoprite and got stuff for dinner but it was freezing because we were soaking wet. We made it back to campus, showered and cooked our delicious dinner. We found out that we may or may not have water for the next 10 days so that should be interesting. We filled a bunch of buckets with water just in case. We watched a cool movie dedication and then I spent some time talking with Sophie. It was kind of a crazy day haha!
