office space

ok. so. monday afternoon and i'm finally sitting in my office at IMANI. last week was nuts.. but the monkey made it completely worthwhile.
anyways. i should be able to blog more frequently now that i have a stable internet source with which to blog and email.
so.
the weekend was great :) saturday the whole family watched "Second Chance" allllllll day long. haha. sunday no one got up for church (surprise.) so we had church in the living room.. which was really nice :)
time here is such a funny thing.. the general attitude is "i'll get to it when i get to it".. which is so different from the attitude at home. at home you start work at a certain time, end at a certain time, have schedules, deadlines, projects, and measureable outcomes.. not in ghana. here you get there when you get there.. and you do things when you do them.. and then you leave when you leave.. haha. it's so flexible.. but it almost has be on edge because i'm never sure if there's something i should be doing that i'm not.
but tomorrow we're headed to the beach!! i can't wait to see the ocean and go swimming and stuff.
.... lots of people just got here.. have to go meet them.. back in a second...
ok. back. not sure what just happened.. there were lots of people.. and then they went to the office next door. anyways.
ummm... i completely lost my train of thought... oh. OH! yes... so my projects for the summer have been determined. i'm to plan another conference (to run in august.. haha.. because that's not difficult or anything.. just throw it together in a month) and create a presentation on Ghana/China relations!!!! oh man. ok that one i'm pumped about. i finished my book on sustainable development and i'm moving on to one about globalized economics and then i'll read the one about china/ghana stuff. i'm so pumped. today i feel kind of useless because i don't know exactly what these projects entail yet- but i'm sure that this is the last time i'll feel that way.
as soon as i think of the things i'm sure i forgot i'll blog again.. for now i should probably at least pretend like i'm being productive.. slacking off on the first day. haha. oh boy.
