It's Good to Be Home!

Hi everyone!

I've made it home safely.  I was not delayed by Obama's arrival, but I do blame him for the frisking I got in the airport!  Oh, it's so great to be home!  I got some delicious sushi and salad, and I'm starting to get back into my daily grind.  Sam and I spent the weekend in Atlanta having wonderful meals and seeing the aquarium.  Also, for anyone who has not heard my exciting news, I got a graduate school fellowship!  I had a great time in Ghana, and now I'm back to the mundane: grocery lists, unpacking, getting ready for school to start.  But I'm actually excited about that; I missed my routine!  I'll post pictures on facebook for anyone who wants to take a look!  Hope to see everyone soon.

Break Out the Bubbly!

Hi, all! Apparently Obama is coming this evening, so hopefully I'll be well on my way before stuff gets crazy. Rumor is that they're going to start closing the roads at 4p. Dimas, one of the UFS guys here is going to be helping with security; he's so stoked. It's 6:30a here now, and I should be on my way to the airport any minute now. I should be in New York at 5:00p, Atlanta at midnight, then in the bathtub exfoliating from shortly after midnight until 10a. Sam and I are staying the weekend in Atlanta, maybe going to the aquarium (finally!). So I'll be home Sunday evening and expecting a hero's welcome :) (and by that I mean sushi and photo slideshow on the bigscreen). See you guys soon!

Happy 4th!

Hi all! Hope everyone had a great fourth. I missed everyone and BBQ! I decided to do something totally American for the fourth, so I went to the Accra Mall, had a chicken sandwich, fries, and a coke, and saw a movie! It was a refreshing change. This weekend I've been doing a lot of shopping in the rain. I'm trying to avoid the temptation of buying every mask I see, because my suitcase already weighs a ton. I have 3 more days of work, then Thursday off to pack, and Friday in the sky! Hopefully I won't get too delayed with Obama flying in on Friday. I'm so excited to go home, and I really don't want to miss my connector in NY! See you all soon.
