08 Feb 12

Today we had our first oral quiz, and I was the first to go of my group. I surprisingly felt pretty confident afterwards. Grace and I practiced on our two tro-tro trip to school today. We probably looked like fools trying to speak Twi. While I was waiting for the other groups to finish up I started to read "Traditional Religions of Western Africa" trying to get an idea for my ISP. I talked to Pappa Yemi about it and he got super excited when I told him about doing something about religion and staying in a village. He suggested doing researching on the combination of Muslim women and the traditional african religion up North. So, I'm pretty excited about that, and probably traveling around to different villages up North to also compare several ways of living.
But then during lecture I had a mini freak out because I need an internship in order to graduate and I really want to do mine with NPR. BUT I feel like I do not have enough experience at all...but it's too late to apply for Summer 2012 scholorships...Anyways we leave for Kumasi Friday morning and everyone is pumped to see a different area of beautiful Ghana!

  1. Way to go, Sammi, first is best. Pappa Yemi gives great suggestions. Anxious to hear about Kumasi. Love, Gma
