Friday!

So after school last night, we got back and relaxed. When I got back and found everyone, I learned that at lunch, the group talked about getting pizza, so we were going out for pizza. One of the girl's teacher told her about a great pizza place not far from us. So we got in a taxi, which was very fun, and headed up there. We got there and got our drinks. Then, while sitting there, the power went out. Sad thing was we didn't have our pizza yet, nor had we ordered it. The pizza place was located right off the main road, and it was outside. We got to sit outside while waiting for the power to come back on. It was pretty cool because nothing seemed to stop. The traffic kept moving as if nothing happened. Then the power came back on and we ordered pizza. It was amazing. I am not really a huge pizza fun, but I could get use to this pizza. We are going out for pizza again on Sunday. SUPER NICE CHANGE FROM RICE. Then we got in the taxi to head back. We were going to stop at the Jazz Cafe, but there was some confusion in the group and the taxi driver was told to take us back. We got back and talk to the guard about it. He told us that the Jazz Cafe is only open a few nights a week, one of them being tonight, so the place wasn't even open if we had gone there. The guard said he will take us. Then we all went to the little talking spot and talk for awhile before heading to bed. Got up this morning and had to be to school early. Every Friday, school starts early for an assembly. Today, they had a lady lawyer come in and give the students an inspiration speech. It was pretty darn good. She also referenced Obama. That went over very well. They also do the school announcements then. They announced the swimming awards. Holy goodness. The students were told to put there awards on. This one guy put on his 4 or 5 awards, then he pulled out another 4 or 5 awards. The students went crazy when he did that! It was pretty cool to see the school spirit! After that, I went to the form meeting. At this meeting, the students in their 3rd year talk about the problems. Their concerns were valid. They were concerned with things like running out of water in the middle of the day and not having internet. They were very professional and serious. It was pretty cool. After that, my teacher and I had a nice chat. We talked about many things, and I learned a lot. She also invited me to her house so I can see another part of Ghana. I am pretty excited. She said she would also like to take me to the Tema market. I cannot wait. So far, today has been a good day. I am hoping I get to hang out with the students after school, maybe nap, and head to the Jazz Cafe. Tomorrow, we are off to Accra for the day. Sunday will be our first day with no major plans, except to go get pizza, since we got here! That's all for now!
