Last Full Week Here!

This week has been pretty calm in terms of adventures. In school this week, the students are taking their end of semester exams. That makes for a pretty lame week for me. There is not much I can do and the teachers only give out one exam a day, so I have a lot of down time. I went to school on Monday and worked on the last few assignments for me degree!! Crazy! Tuesday, I visited the other "high school" Teme International School, which was very nice and I also visited the kindergarten! That was crazy! Wednesday, I went to school again and helped with the exam, which means I passed out and collected exams. Then, I typed some things for Esther. I used my amazing typing skills she is oh so impressed with. After school, we went to the market to pick up our clothes we had made which look amazing! I could not be happier! I wish I could get more made. We have some money from a memorial fund that we need to spend to help improve the education here. We chose to spilt the money and buy books and also maps and atlas for each school. Yesterday, we went and did that. Last night, we went to our pizza place, Bisicilla's for the possibly the last time. Today is Farmer's Day. It is a day that farmers are recongized because, until recently, farming was the #1 job in Ghana. It is now the 2nd. We are taking full advantage of our day off and going to Accra to do some last minute shopping and visit a museum! Tomorrow I am going with my teacher to do some more shopping in town then I am going to her house for dinner and to say the night. Sunday, she will bring me back bright and early so a few of us can hopefully go to church and later in the day we are planning to make fabric! After that, we are going out for pizza at another place. These next three days are going to be so busy!
