School is in full swing now, I am taking 5 geography classes and a xylophone class. I have also gotten an internship with a group called A Rocha, Ghana. They are a christen environmental organization with chapters around the world. Right now they are having me design a calender for them, which is a bit boring and tedious. Hopefully in the future I will be able to help with more interesting projects, like planting fruit trees on school campuses.
We threw a big party for a fellow students birthday, it gave us the opportunity to meet and talk with some of the other Ghanaians in our building. I live in an all male dorm, americans take up about half of one of the 6 stories. We just discovered that the floor has a kitchen, but a few guys are living in there since there are not enough rooms available.
I have been thinking about what to do for my 6 week winter break, I think I will travel to Senegal with two of my friends from Santa Barbara. That involves traveling through some french speaking muslim countries, which would be new and interesting.
Everything else is working out fine, It is nice to be getting to know how things work around here.
love, Forest

Hey Fo! Thanks for writing about your experiences regularly! We're all ready to hear more!! I've been seeing a show on PBS about a couple who walked the entire length of Africa, bottom point to top, writing about their exp. in each place- i bet they could tell you about Senegal and such!! Their website is africatrek.org
What's it like rooming with Ghanaans??? Love and Hugs, Mom
get back on the posting schedule, pants. i like your style of writing, reminds me of what i like doing on crazy foreign adventures. can't believe the mass number of straight up robberies going on over there, with Pants being the victim! anyway, email or facebook me when you see this, we need to arrange a skype-date or something.
