Day 20 (thursday) a 1/4 of the way there!

Had a pretty rough time sleeping last night, I had some things and some people on my mind so I decided to listen to some brandi carlile tunes and it helped put my mind at ease. I got up and fidgeted with my phone (looking at pictures and playing some of the games) and then got out of bed just before 7. First thing was to check and see if water was ready for coffee (I was sooooo ready for it today!) so I had my cup then came back to my room (I had to use the restroom wicked bad but Maureen is using it and may be cleaning it, she's been in there for awhile and my eyes are turning brown). Turns out she was washing the laundry. She had to leave and was meeting a classmate on campus and I stayed around the house and put together my notes from the children's home. I got a pretty good start on it and decided to take a nap (my body, and my mind, needed it but shortly after I fell asleep the power went out and it got too hot to be comfortable). I got up and decided to stretch a little bit so I could wake up and have some energy. I got back to my notes shortly thereafter and began writing and putting everything together from this past week. There were some interesting things I saw and further interesting things I learned, an appreciation for different perspectives. I spent a few hours typing it all out and making sure that I got everything down that I intended to. I also wrote down a few more questions to add to my list (the beauty in social work research is that things are consistently changing and being challenged so you must be able to change and adapt with those changes, adding and changing things as they come up). After I finished I decided to walk a ways to a nearby market and get some more water (still going through it pretty fast) and come back to the house. Maureen arrived a short time later and we warmed up some food, after the power came back on, for dinner. Today was pretty dull but I still loved writing everything down and I will surely go back to the children's center before I go home. Today's entry will remain short and I am getting to bed earlyish because we are going to head to the bus station early in the morning and will take a short 4.5 hour bus ride to cape coast for the weekend and I am very much looking forward to it.
