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.
