Day 59 (monday)

Woke up pretty early again and got to chat with some pals which was nice. It's nice to have someone like Brett around, keeps me grounded. Apparently Maureen made pancakes this morning so that's what i'll have for breakfast. I have absolutely no idea what else I am going to do today. After breakfast I spent some time in the common room charging my computer and watching more of the same things that I've seen. I came back to my room to lay down and Maureen came knocking and we sat and had a long chat and she was telling me of a person whom she was friends with (she has spoken of this girl several times) that had traveled to the United States and just died in an accident. She was pretty broken up over the whole thing and feeling sorry for her close friend here who was missing her (they were making plans for him to travel to America to be with her). We spoke for awhile after that about everything from traveling to politics and so on. The power is still off and now I will have to go to the supermarket because I am completely out of food. We had planned on going to one of the bigger markets to get food to make but for obvious reasons, Maureen wasn't feeling up to it. She kept asking if I wanted to go to the market and I had to tell her that she didn't need to worry about me and that she should take time for herself, she almost seemed offended and insisted that she would worry about me anyway. I was stubborn with this one (and I think it was best for her as well) and stayed home and she ended up leaving to go to her aunt's house. I needed to get a few things (including coffee!) so I decided to walk to and from gates. I got some more credits for the geek box and then came back home but then I had to go into the common room again and sit with my computer so it could charge. Mostly reruns again and some food (including a pretty successful attempt at making a pancake). I went back to my room (the power is still out in my room) and it was incredibly dark so I chatted for a bit and touched base with a few people. The rain is pretty crazy right now but I kind of like the sound of it. Ah, Ghana.
