progress takes away what forever took to find

for one thing i am totally beat. i painted for 8 hours today and everything hurts ah.
i find it funny that i accomplised as much in one day as my roommate did in 9 days while i was gone.
just a bizarre thought...
i am glad to be back home in wia, but now i am in kumasi meeting eli to go out with david (the med student from a september post) and his friends. sorry for the lack of caps, this keyboard is really difficult to type on. not to mention it took me 9 minutes to upload a website. glorious.
anyway, i have been keeping myself busy the past couple days. my parents come in 4 days, which is awfully weird. i still feel like its months until they come. i think a nice western trip with them will be good for me. i am wearing a little thin with the pleasant facade i keep on regularly here. usually after saying 2 words everyone thinks you're best friends. its actually because i'm white.
i thought the white thing would wear off after 3 months, especially in wia because its a small town, and they see me everyday. but no, i am still followed and yelled after as if it were day one. i told laura once that all the kids come running after you yelling "obruni" and she said "oh, thats so cute." and then i threw up in my mouth a little. i asked eli where she thinks the kids get this from, the obvious answer...their parents, who behave in the same way.
anyway, i don't have that much to say because i've just been doing the same old to past 3 days. i'll write when i have something interesting to say.
