the key to a social life in...anywhere but America

I bought a soccer ball at the market about a week ago to give us something to do in the ample free time that we had, and in no time we were being stopped by Ghanaians and international students alike, who invited us to kick around or join their games. The best part of this, though, was that Kristen and I were stopped by this guy named Immanuel, who invited us to join the girls' team for Legon Hall ("the premiere hall"--sounds like we chose the right one!). So today I had my first soccer match since senior year of high school (unless you count intramurals, I guess). It was great, though people seemed to be surprised that I've played soccer before, I think because I'm white, American, and a girl. haha. But I've made a lot of friends with the girls on the team, which is nice. My roommate Claudia says I need to make friends with more Ghanaians and not just these crazy Calvin kids.
