are people still checking panim? i actually found a good internet connection. after i get back from the village this weekend im gonna post up some photos of people, places, projects etc. its easy to take good photos here. i find most everything interesting. ive also found my speech is starting to change. my statements are completely different cause there are so many language barriers. also while writing this i have a 500 ml bag of water hanging from my mouth. most common source of cleanish water (chlorine and plastics in it) = the water sachet. 40 of them cost 1 cedi ( about 80 cents). a big solid meal cost about $1.50-3 on average. and a standard beer is 700ml!! its a bit overwhelming. its like getting served a forty whenever you have drink. another interesting thing... i almost chopped my left pointer finger off. well chopped off is an exaggeration but it was the deepest cut ive ever had. saw the bone. just missed the tendon. at the knuckle closest to the palm. it sealed up really well without stitches but its still swollen and pissing me off. cant apply a lot of force. anyway ya. i should be asleep. technically sick though laying here i feel ok. been working too much cause my other primary team mate just got malaria and is out of commission. the rest of my group doesnt pull their weight. rather frustrating. anyways gotta wake up early. whats up with you guys? give a little update. havent really heard from anyone in a bit... love yall. take care, be well.

Sorry to hear about your finger and your team not pulling there weight. It sounds like you're having a pretty intense experience there in a good way, but sometimes a difficult way. As for me, I just got back from a trip down to North Carolina and Florida to see Jared and our friend Dave. We finished tracking my EP which will hopefully be ready for release in the Fall. We recorded 3 songs in like 2 days, it was crazy. I'm working a week of camp at Omega this week, then going down to the city for the QN5 Megashow on Friday. Then I'll be back in Woodstock briefly and then to Fire Island with my fam for the week of the 10th, probably with some other people coming to stay at times. After that, one more week of camp and then chillin til we go back to school. When do you get back from Ghana?
