ghana to-do list!

I am getting soooo excited for my study abroad this fall! I thought about making a separate blog for everything about my experiences in Ghana, but I changed my mind, since this blog is about my crazy random life anyway, and Ghana fits in perfectly into that.

My close friend from Swat, Isaac, got together with his other friends from Ghana that are in college around us, and they put together a to-do list for while I'm there. I'm gonna use this as a min-guideline of what to blog about/take pictures of while I'm there. I can't wait!!!:
