Gosh, I can't believe that I'm being able to post again.  It's been such a long time that I'm pretty sure any readers I won would have been long lost.  Now all I have to do is to start from scratch and see how commited I can be this time around.  And then I'll also have to learn to fight the spammers who continue posting ad's at the comment side.  It's so annoying. But that's not what I'm intending to write about now. I'm just so thrilled that I can post again.  I can't say I've been bored - no not at all.  On the contrary, I've been so busy (doing nothing) that I've had very little time to really enjoy my year off.  The irony, however, is that I cannot enjoy myself when I have nothing doing.  You should have seen me the first two weeks I came home.  I almost went nuts with boredom.  Infact, I got so bored that I decided to move around from school to school to see if I could sell some of my books.  It was futile though  because the students were writing their exams then.  But at least it got me busy, and I've been busy ever since then.  I'll try and see if I can write some old entries and tell you what I've been up to.  Believe you me, it's been one crazy roller-coaster of a lifestyle.  First, I went to two camps in a row in different parts of Ghana, walked 20km a day for four days and slept in villages, went for another three day camp walking a total distance of 50km and sleeping in villages for the nights, writing my SAT's, getting a job, applying to colleges, getting turned down rather painfully, learning for the first time that I can actually run 100m, and then trying to do something beyond the normal so that I won't just blend into the normal routine of everyday boring life - eat, work, and sleep.  Boy, I've had loads of fun and crazy days.  Can you believe that I actually managed to gather enough courage to go to a prom not too long after coming home.  It wasn't exactly the kind of prom you guys know about.  Infact, I wouldn't call it a prom at all. Can you believe there were people there in jeans and sneakers.  Was I dissappointed??? I was disgusted.  And we sat there till 11p.m. and you could count the number of people there.  It was so appalling.  But I don't really blame the organizers since a good bunch of them were students.  The only good thing about the night was that I got the pretty damsel home at exactly 12 midnight - just the correct time we had been given to report back home.  I must say it was quite an experience.

Now, I'm working at Ecobank Stockbrokers Ltd as an intern.  The pay sulks but it feels real good working here.  I just can't believe my good fortune.  I'll tell you guys all about that sometime soon.  It's an interestingly long story.  I have to get back to work now and make sure I clear all the backlog of work that I've created myself.  I can't stop being amazed at how lil' me, a so called aspiring engineer/science student has now ended up in a banking environment - much more one to do with the stock market.  It's just amazing.  You should have seen me the first day I was asked to debit and credit ppls accounts.  It was so hilarious.  But I'm doing pretty good now.  So good that I'll one day venture to give lectures on the Ghanaian stock market here on this site.  So you bettter keep on hanging in there.
