classes and teachers

so i havent writen in a while but i have more hurt spots on my hands from laundry and the like. who knew doing your clothes could be such a challenge. I think that i have finallized my class schedule. it sucks but i think it will be alright. it gives me no time to travel but the classes are good and i am doing some other interesting things on campus anyway so maybe traveling is not as important. i am in two student productions for the semester. one is a masters students work on possession dances and the dance he is making is following that model. the other is a senior project that they started last semester and i dont know what it is like yet but will learn tomorrow. all i know is that there is a lot of front rolls. hehe. i am taking dance technique, traditional african dance(and learning a dance that i learned part of in high school,) dance composition, drumming (the most dull classever but i need a music class for the dance major at bard) human rights in africa, which should be cool, and philosophy and the contemporary african experence. please dont mind the spelling in all of this. this last class would be so cool if we could hear/ understand the teacher. i am thinking of calling him Mr. Mummbles, i am calling my dance teacher Prof. Doesnt Talk. its funny i knew there would be a language barrier from twi to english but not english to english.
i have met two wonderful dance friends here so far that are at the university with me. they are in my dance classes and are sweet sweet girls. its funny thought because girls here are typically more reserved then boys so you become friends with boys first, like my friends Lenny, Ernst, and Faisal (also from dance) but these two are so fun. one is named Ama and the other is Suzette. they both are funny as all get out (you would love them) and both have british accents from living in england for some time. suzette is always talking about going back there, and ama is jamacian ghanaian (she is lighter and no one believes that she is african.) the three of us are a sarcastic mess!

i think people think that is cool that i can do the dances here but also most people in the university have not been dancing that long, only since their freshman year.

my composition teacher mentioned John Cage yesterday, that was cool, and i am just trying to make it through without eatting banku or fufu or anything else that resembles uncooked dough. till next time!
