Dear Diary... (day 28)

No more clichés, you know what I’m thinking.

I come back to this every week and I always feel the same- I can’t wait to get home but I don’t want to leave! But it’s worse now that I’ve finished my placement as it has really put things into perspective- I’ve actually completed the task that brought me to Ghana after so many years. What I hadn’t anticipated, however, was just how overwhelming this experience would be and how what I’ve seen and learnt extends way past my work at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. I didn’t expect that I’d get on with my cousins half as much as I have, nor did I expect to fully embrace skipping gutters or lights out (don’t know how I’ll live without it…) but 28 days later, I can’t imagine what it’s gonna be like when I get back to SE5.

For now, if you need me, I’ll be enjoying my last few days in the sun.
