Tracy continues to struggle to understand the ways of the University of Ghana. For example, she organized all student internships and transportation for same based on the recently-posted exam schedule. What she failed to understand (and nobody bothered to say) is that the posted exam schedule was only the FIRST DRAFT! Times and dates changed when the final schedule was released, thereby throwing internship plans into disarray. With students already working at their placements, it is impossible for Tracy to re-organize everything. She had to back away, telling the students to figure it out themselves.
Another area of constant concern is the accounting system. Tracy has been trying to pay for office and classroom rental, but it is unclear (a) where the university should be paid and (b) whether anyone actually wants to accept a check. Work continues!
Health-wise, the family is mostly back to normal. Catherine went to school today. Mark is ready to do the same. However, tomorrow we’re planning to travel to Brenu Beach again, so both kids will miss.
