shit's real

so i was eating breakfast with sam this morning. pancakes, a nice change from the usual giant egg shandwhich i get from esther and agnes (<3). and all of a sudden, i have to shit. like, not a joke, i fucking have to shit. now, i had visited the bathrooms at akwafo before (where we were eating), and not only were like 14 people sleeping outside the bathroom, but it was probably the most god awful smell i've ever seen. i could taste the shit. im pretty sure i got a parasite from just walking in that room. so those bathrooms were not an option.

SO, i decide i need to walk back up to volta (my dorms). Because i don't know of anywhere closer, and there is guaranteed toilet paper (a rare delicacy in ghana). its about a 3 block walk uphill, and i am booking it. like, no one walks fast here, cause its hot as balls, so i'm pretty sure everyone i passed was like "oh shit obruni is about to poop herself". THEN i got SUCH bad stomach cramps from holding all my shit in, and had to bend over about the last block to my dorms. 

(side note, i had borrowed my roommates white linen pants. there was a scenerio in my mind in which i had to explain to her that i had accidentally shit in her white pants. my bad.)

i finally get there, run to the bathroom, and take the most necessary poop of my life. 

i think this may be karma, because every time we talk about our bowel movements (average 6 times a day), i am always like "dude, i still haven't gotten diarrhea. im regular as shit (literally?). sucks for you guys." 

anyway, crisis averted, here's a cool video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wA5bDPYP98
