Today in my honors seminar there was a guest lecturer from Ghana. She taught us about her research about Ghanian children's singing games and how they relate to education. She also told us that Ghanians get their names based on the day of the week they were born and their place in relation to their siblings. Hence, Kofi Annan's name signifies that he was born on a Friday, and that he is the fourth child in his family.

did you close your window:)
yeah, i'm not sure what was worse, keeping it open and allowing more smoke to come in or trapping in what was already in and breathing it all night.
*painfully* good point. I was glad to know the explanation for the unending sirens id been hearing.
