My apologies for the delayed update. I got my phone stolen, and couldn\u2019t get a new one until a week later. Plus there hasn\u2019t been any wifi at the house for the past week now so I\u2019m surviving on some mobile data for the most important things.<\/p>\n
I must admit that the past 2 weeks have been quite challenging for me\u2026 put aside the stolen phone, no internet, plenty of personal struggles and challenges, I feel quite discouraged regarding my field study while writing this post. The stolen phone and lack of internet have really put me back when it comes to reaching my contacts etc. On top of that, my \u201cplan\u201d was to hopefully have conducted all of my interviews by the end of my first month here, that hasn\u2019t worked out. I still only have 4 interviews from one NGO. It is not that I didn\u2019t expect these obstacles, and I always had an open mind knowing there is a big possibility I wouldn\u2019t be able to finish my interviews in the first month. But it stresses me a lot, and me + school-stress is not the best combination\u2026 The one thing that calms me a bit is knowing that I have the possibility of staying here in Ghana a bit longer if I need to since I don\u2019t have anything urgent that I have to get back to Sweden for at the moment. Actually not even until mid-August… But it\u2019s hard when you feel so motivated and prepared and then there are things you can\u2019t control that stands in your way\u2026<\/p>\n
A little different kind of post today, but this is my reality at the moment and I think it is important to share all the stages of this study, both good and not so good.<\/p>\n
To finish off on the positive side, I have managed to go on weekend trips almost every weekend. It has been amazing to see more places in Ghana outside of Accra, I will try to post about it in the coming days!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
