So good news ands bad news: good news is that the kid in my program doesn't have malaria! bad news is this is how we learned that every toubab that goes to a hospital gets diagnosed with malaria regardless of what's really wrong bc they just assume we haven't been taking our pills. Nice.
Anyways, spent the weekend with a bunch of classmates, they came to visit me in Ouakam to go to the market and the beach. It was really nice and relaxing just to kind of roam around and get to know the area together. Saturday night, we had dinner with our program director (who has since returned to America) and after we did a little belated birthday celebration for me, which consustred of buying cheap wine and ice cream and consuming them both atr the beach and at My Shop, the toubab hangout. Next weekend; we mght explore the club scene, theres a salsa dance club/bar that's allegedly where everyone here goes so we might try that out...I'll keep you posted.
This morning when I was out jogging I met an American who's based in Senegal with the Peace Corps! Very random, but fun to speak English with someone. We passed each other and were both clearlt so excited to see another foreigner that we both stopped midstride to talk.
Other than that...not too much else new to report! I start classes at Cheikh Anta Diop today wich is great so hopefully all will go smoothly there. I don't have a ton of time to post this morning but I promise I will write again soon. Ba beneen yoon
