Welcome to my blog!

I just wanted to take a quick moment to thank you all for checking in on my blog-it's a much easier way to keep in touch given my situation for the semester. That being said, please excuse the spelling and grammatical errors that will inevitably show up here-I have limited internet access daily, and I think that the most important function of this travel blog, rather than to showcase my writing skills, is to prove to you all that I am, in fact, still alive! So, I hope you enjoy my posts-feel free to comment and email me (though if I do not respond, don't take it personally! It's a matter of me not having time, not of me not having interest)...and feel free to pass the link along.

March 11

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS my house just got another bathroom.  Apparently, it's been there all along but was just a hole in the floor of a random room in the back of my house but now there's a toilet and a working shower head in there too so now I don't have to go through my grandmother/Tabara's room every time I need to go!  Yay!
Also, Professor Sene just got back from America and brought us like 50 jars of peanut butter so I just had the best brunch ever.  Senegalese peanut butter (pate d'arichide) is made without any sort of sugar or deliciousness so it's just reallllly not the same. 
And finally, today is our official 2 month anniversary...and Monday is our halfway point!  Time has been flying...nothing too epic, but we're all definitely in a routine now (except for our University classes, which are now suspended indefinitely because now, not only are the professors on strike, but the students are too!  And they got teargassed by the police yesterday because they had pellet guns and rocks and stuff and were getting violent.  So...yeah).  And next week we have exams and then Spring Break (I'll be off to St. Louis and Saly) so there will hopefully be better stories for you guys from my adventuring there...ba ci kanam.
