The university is huge! I'm excited about working there, but it is a daunting task. Alec and I found a house to live in that is walking distance from the university and the local market, so that's good. The house is pretty awesome and I even have a kitchen. YAY! I can bake! (First, however, I need to buy and oven....but all things in good time).
It's hard to even blog about my time there because it seems like an overwhelming task. Basically it's a big African city just like you'd probably imagine. Dirty, animals in the street, huge, loud, but oddly exciting and pulsating with life.
I'm pretty stoked. Back to homestay today, though. 3 LONG weeks of homestay. Sigh....i can make it. I can't wait until training is over. Swear in is September 12 (I think, I can't actually remember).
Shout out to everyone who has sent me a letter or package. Thanks mom and Grandma :) And Thomas, yours is somewhere in the Mali mail system....SCARY ;) Nah it'll come sooner or later :)
Anyway, I'll be awhile before I can get back on I'm guessing. But no worries, next time I'm back I won't be living out of a backpack and I'll actually have a house WOOT!
Gypsy on!
