Another AG (if you don't know what that is, go back and do your homework by reading the last post) and another 72 hours of strike. That will take us to Monday, when there will be another AG. Word on the street is that the students are trying to hold out until the tenth when it is rumored that vacation will begin. My vote, as seen last time, is that they're being stupid and ruining my university career. I will be ruined by this (not really, but I enjoy being melodramatic). On a crazy note, I actually worked on school work today! For three hours! It would not take as long if I could read the professor's handwriting, which is horrible!
Baby chevres.
Are
My
Favorite.
I might bring one home. They make my heart bubbly and my body warm. They are SO FRICKEN cute. So, for your viewing pleasure I am loading a few baby goat pictures. I honestly feel bad for you because you don't get to see them every day. They're my inspiration to live. Not really, but they are pretty cute.
And I have a new family. I don't know if I have updated you on this, but I met a tour guide and interviewed him for my research. Then he invited me to his nephew's house. Being slightly daring and probably a little too trusting, I went. Which was a great idea. I'm putting up some pictures of them and their son. They are incredibly nice and invited me to their house to eat again. and Abba, the wife of nephew, helped me buy a sweatshirt, which was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. :D
It's Thanksgiving night. What else do you do besides play elementary school hand/ clapping games? Funny thing is that Modou (on the Left top) was incredibly good and beat everyone.
And once you're tired of clapping games? Dance of course!! This is motion picture... Everyone is breaking it down. Who knows what kind of music it was at this point, but it was amazing. :) and everyone has dance parties for Thanksgiving, right?
Baby Chevre! Eating. Too cute. I feel as if this needs no description.
Another baby chevre. In the bottom left corner, slightly disguised by the tree stump, but still cute as ever.
TWIN baby chevres. You can only see one. But trust me, there's two. and that means twice the cuteness.
The beach that is right next to my new Saint Louisienne family's house. Pretty. They were playing soccer in the sand.
Abba, Stevens (a haitian that the President brought here--he gave scholarships to 160, 24 of which are at UGB.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/14/senegal-haiti-earthquake-student-refugees http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/160-Haitians-to-complete-studies-in-Senegal_8038244 ) He's a really good friend and he's mad that I'm posting this. But I know that you would ask, why is there a Haitian in Senegal? So, therefore I'm posting it. He doesn't personally know the president or anything, and he hates being called V.I.P. But he's an amazing friend and I'm glad I found him! In the front is petit Cheikh. He's cute.
Petit Cheikh starting his career as a model. Check him out.
Petit Cheikh playing in the sand. He's pretty cute (and likes to chase baby chevres)
Abba Cheikh and I.That's how the cookie crumbles.
Let me a note. And send me things. like letters.
Kate
XOXO

ReplyDeletei love that you're at the beach in december. we finally have snow that's sticking. you probably already knew that.
ReplyDeleteyes, they are super cute! you should definitely bring one back with you :)
clapping games are awesome. that's pretty much all i did in mexico because the family i stayed with had really young kids! clapping games and ajedrez.. they were obsessed. and way better at it than i was! but yeah, those clapping games.. they can be more fun than you expect! and more difficult.
keep us updated on the AG tomorrow! i hope you at least get to have a class or two before Christmas break... love you and miss you!
