Now, let's say I were to be coming home in ver y little time... what would I do?


FREAK OUT!

That's all. I'm freaking out.

see you in 9 days... (technically in full 24 hour periods, or I'm still just at 10)

The long awaited pictures... if the internet is fast enough to upload them!

Well, I'm trying to upload pictures of our trip to Casamance, but the internet is not being too helpful for the moment.

I hope they will work, but I can't promise. Its the thought that counts, right?

16 days. 4*4 or 8*2... anyway, not much time left!

And Update everyone means Juan carlos and Christina. The others are still leaving after me.


WELL \LOOKS LIKE THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK, SO I'LL DESCRIBE THE PICTURES TO YOU..

1. JUAN CARLOS IS NEAR A TREE, CROUCHED DOWN AND RUNNING. HE IS TRYING TO CATCH A BABY CHICKEN. HE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, BUT THE OTHER GUY CAUGHT ONE AND GAVE IT TO HIM.

2. THIS IS AN OLD SEWING MACHINE. ITS THE FLIP KIND THAT WE HAVE IN MY LIVING ROOM, BUT DON'T USE. THEY USE THIS.

3. THIS IS LUCIEN, THE CUTEST BOY ON THE PLANET. HIS SMILE LOOKS LIKE THAT OF AN EVIL GENIUS. I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE IN CARTOONS, BUT CAN'T PIN WHICH ONE IT IS. HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO LEAVE. I WANT TO TAKE HIM HOME.

4.THESE ARE SOME FLOWERS FROM OUTSIDE MY HOTEL ROOM. ORANGE PURPLE, GREEN AND BLUES... BEAUTIFUL. I STAYED HERE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO COLD AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE BY PEOPLE. GREAT NIGHT.

5.THIS IS A PICTURE OF JUAN CARLOS, CLOVIS AND I. CLOVIS IS A SELLER WHO RIPPED US OFF, BUT WE STILL LOVED HIM. WE SAT AND TALKED TO HIM UNTIL 2 IN THE MORNING ONE NIGHT. EXTREMELY PHILOSOPHICAL. WE ARE ALL IN HIS SHOP CALLED THE GOLFER. HE MAKES STATUES OF... YOU GUESSED IT... golfers!


WELL, I hope you enjoyed the pictures, I'll see you all soon... 16 dayssssss...

..........

Well, I know I told you I would probably put up some pictures... but I'm not this time. :/ sorry.

Anyway, jazz festival just started in town yesterday. :) Pretty cool. We didn't hear too much, but we're heading back down there tomorrow after my exams.

So tomorrow is a big day. Comparative lit and french lit exam. THen to the tailor to get EVERYTHING. Enchallah.

Tuesday, another exam.

Thursday, presentation + paper due.

Friday, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Anyway, not much left to do. I decided not to do my research project because the "easy" stuff that I have left is not easy, its simply impossible with out the help of the professor that keeps dodging me... so SORRY WISCONSIN, I"m not doing it. :/ Don't hate too much.

OUr first person leaves Wednesday, then Friday, then me on the 28th... and before Andrew gets home I should have
-been to Wisconsin
-worked 3 days
-been to NJ
-Been to NY
-Seen a parade
-eaten all the delicious things I have ever wanted.

:) ha.

Any way, if anyone wants to hang out when I get home, send me a text on the 28th. My number is the same. IF you don't have it, ask on fb. :)

TAKE CARE>

18 days.

pce.

TO DO: revised.

Well then... here it is.


My professor scratched a lot off of the list by not remembering what he told us to do. Bad for him, I guess, good for me.

Emile--read. Now I just have to write a 3 page paper on part of it. EAsy PEAsy!

Paper on student strikes + presentation.

Comparative Lit Exam

French Lit Exam.

African Lit Exam.

Get final grades from professors.


At this point, everything is winding down. Suitcases are slowly becoming packed, money is dwindling... to the point that I have a 375cfa a day budget... (82 cents) which means no spending money besides breakfast (75 cfa - 16 cents) lunch and dinner (150 each- 33 cents each). This is getting pretty pathetic. I have more money, but with the clothing essentials I'll have to buy upon my return, I need all of it!

Anyway.

There are some pictures up on facebook of daara j family. You should check them out.
youtube bayi yoon. GREAT song.

well, dinner time is calling.
