I've just been listening to She & Him wishing I owned their newest cd, or could download it but the internet is way too slow for that!
I got my site today!! I'm so excited and yet incredibly nervous and I have no clue what to expect about my site. I'm going to Aram which is in the north right by Mauritania and it's incredibly conservative but there is a river there so I'll be swimming quite a bit- but I hear you have to wear pants when you swim because knee's and ankles can't be seen, granted this is what I've heard and all of this is subject to change once I get up there and see for myself. Which I should be doing that next week I believe. Tomorrow I leave for my CBT site for 3 days then I come back to Thies then our Village Visits - I think. I'll meet the girl I'm replacing once I go on my village visit too.
So far I've had an incredibly large amount of seminars, tests, classes, hands on experience etc. etc. I've made a mudstove in my site with my fellow group members (bout 3 others), made a community map, and actually grew things in our school's garden!! We painted a mural at the school but they're on vacation so we can't get into the classroom right now, but insha'allah.
I'll post more details bout the site after the visit! And I'll post pictures soon, I forgot my charger at my families house.
Good luck my sweetheart, please let me know if you need me to send you any thing you want. Let me know what is your new mail address.
