so i leave Dakar bright and early tomorrow morning.
in the last few weeks i've really been falling in love with my host family, feeling more at home here, and realizing that after i leave in december i will probably never see them. life is random like that - people can come into your life and then never come into your life again. it has been really great getting to know them and to be able to share their lives with them... but its going to be really sad to say goodbye.
i'm starting to get a little nervous about tomorrow... i'm excited to spend a week in Joal which seems like a cool city... but it may be an awkward week, living with a random family for a week and attending a conference with my supervisor who i have yet to meet. i basically am bracing myself for a lot of awkward moments in the next 6 weeks or so. language barriers can make things really awkward... especially when i'm already awkward to begin with. okay, how many times can i say awkward.
last night was a great last night in dakar... finished with about 8 of us cramming around a huge bowl of macaroni in a friends courtyard under the stars at 6 in the morning. oh, senegal.
i'm not sure how much, if any, internet access i'll have for about the next month or so... but if there is - i will try to keep you posted.
ba beneen yoon.
