I have always hated that number - 14 being my fav obviously. And the number is haunting me. I arrived in Senegal on the 13 of September, I have cubby hole 13 meaning I'm 13th in the alphabet in our stage. My cell number is 221-77-713-3897 (call anytime - I'd love it) and of a possibility of 5 days to be installed at site in Bambey, it will be the 13th of November. Lucky 13 right?
So life is pretty good considering. I have a bit of a stomach ache to say politely. I am thanking Schuelke from the bottom of my heart for the largest 3 containers of drink mix powder. The gatorade is coming in handy today! (as side note - Schuelke, the best former swim coach in WI, set me up with enough drink mix for the next two years, so if you are as kind, don't send any, I'm set!)
So to say again, I am (hopefully) moving to Bambey next week. Hopefully since I still have to pass my oral Wolof exam. EEEK. If not, I'll be hanging out in Thies for another week or two with a private tutor. But about Bambey, I guess it will be more accurate then, but I did get to meet my supervisor and my counterpart last week. They will be helping me introduce myself into the community and seem to be pretty good so far. I don't know that much but time will tell.
That's about all I have time for right now. Keep me in mind on the 13th!
