Haadi neem

Diouf simeem.

Thats right friends, my new name is Haadi Diouf, though I was not fully aware when it was bestowed upon me...ie I dont know when it happened, just that my first morning at my homestay my host brother kept saying Haadi and telling me to bring in the towel hanging outside overnight, after flooding my room with my PC waterfilter...haha. While waiting for the bus to the Centre that morning, the girl living in the homestay nextme (the moms were former cowives before the husband died, I believe) asked my Senegalese name and I said I didnt have one. My host bro, waiting with me thought I was silly and kindly re,inded me it was Haadi. It took another day or so while in Serere class to realize that the last name Diouf, that of my fam, was also something I had to take up. I thought it was Boo yaa or something like that, which actually meant "see you tonight." haha Oh learning a new language...

This weekend I will be going with my host sister to buya cell phone; she is going to "marchander" for me so I dont get the prix blanche, ie double a normal cost of a phone, which I appreciate. I'll let ya know my number if ya ask.

More on the great host fam later, probably§.

For Sunday, Happy Easter (since its tech Good Friday right now).
