Email Frustrations, Integration, Leaving Town,etc

This is me integrating...sideways, sorry. Thecomputer I'm using today isespecially horrible...boo! This isa picture of me integrating in my new Senegalese complet...like it? I wore it to the Centre today and itwas quite the rage, haha. I love the fabric and while the zipperisalready broken and I need to resewsomething, it's supercute.

Hey. So Iwrote a huge mass update email with details about my site assignment, but both gmail and this computer are not working for me, so I had to waitabout 20 minutes forit toNOT open thedraft email. This meansI will notbe sending out official details about my site assignment until I get a good internet connection, which may not be for anothertwo weeks, sorry. Just know that I'mgoing to the Delta and will benear Foundiougne, my department capital,solook it up. I'll have to take a Ferry between Foundiougne and my village of just 300 people.

I'm heading out of town tomorrow morning for ten days on what is called Community Based Training, basically 10 days of intensive language trainingwith my fellow Serere, and a language teacher (not our normal teacher who is very pregnant) to visit and stay with a current volunteer and see what village life is really like. Thisis the first timePC Senegal has done something to thisextent...they usually do a 3 or 4 day thing at the start oftraining, so it's a bit of a logistical fiasco, but we are all super excited and scared (trainees and trainers alike). I'm going to meet the Volunteer who will be my closest neighbor thisnext year and hopefully see my future site!

Love you and miss you! Also,letters should stop inabout two weeks and Iwill mailout a newaddress formail when Ireceive it.
