So with as much work as I have to get done right now, after working for several hours straight, my focus has disappeared and I decided to start prepping myself to return to the blog world (for all 6 or 7 of you who still read this).
So I have been back in Senegal for just over 2 months, if you can believe it. It feels like I've been here forever (or really, never left) and yet it also feels like I just left France. Had I not returned to Senegal, my position in France would have finished well over a month ago already and I would have been traveling/going broke, unemployed, or back serving suburban coffee (sorry CL but it's not as fun as DC coffee). Needless to say, I am happy that this opportunity presented itself and I am "back where I belong," as people told me upon my return to Senegal and Peace Corps.
I have been admittedly pretty terrible with updating and for no good reason, so sorry about that! My parents have gotten spoiled by my sister's relatively recent (a few months) re-entry into the blogging world and she posts regularly and very interesting posts, and then there's me...
.....
crickets
.........
A few weeks pass and they ask me to post something...
...
A few weeks later I finally get around to finishing a bunch of posts I started several months prior. And I get maybe one or two comments per post because people have totally forgotten that I am still alive, abroad, and have a blog. [Can't to say I blame any of them!] That doesn't necessarily encourage me to keep posting, or at least not frequently.
And then there's the fact that I feel the need to change the look and layout of this blog. It was very African, now it's very European, but I need to change it to meet where I am in life: back in Senegal, preparing for grad school in the fall, and an unknown and exciting future in the field of public health. Basically the picture of the towers in Semur holds me to the past instead of enjoying the present and looking forward to the future. Time for a new look!
Any suggestions or design ideas for this computer design illiterate?
btw, check me out!

yay sissy!! Don't be discouraged by the number of comments, I get very few. generally I get none, but by checking out my "stats" I can still see that people are reading and returning, which means more than the few comments.
And besides, I'm one of your 6 or 7 people and I keep coming back looking for new entries, SO KEEP WRITING! :)
I agree with Katie!
Have always loved your blog! It is always entertaining and informative if a little sparse at times.
(I would comment more but thought it might be lame to have your mom making so many comments. :)
