Well hello!

It's been awhile since I've written here. Contrary to that fraudulent email you may have received, I am not in London where, desperate for funds, I might still be taking advantage of cooler temperatures, electricity and decent internet.

Nope, tempted as I was to take a return flight home with my eema, I'm still in Senegal. And, actually, my mom's visit replenished my hug quota enough to tie me over at least another few weeks. I'll put some pictures from her trip on Picasa eventually so that you can see the wonderful things we did while she was here. Maybe you'll even be inspired to plan your own trip. (Seriously. Come see me. It's only Africa. I need hugs.)

On the work front, things are slowly picking up. More people are starting to talk about doing a waste management project. Starting to talk is not starting to do, but I take what I can get. There's also talk about me tutoring some middle school girls in English (can't shake that damn ling nerdiness) and that might develop into an English club next fall (maybe.) And finally, for shits and giggles, I've offered to paint a mural at the Catholic health post. Oooh, arsty.

And that's about it for now. I'll try to post this week about more interesting goings on.
