Maangi dekk chi Senegal....waaw waaw.

I can't think of anything exciting that has happened lately. Just me living in Senegal. It's funny how life here seems so normal to me now. I tried to make a list of things that seemed crazy or just really different to me when I first got here, and I had to think really hard. Things that were weird aren't weird anymore.

I come home in less than a month! That is so crazy. But I am really excited. My mom says she has to get up and scrape ice off the car before she goes to work. I can't imagine it being so cold. There were times here when I thought I had forgoten what it felt like to be cold.

I am too tired to write anything cool right now. I couldn't get to sleep last night till 2:30 then for some reason I woke up at 4:30. I had scary and weird dreams. I also got attacked by a mosquito. 9 bites just on one shoulder. No fun. I don't understand how the mosquito got into our apartment since there are screens on all the windows. Such a mystery. So then I sat on my bed for a while and looked at the glowing glow in the dark stars that I put around my room. They're so fun. I finally fell asleep but then had to wake up at 8 to meet my teacher at school.

I am organizing a Thanksgiving dinner for our group of students. Hope it comes out OK. We are lacking some ingredients that would be helpful to make things, but we can be creative!
