These were the adventures and ponderings of my six-month study abroad experience in Dakar, Senegal. Now, I'm back in the States and continuing to document and reflect as my college experience draws to a close.

Quick Note
I forgot to mention yesterday that we found out we would be spending TWO WEEKS in a rural village. Not only that, but we will not all be together. There will be two of us per village. There's an odd number of us, so I don't now whether they'll do one group of three or one group of one. Probably three, though. I'm terrified about the rural visit, but I know it'll be one of the most impactful things I can/will do here. I keep telling myself that the benefit of feeling totally freaked out and insecure so much of the time is that I will get more out of study abroad than most people. Yay Africa!

That's the Erica I'm most proud of - able to find the positive and happy in any situation - if you can handle machetes on the beach you can handle anything!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had a lousy day Tuesday. Hope yesterday (and today) was better. For your two week village imbed...be wise, be safe, and savor the experience. I think years from now, this blog will help you remember many of the detailed sights & sounds you experience, as well as your daily growth through the process. LOL
