saturday

so things are going pretty well...life is starting to feel routine and im really starting to feel at home with my family...last night mohammed even told me...tu as la peau ameicaine, mais tu as une coeur malienne...quite the compliment if i do say so myself...i even made tea, all three cycles, all by myself, with a lot of instruction, the other night...it took the better part of three hours, but it was good...

im trying to decide about my isp topic..im really intrigued by the joking cousin relationship, but that doesnt really have anything to do with gender and development, the theme of this program...but i could probably make it work...my bambara is SLOWLY improving...i can almost make sentences...my french is not really getting that much better, i think ive resigned myself to the fact that i suck at languages...also im convinced my french teacher exists to annoy me...he is sooooooooo bad!!!

ok, im trying to upload pictures with this post, lets se if it works!
