Quick Update:

Yesterday I swore in as a Peace Corps voluteer with the rest of my training group at the Embassador's house in Dakar. I can't believe I'm finally free to make my own decisions, go places when I want to go, and finally settle into my own schedule! It's the same feeling as graduating from college-I'm a real person now. Right now we are all still at the training center for the day and then tomorrow we will go to our training villages to celebrate Tabaski until Monday night. At 7am sharp on Tuesday morning, Bonnie and I will pile onto a sept-place (public transportation car) with all of our stuff and head off for the Linguere regional office. We'll both spend the week buying all of the things we need to live for the next 2 years: buckets, mattresses, fans, chairs, food :).... By the way, if anyone has an old sports bra, running/basketball shorts, socks or leggings lying around, let me know! I can't wait to start exercising everyday but I only have 1.5 work-out outfits!

Hopefully I'll be able to get my internet up and running as soon as possible but until then enjoy the autumn and early snow!
