Actually today!

So here's today's post after all that! I woke up nice and early from my home stay in Pout for our ride back to Thies. Well our 'ride' was supposed to pick us up at 8, but around 9 we were still sitting around waiting. Right when i was going to call Lamine to see what was up, the Peace Corps land cruiser rolled up with Shelia, Dorthy, and Steve on board. We zipped round to pick up kevin and thomas and then went back to Thies for our language class for the day. We only had class for half the day as we found out in the afternoon where we were going to be placed for our two years here in senegal. So me starting this here blog today is kinda fitting as i found out that Kedougou is where ill be going assuming i make it out of training. The language classes are progressing, right before coming back to Thies we had a evaluation which placed me at novice medium. We have to be at intermediate low by the end of training so i think its doable.
Korite was yesterday which was a interesting affair. I got to run around in my boubou for most of the day which was interesting as it was quite a specticle for a toubab to be running around in one, toubab is woolof for foreigner/white person i believe and we get it alot in Pout from the little kids.
Korite for thise playing the home game is the end of rahmadan, so it basically means that everyone can now stop fasting during the day and eat breakfast and lunch again. Oh yeah not alowed drinking either during the day. At about 720 everyday my family would break the fast with bread and coffee which was awsume, even if i wasnt fasting. The korite meal was possible one of the best meals i think ive had. Maybe thats a factor of being in Senegal away from my favourite foods but it was damn good. Chicken marinated in garlic and onions with a bunch of spices. Sooooo good and lots of it! Other than the eating and going to the mosque, which was a interesting experience also, it was alot of sitting around. It was cool, it was like all the other days, lots of sitting around, thats the african way. Everything is ubber laid back which is kinda cool, just takes some time getting used to as i walk really really fast everywhere and try to be on time. so i clash a little bit currently. Ill get used to it as it seems liek the way to be when its sooo hot during the day.
So it was a fun on korite even if we didnt get up to much. But back at the center it was nice to be back with TP and a shower as ive been taking my bucket baths in the turkish toilet since my 'shower' room is clogged up. We had our language class followed by a brief session on peace corps administration. Right after that they took us to the basketball court that happens to have a large map of senegal on it. We were told to close our eyes and we were placed over the area where our site will be, and my site was kedougou. 16,000 people and in the south east of the country. about 15hrs away by car rumor has it. We get to find out tomorrow as were going there for our PCV site visits. should be interesting. well we leave at 7am tomorrow so im gunna go, ill prob write again in about 10 days.
