so i had a pretty long blog entry typed out and saved on my removable hard drive thingy, but this computer is really old and i don't think it has a usb port. so anyway, here's a quick update: tomorrow i get sworn in as an official peace corps volunteer!! yayy!! we're going to dakar, the capital city, for a ceremony, and the american ambassador to senegal is swearing us in. i guess it's a pretty big deal, we have to get dressed up and stuff. i got a new outfit, traditional senegalese style. i'll put some pictures up eventually. people will start moving to their sites this weekend, and i start making my way to my site on monday. i'm not allowed to put online where my site is exactly (or the name of it) for security reasons i guess....but i can tell you that it's way up north, practically on the mauritanian border. it's a small town of 3,000, with a pretty large surrounding rural community. i'm pretty excited about it. i only have a few minutes of internet time left, so i'll writ emore about the end of training and my site and sutff later! hope all is well at home!
