Outside a Small Circle of Friends

Things are moving pretty fast and very slow all at the same time. Currently I’m in the Disco hut, (an circular pavilion that used to have a disco ball back in the 70s) and trying, unsuccessfully, to connect to the internet. Some people are having problems but no one seems to know what’s wrong with mine. Kyle, you may be getting a phone call from me if it doesn’t get better.

Since I finished both of my interviews yesterday I don’t have anything till after lunch which is nice. I stayed up till about 12 talking with the other PCVs; they are such a funny group. Here’s some fun things: one girl went to circus camp, another pilgrim camp (all when little), we have a few duel citizens. There are also a few dancers, so they may whip me into shape and I won’t be such a tragic dancer when I get back to the states.
Lots of musical talent too…guitar, drums, various band instruments and drum majors…the other OSU person knew Stew. Also, get ready for this….. one girl plays the saw. YES! the saw. This is not some weird instrument I mean use a bow on a legit saw. Trust me I asked loads of questions. She’s super cool girl, never played a string instrument but just saw it once (ha ha get the pun?) and decided to learn. She hasn’t found a saw yet to use, but I’ll definitely be writing about it once she does. Maybe even video….
Needless to say I feel very lacking in the cool category. I haven’t busted out the super awesome jumping through my leg yet though!!! SO IMPRESSIVE I’m sure everyone one will be so amazed. Anyways, loads of people here have done crazy traveling, things I would love to do, and also stuff I’ve never heard of. Here’s hoping I come back with some pretty cool new talents… I mean I’ve got loads of time.

Just for quick info after lunch we have into to Wolof then cross-cultural training.


( update now that I can get on the internet)
Not sure what went right…Kyle you may still get some tech related phone calls.
I think my language test could have been better but let’s hope it was good enough. We’ll find out on Sunday what language we’ll be learning. The other interview was job related so they can figure out where to put us. )
