It looks and feels like rain today. A friend called me to let me know that we are going to get hit with the residual stuff of Katrina. Fun times. I'm all registered for classes, have about half of my books, and its all paid for. I'm set, I guess is what I'm saying...

A few adventures...
Last night we found our "attic" when we walked in the house. It was a great surprise because none of us really realized it was there. Great place to store stuff.

I now have electricity in my room! For the first several days that I was here, the breaker was messed up...so I felt like I was living in Dakar again! However, it is now back up and running! Very exciting.

I have found Walmart...and some good eating establishments...and possibly a mall...though I have yet to find a real grocery store! Maybe today that will happen as well.

Classes start on Thursday...oh, get this. So yesterday we all had to take a survey about the school and why we came here and the like...so the first question about why we came here that we had to rate on an importance scale of 1-5 was "To find a spouse." This really is a different world! Hehe.

Ok, well, I am going to try to get home before the rain hits! More to come in the following days!
