I've decided to start this blog to keep you all updated on my "aventures sénégalaises," as one might say in French. For now, I'm working my way through the immensely large packet of articles on development, study abroad, Senegal, and global citizenship, provided by MSID (Minnesota Studies in International Development, the program through which I am studying abroad). I've been getting all my shots and everything I need to be prepared, though I can't say I'm excited to start taking my anti-malaria medication. I absolutely can't believe I only have 12 days until I leave: it's so soon and yet I feel completely unprepared, despite all my attempted preparations. At the moment all I'd really like to do is curl up with a good book and some chai and look out the window at the cold (though not by Iowa standards) grey Portland day. Yum. Fear not, though: twelve days to go still means twelve days to prepare...everything.
Peace,
Heather
Nice alliteration. Maybe starting to believe you're actually going!
ReplyDeleteheather, this is kind of unrelated, but I named my study-abroad blog practically the same thing, only "nantaises." I can't believe you're leaving so soon... make sure to take care of yourself & keep us updated!
