How the time has flown by since my last post! I know I've been a bad blogger, but with limited internet time, something else always seemed to be more important than updating my blog, but now I'm going to try and post a few more things before I leave! And speaking of leaving...I am officially closing my service as a Peace Corps Volunteer on July 2! That means I should have a few months at home before I have to start graduate school. I'm still holding out for some sort of miracle in which at the last minute another school offers me a full ride, but if not, I'll be heading to Denver in the fall. I'm really excited to get back to America and good food, hot showers, etc, but I'm also going to be sad to leave my friends in Djenne. Especially since I might not see them again for a very long time (if ever!). That said, I'll be trying to put in some quality time in the next two months.
As for work, I've been trying to keep up with the schools, but they seem to be either on strike, on vacation, or playing soccer (the latest reason for cancelled school this week). Also, I've been hoping to finish up an art project, but the teacher has been on vacation since she just got married! Hopefully when she gets back we'll be able to finish everything up.
A few weeks ago, I went on vacation with Shelby (a friend from college) to France and Italy. It was absolutely amazing and extremely COLD! A very nice break from the ridiculous weather we've been having in Mali, but I was definitely not prepared or well dressed for the cold! We hit up all the major tourist spots in Paris and Rome, and made a few other stops along the way. I'm going to post some pictures to my Picasa account now if the internet cooperates, and I'll try to update again soon!
