Update

So nothing special is going on here. After having little to no school work for the last two and a half months, it's all now piling on. In less than 30 days the first group of students leave to return home. Thanksgiving marks the 100 day countdown for those in my group and December 7th marks the halfway mark of the program. 

I've been busy helping to plan Thanksgiving dinner here with the other students, trying to figure out where to buy different ingredients and the like ( apparently you can get marshmallows in dakar, which might allow for white grape salad!). I've also been planning for Christmas break in London, England (one day); Aberdeen, Scotland (about 6 days and Christmas day there); Dublin, Ireland; and Paris France (about 5 days and New Years!). It's going to be a very exciting, and action packed time coming up and I'm sure 'll have lots to talk about after the new year, but it will probably be slow for a while. I hope all of you holiday plans are going well, whether they bein the States or abroad.
