so nothing much as really happened since i posted last... you guys in america with regularinternet and news access probably know more about whats going on then i do. nothing in my everyday has changed and life continues as normal in PK7. people seem to be pretty split over whether or not they favor the coup but i have yet to meet someone who really is passionate one way or the other.
My life has gotten a little crazier since model GMC started today. for the next week and a half i am going to be going into rosso each morning then having language classes back in PK7 each night. the GMC (girls mentoring center) is where all girls education volunteers work and the PC has created a little mock GMC to help us practice lesson planning and test out some of the lessons that we create on girls here in Rosso. im kind of nervous because ive never planned a lesson before, im by myself (everyone else is teaching in pairs), and it has to be done in either pulaar or french. i dont know if i said this before, but of all the 15 girls eduation trainees, 14 are learning hassaniya and i am the sole pulaar speaker. so naturally when it comes to presenting our lessons we were partnered with fellow language speakers and i got the shaft. its good practice though because i am also one of the few girls ed trainees who is by themselves running the GMC at their final site (or at least thats what i keep telling myself).

Teresa -- Your host brother is adorable. I'm sure you'll miss him and the rest of the family once you move to Boghe. Ryan has become very attached to his host family, which is very comforting to a mother so far away! Take care!!
