Every night at 7:30pm everyone, all around Senegal, gathered around their TVs for Marina, the Telemundo soap opera. On Monday there was a commercial for Le Roman de La Vie to start Wednesday at 7:30pm!
Yesterday I made Jiffypop and we all sat down to watch the last episode of Marina (of the series). Not surprisingly, it ended with everyone happy and everything right. There was a great montage of clips spanning in the future showing everyone's happy lives (including new babies and ability to walk restored).
Tonight our TV wasn't working so we couldn't start the new soap! Tragic! Instead my host mom and I just chatted. I very very rarely ever get time with just her. Unasked for (but completely welcomed) she gave me some awesome information about my host family. Who's related to who, who had a kid but isn't married, where the kid is now, etc. Yes it was gossipy but it made up for a good replacement of a soap.
In work news, Alyssa, Jackie, and I went to the University today for some last minute camp things. I'm going back tomorrow to deliver cleaning supplies so the rooms can get cleaned before we come Saturday. I have a few more things to buy and then everyone comes Saturday - the girls Sunday!
More updates to come!
