Dafa tang. (It's hot)

It's hot. But odd enough (because we haven't had rain since December) it's humid. We've had some pretty bad sandstorm-y things (mostly the air is filled with sand to make it seem hazy) so that might have something to do with it.

In work related news, I went to the middle school today and got my list of scholarship winners. Some of the girls have really outstanding grade (far above their classmates) and I'm really excited to start working with them. I also officially proposed a business club and an environment club (continuing with my ancienne did). Because of "Easter Break," yeah it's a 95% Muslim country, they're out of school for about two weeks and everything that got started today will be re-started the 18th. The principal at the middle school is really excited to work with me. He answered all of my questions about the Senegalese school system (it's based on the French system and I didn't really understand it until today). He also asked about the sustainability of the projects we're about to start and was a little bummed when I said I was only planning on being here for two years but really happy when I explained that I would replaced. People have been really nice to me but it's exciting to find a great work partner!

Tomorrow I'm going to the University to further discuss the camp... it's an important meeting so hopefully it happens and it goes well!

Seriously... it's so hot. I don't understand. Oh - the basil plant my parents sent is growing nicely! I'll have pesto in no time (aka about 10 weeks).
