It’s something I've meant to do for quite awhile now, but somehow, time and energy always failed me and the dream never became a reality. This time however, my resolve is pure and my decision irrevocable. And look! Reading this page means I published an entry, which is a lot further than I’ve ever gotten before. Clearly, this is a good omen.
Anyhow, a relatively brief introduction: Following my first year at St. Kate’s, it dawned on me that our world is a pretty big one and I’ve a lot left to see. (That’s actually not totally true. I came upon that realization a while ago, but it sounded like a nice way to start off the entry and the revelation is no less relevant today.) Therefore, it seemed reasonable that I take a semester off from conventional university to study abroad. My desire to be in a Francophone country narrowed down the options quite a bit, and since I’ve already spent a considerable amount of time in France I opted out of all of the France programs, which narrowed my selection even more. I’ve never been to Africa - and now’s as good a time as any! – and on a bit of a whim I decided to come to Senegal.
And now I intend to keep track of my four months here by means of this blog. Though I can make no promises as to the regularity of my entries, I do promise that I will try my best to keep the world (anyhow, anyone who is interested) informed about my adventures and misadventures.
Enjoy=)
