Dakar Resorts All-Inclusive - Reviews and Rates

So much has happened in the last week, I can barely remember who I am any more! Finally got back to school but after much deliberation have decided that the 'maternelle', or nursery, is not the place for me. As much as I love nearly all the kids it is not satisfying me. So, on Thursday I am being taken to my new school and will be an English tea...

I had a quiz today in Islam. It was only six questions and we had to use a scantron to bubble in our answers. What a waste of paper but I don't blame him for not wanting to grade them when he could be outside sunbathing instead with the time he saved! I had my energy class at three and we talked about the current ways that the US is using renewa...

Je décide donc de quitter Dakar carrément, mais c'est plus difficile de la traverser en sortant (la banlieue s'étend pour plusieurs kilomètres) qu'en allant vers le centre-ville.

My roomma...

Although it's been quite some time since my last entry, I feel like I'm making up for that with this lovely list of things that are extremely representative of events that have happened in the past month/the past week/the past few days or that happen every single day. Besides this list, I also was contemplating last night that in Senegal, my lif...

Everyone else has already gone through this phase, so I guess my time had to come. I brought my laptop with me to Dakar, even though it wasn't very encouraged, but most other people decided not to bring theirs. I'm frustrated because there are only a few other people that have theirs, so everyone constantly asks to check their email or use Skype...
