The Blog Is Not Dead

Just hibernating.

Camilo and about 15 others leave for Guinea at the end of July. I have a job for the summer and am joining them all in early September. My things arrived in their trunk and didn't even smell that bad, which was a happy day for me. I'm thrilled that I can repack it all and bring it back to the same country!

I did receive some bad news from PC this week - Mamou is no longer considered a safe enough site due to what happened during the last strikes. I wrote them an email saying that if they didn't want me there, I understood. But if it's because they think I don't want to be there, they are wrong. Regardless, I'm headed back to Guinea. If I can't go to Mamou they might put me in Timbi Madina, where the town would be a little smaller, cooler and my classes would be 20 instead of 120. Either way I'm going to be positive about it - I wasn't much of a "go with the flow" person before, but that has definitely changed!

I'll still have internet in Timbi, so don't worry about the blog, it will live on.

Cross your fingers that there are no more evacuations...
