Bienvenue!

In preparation for Mali, I have been studying French like crazy. One semester of introduction to the language has given me a strong base to work from. I see some improvement, but not enough when I realize that I will be living in the language for two years. After all this time living next to Canada and learning Spanish...

It's nice to be in the north country for a few more weeks. The environment is so relaxed and comfortable. Unpacking from Notre Dame has been ridiculous and I'm embarrassed by how much junk I have accumulated. I plan to stick to the Peace Corps packing weight limit from now on.
