A little slow on the uptake

Welcome to my blog, first post since arriving in Dakar on January 16. So it took quite a while but I'm excited to share some of my experiences and hopefully hear from you too.

Basics:
I'm in Dakar, Senegal, West Africa. Spending a semester through CIEE studying at Suffolk University Dakar Campus. I live with a host family in Ouakam, a 45min walk from school so for the first time in my life I rely on public transportation. No longer can I walk back to my apartment or dorm room on campus between classes, take a nap, and wake up 10 minutes before class starts... but there are definitely perks. One of which is the food. I could fill a hole post about the food here, which i probably will later, but for now all I can say is that I'm tearing myself away from the blog so i can catch the next bus home to eat lunch around the bowl with my family.
More to come later if the power doesn't go out tonight!
