I have just finished typing up an assignment (completely in French) for tomorrow by candle light. The power went out as soon as I finished eating supper. I have begun to get used to it but it doesn’t make it any less of a hassle. The computer is probably going to die any moment.
Today we had our field trip to Baffausom and Banjoun to visit two companies that are similar to the ones we will be working with at our posts. It was an extremely frustrating day for me because everything was in French and I did not pick up any of it. On top of that I am not feeling physically up to par. There is no doubt, Africa is not a walk in the park but so far it has been worth it. Keeps your fingers crossed that it continues that way!
Oh, my French level went from Novice Low to Novice High. I am still riding the short bus but hopefully I will get to where I need to be by August 19!
