My posting frequency may have calmed a bit, probably because I don’t really have anything new to report. My business group meeting didn’t happen this week because it was pouring rain at the time, but my English class went pretty well. I spent most of yesterday prepping lessons for my business class, and now have enough to last about a month. Ideally I will get them all prepped in the next couple of weeks, but we will see.
Ramadan starts tomorrow, or perhaps Sunday (depends on whether the moon comes out tonight or tomorrow night). That will be a week of most people eating at four or five in the morning and then fasting until after seven at night. I brought up participating with Cece, but he seems to think it is a bad idea. If I can get my family to provide food for me I would like to do it, but it seems like that isn’t going to happen. From what I understand, kids and teenagers don’t generally particpate, so I won’t be the only one eating during the day. I have heard though that it is difficult to get snacks because no one else is eating, so I will have to do a lot of preparing of food.
In a couple of weeks I will head to Kissidougou for a few days. We get paid the beginning of September and I am dangerously close to running out of money, so I won’t have the luxury of waiting until I want to go. Also, I need to buy paint to finish my world map, and I definitely don’t have the money for that.
