I was notified this week that I have been selected to go to Senegal in January as a Study Abroad Colleague for the College of Liberal Arts. We are still ironing out some of the details about how to cover my work while I am out galavanting :), but I am hopeful that we can get them worked out so I will be able to go. As it stands right now, I will be leaving on January 9, 2010, and returning on January 27, 2010. While in West Africa, the students will be studying sub-Saharan African films in the St. Louis area of northern Senegal.
This will be so different from anything that I have ever done. I am going to start brushing up on my French and hopefully learning a bit of Wolof, the most common language in Senegal, before we leave. It is nice to have a bit of prep time. I only had a month to get ready for my trip to Israel last year. It feels less frantic, although I know the time will go VERY fast.
Ñu yendu ak jamm.
Bonne journee.
Have a good day!
