I have spent the past few days and will spend the last ones hear saying goodbye to people. I am happy because I am going back to America and my family and friends, but I am also very sad to be leaving here. For those that dont know my flight is on this Thursday at 9 O clock Gambia time so at 4 in America and I will be landing in South Carolina ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=432016&go=verbalsapheart Sat, 29 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=430013&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-Hope life is good out there, especially with Christmas coming. Here you would never know Christmas is two days a way. I forget myself sometimes. I completely forgot about Thanksgiving so I think Christmas is going to pass the same way. I found out a few days ago that the day I leave (January 3rd) is the day that my school reopens, which is going to make it a crazy last day. The schedu... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=430013&go=verbalsapheart Sun, 23 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=427011&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-I am good here, but overloaded with information because I did not get to the internet last weekend. Too many things happened in sports for me to take it all in just now. School is good, but closing on Tuesday which will be sad. And Taberski, the biggest celebration in Islam is starting either this Thursday or Friday, depending on the reading of the moon the day before. Everyone here k... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=427011&go=verbalsapheart Sat, 15 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=421639&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-Three months down, one to go. Two weeks left in the school term as well...so I can definitely see the end coming soon, but I am not sure how I feel about it yet. Aside from that life is still good. I have started learning the art of climbing trees here for bulba, which is sort of like a coconut and they use it to make a juice that is very sweet. I have also been to the river a few tim... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=421639&go=verbalsapheart Sat, 1 Dec 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=419056&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-Hope everything is going well for everyone. Life here is still good. Hafsa, Omars wife (one of my Gambian brothers), came for the weekend so I am a little bigger now because when she is here we always eat more food. She is a good cook, but sometimes way too much oil and pepper in the rice and beans. School here is almost finished. We have two weeks of teaching left and then one week o... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=419056&go=verbalsapheart Sun, 25 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=416010&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-Everything is good here. It has started to get hot again. So much for the cold season. I guess we only got a taste of it, but it will pick back up again. Only 4 weeks of term left at school, and one of those weeks will be exam week given by West Africa. So school is almost finished.One thing that I have been working on is the school library. It is not really a library..it is more of a... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=416010&go=verbalsapheart Sun, 18 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=412639&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-Hope everyone is doing ok...life is good here.The time has come here in Gambia to start the cold season, so says the people here. It is marked by what they call the Hamatan, which is the wind that blows in from the North/Sahara. During the day time it is still pretty hot, but dry so it is not nearly as bad as it was before. It stays around 80 degrees during the day, from about 11-5 or... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=412639&go=verbalsapheart Sat, 10 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=408724&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-Hope everything is going ok back home...I am good here. It was good to here from you Dave. Hope everyone is good in Columbia and in Clemson as well. We had today off from school because of All Saints Day. They love public holidays here in Gambia. Exams are finished and I am almost done grading them. A lot of high scores, but some students did not do so well. Hopefully it will wake the... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=408724&go=verbalsapheart Thu, 1 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=406571&go=verbalsapheart Hey Everyone-Everything is good here. The days are still hot, but the nights are cooler. My malaria medicine has been giving me tons of dreams, very vivid and sometimes scary ones, but it is not too bad. I go to sleep wondering what I am going to dream tonight because I always dream and remember them. On Monday we start the first exam week at school, so we will see the students progress so far.

Write more often! Everything is going fine here...still the hot season, but ok. We have had the last 4 school days off for the end of Ramadan holidays so not a whole lot going on, but we start back again tomorrow.Everyday my language of Gambia, Mandinka, improves...whether its just learning a new word, a new name, or a whole sent... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=400996&go=verbalsapheart Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:00:00 GMT
