Hey guys

Hey guys whats up? Not a whole lot has happened since my last post but I thought I would jot down some events that have happened. My homologue experience is reaching critical mass. So originally, my homologue was also my tutor and also the brother of my jugutigi (host father) and they lived in the same compound and looked alike. To make it worse, sometime between meeting them and homologue day (all the homologues come to tubani so for training) they decided to switch, so instead of Konimba who was supposed to be my tutor, I ended up with Sedou...soooo confusing. Anyway we played kickball today and it reminded me of Kindergarten and tomorrow we are having USA vs MALI soccer rematch (the first game ending in a 2-2 tie) and I fully plan to kick some ass, although i probably will end up falling on it a lot. I got some mail today and it made my day (alice, alix, mom) It is really funny how mail becomes a popularity contest as everyone grabs bunches of letters and starts yelling the names out loud. Besides the memorial service today, everything has been pretty quiet. Tomorrow I am going into Bamako and hopefully to this bar which supposingly shows espn on television (get excited). Well, I think that is all I really have to report right now, I leave for Sinsina on Thursday for the last stage of my training and maybe I will have more to report before then, if not I am sure I will have stories when I get back. Take care everyone and I miss you all.
