Despite my alarm not going off this morning (set it but it didn't save as 'on') and me and my roommate missing the 7am PC bus to Dakar (i woke up on my own at 7:30 and though wow it's pretty light outside for before 6am, looked at my cell phone and saw that it was 7:35 and sure enough everyone had left without us….the guards here called us a taxi and 16,000CFA (about 32$) we were in Dakar with an hour to spare before the ceremony.) It was a nice ceremony held at the US Ambassador's house, complete with lots of soda and finger foods afterwards (probably my favorite part). Either way I am now officially a Peace Corps Volunteer!!!!! After the ceremony we got our bank cards from the PC HQ and went over to the American Club, a place with a really nice pool that we get access to for free as PCVs…and it has a cheap bar. Back in Thies now, tomorrow will be a long day of shopping in the market, want to pick up a decent hammock if I can find one. And then very early Sunday morning we're leaving super early to head to Kedougou. I'll be there until I install at site on the 19th, so I'll have some time to put up some photos and post again.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
