Walls of material and syllabuses

Today we met Dean B downtown to buy our first meters of material for dresses, skirts, cabos, the like. We walked in, and had trouble seeing. Bright, bold fabric literally everywhere in sight—on the counters, on the walls, in the bins, just everywhere. There were even bras and undies already made. We took a while to choose our favorites that were in our price range, and are all planning on exchanging because each piece of material will make about 2 dresses each. Later this evening, the professors came over to talk about their classes, and we are all thinking about overloading now. All the classes sound so good, and we wish we could take them all. I placed high enough on the French exam that I will be able to take 2 courses at the Catholic Institute here in Yaounde, along with Colleen, Claire, Eliza and Doob, should they all choose to take them there too. We are all running around trying to figure out what is going to count for our specific majors and at the same time, not take too many so that we don’t give up experiencing Cameroon—so we will see how that all turns out by next week. French lessons start on Thursday. Bring it on.
