How many class changes is that now? 4?

Our first days at l’Institut Catholique went well, even though we were enrolled in two classes that none of us wanted to take to begin with, but that were the only ones that weren’t 8 hours every week, hadn’t started yet, but also didn’t wait to start until may. Getting to the classrooms we got lots of the usual stares, but once in class I was surprised by how little attention we got. It was pretty refreshing! Week two, however, we realize that because of a change in time of our religion class, we would be missing half the class every week due to our other class…SO we have to drop our anthropologie des religions, and just keep sociologie politique. HOWEVER, this leaves us with only one class. We talked to the doyen, and asked him if, even though it starts in april and Mr. Teku didn’t want us to not be in class and was also skeptical of the probability of it actually starting in April, could we try and take that course now that we have no other options since all the classes have already had 2-3 classes. He said we could, and while Mr. Teku was not too pleased and is having us join other classes at the Dickinson Center in the meantime, we are all really hoping the class starts in April because it should be super interesting—it is the cultural problems in western Cameroon. The University also has a dress code, no skirts above the knee and covering up on top…which two of the guards enforce, and the rest do not. So some days when we have skirts that go right to the knee or just above, we get a little reprimanded, but it’s a tad confusing because we see other Cameroonians wearing the same thing. We do realize, however, that we are just slightly more visible than the other students, haha. It takes us two taxis- or a moto and a taxi to get to the University, which is kind of a pain because it costs a lot then and requires us to leave our houses at 6:30 am, BUT a moto ride in the cool morning air for 30 minutes makes it all worth while. So now we wait and hope our April class starts, and are doing pretty well in our other one too. In addition to our other classes at the Dickinson Center it makes for a nice change of pace to go there.
