Did ya know I'm home?

Hello, delinquent blogger here...

So Senegal... I am in a current state of apathy, its rather unexplainable. Today was the first day that I showed anyone my pictures from Senegal. I really have had no desire to really talk about it, cook anything, I even brought cookies from there and then couldnt even eat the whole bag... bizzarre. I would also like to clear something up. Contrary to popular belief I did not hate Senegal. I have been told that my blog was overwhelmingly negative. Maybe its just my occassional glass is half empty personality or maybe its just that its sometimes easier to point out negative aspects. I dont know. But I didnt hate it. But I would also say that I dont know yet if I loved it. I feel really badly saying that. I feel really ungrateful and unappreciative and almost like I've failed somehow when I'm not missing it terribly because it seems like everyone who comes home from study abroad experiences just rave about them. I think it was just the fact that toward the end there I was getting a bit tired of it and now it is just sort of an adjustment period... when I figure it out myself I'll let ya know.

Ive been home from Senegal for the past almost two weeks now... I guess I should have had a culminating blog from Senegal saying something like "Christie here signing out" but nope nothing sorry. So I've had it on my to-do list for about a week now to update my blog so here I am taking a break from packing to write this. We are moving from the good ole duplex which has served us oh so well for the past 2 years and 3 months to our new "lake home." This is what we lovingly call it because when you think lake home you probably dont think of 80's style fake wood paneling and holes in the wall (atleast just in my room, huge hole in the wall, it adds character/reduces privacy, am currently working on a solution to that problem) but its a classy joint. You should come over and check it out. But it is across the street from Lake Como and right next to the park so we have a huge yard :) Also right on the 3 bus line which is such a treat for the winter time :) So yes we are moving... oh joy. I am currently sitting on the floor with my keyboard while my monitor is still on my desk because yes there is not a chair to be found in the house. I was using a cooler a while ago but I brought that downstairs and now am too lazy to go and get it... More on the new lake estate very very soon. Ciao ciao
