Community Placements

Now that community placements have started I'm finding that I don't have time to take four classes AND go to my 4-credit placement. At first, I thought that I needed to take one class in English to preserve my sanity, but I now see that taking an extra class beyond the requirements doesn't make things easier at all. So I'm now taking Performing Arts, Culture and Society, and Zarma in French (and some Zarma, obviously). I'm also doing placements at a school for kids with developmental disabilities and at the museum making batiks. Hopefully I'll be working with a school English club too, but that hasn't started yet.

My roommate and I were walking to the store tonight, and this guy asked us if we were American. It turns out he's a huge fan of McCain. I think we found the only non-Obama fan in the country!
