Day 1 of French Class

It's 6 AM and the electric is off. Why am I getting up so early on a summer morning? The answer is French Class. For the month of July David and I are taking a 100 hour French course at the university here in Dakar. The class starts at 8 AM and ends at noon. The following takes place between 6 AM and 11:30 AM on the first day of French class...
After waking up and realizing we had no electric, I got up, had my devos, got my clothes all mixed up, got my bag ready and grabbed some breakfast. Mom generously offered to drive us there the first day so we didn't have to worry about catching the bus today. Although class was supposed to start at 8 we didn't actually start until 8:30 due to sign up delays. David and I were placed in the Intermediate 1 class along with 7 other people. All the students are from different countries and speak different languages making things quite interesting. We were all partnered off at the beginning and I found myself working with a very pleasant young lady from Paraguay named Vanella. Class ended two hours early today which is good because it took us nearly that long to get home. To make a long story short - we walked a looong ways and then boarded a city bus which was hot and crowded, got off it and walked a shorter ways home.
My morning in a paragraph. I'll keep you all updated as much as possible. Thank you for your prayers, I could really feel them this morning. =)
