Day 2 of teaching one of Dr. Wirba’s classes. This time the class size was small because they are 3rd year students in the geography department. Before I started speaking, Dr. Wirba briefed them on what I am here and not here to do. I am not here to look for a boyfriend, fiancé, or husband. I am here for academic purposes only. The class laughed at this and so did I. Once that was out of the way I started my introduction like yesterday. I found out that they were not very familiar with the geography of the U.S. so I tested them on the geography of Africa. They went around naming African countries. We only forgot a few but besides that, everything went well. They surprised me with the magnitude of their questions. Questions ranged from affirmative action to women in America to segregation. I enjoyed these questions thoroughly and also prompted me to do more research on my own country. Because the class is very small, I will love to frequent more often and get to know the students.

After class, I wondered around campus until the bus. Unfortunately for me, I did not know where the bathrooms were located so I nearly pissed my pants until I gathered the nerve to ask the secretary in the President’s office if there was a bathroom nearby. I guess she realized that I was a foreigner and let me use the bathroom. I have never felt so relieved in my life. After that, I could literally conquer the world lol. I took the bus to town, ate at coffee shop and went home. Played with the kids and learned more Fulfilde. Djiana still has yet to grow fond of me but we are getting there. I shared my peanuts with them as we talked.
