Everything Is Exactly The Same

For the past month or so I have been experiencing something I like to call terminal boredom. In short I am BORED... really bored and no matter what I choose to fill my time nothing seem to do the trick. This is where I sigh and tell you about this new problem I am experiencing. I have left ass cheek pain. I think it is from sitting on my ass for too many hours a day. But it could be something fatal... Hey this is Africa and all the nasty diseases come from this joint. Perhaps the ass pain is a symptom of some larger more terrifying problem. Only time will tell.

I am in Niamey again because Patrick had to fill out and submit his student aid form. We were going to go back to Dosso today, but the day is proving to be hot, hot, hot and I would rather not be stuck in a bush taxi sweating my ass off during the 3-5 hour drive back to Dosso. We are putting it off until tomorrow when we will be leaving in the morning.

We are approaching the four month mark. Hot damn!!! Four more months until we get to go away from this country and live high on the hog in America. Just realize that I am joking when I say "high on the hog" because upon returning to America we got no money and we got no jobs!!! Ahhhh, unemployment... Not that the last two years have not been one long stretch of unemployment.
