. . . .You will have wonderful times here. But know that you will have bad days
too. Little things such as music,
exercise, writing, visiting others will help.
But, as I remember all too well, some days are just useless. Wait them out. They too shall pass, I promise.
And may I humbly suggest one thing:
try not to call home on these days.
Doing so tends to make everyone feel worse. More importantly, the difficult moments are
when you will make your most cherished, lifelong friends. Reach out to your new Senegalese
community. Let them help you. Trust them.
It is the best advice I have to offer.
As for the rest, the good times will take care of
themselves! And there will be many! Work, take care of yourselves, take care of
each other, laugh and have fun! I will
be here to help you in any way I can.
Dalem ak Diam!
