02/21/13_12:14PM: What’s with these women?! I keep seeing them with four under layers or more, 2 pagnes, shorts, smaller shorts, and then underwear. If I weren’t so paranoid, my mind wouldn’t have concluded that it’s all anti-rape protection. Must get more layers…
02/20/13_5:49PM: I found biscuits that taste like Barn Door’s bread! It probably can’t be healthy to eat so many in a day, but they’re only 500GF! Chumpchange!
02/20/13_5:12PM: Fonio & Bananas, the new oatmeal w/bananas?

02/19/13_10:28AM: I saw a baby being born. This girl made it look so easy, in and out really… OMG, if I could be guaranteed a birth like that! Okay, I’d still hesitate, but she made it look so easy! Probably cause she’s 18…

02/14/13_9:22PM: I made some sweet Valentine’s cards.
02/14/13_6:54PM: …this language barriers is getting to me. I have nothing to talk about w/the kids or teenagers even though they come and press their faces up to my screen door every night. When I do go out to my step, I say hello, and that’s it. End of Conversation. It’s not even like I can joke w/them or invite them in. Nothing except awkward stares.

02/10/13_9:32PM: Being overwhelmed by the hereness and inescapability of Guinea, enjoying making (or attempting to make) naan for myself, eating too much sugar and looking up at the stars as light shines from my open hut’s door. I wish I was a more talented artist.
02/10/13_9:08PM: I leave the US for a couple of months and my cousin turns into a comic book nerd?! No, not Guerra, Lyn! Hahaha!
