Let's do the Time Warp Again...

Life here is so weird. I am definitely still enjoying village, but when I get to the end of a day and attempt to write about what I did that day in my journal or a letter, I realize I didn't do much. My days consist of going to the CSPS and hanging out in the morning then hanging out and studying Jula or something in the afternoon. Sometimes (especially on Christmas and New Years but other days as well) I just go to someone's house and sit awkwardly in their courtyard while they cook or try to feed me fish sauce or something...then I leave. I am pretty certain I will be a master of awkward situations at the end of this-I won't even know when something is awkward.
Also it is crazy to believe I have been here 3 months. I can't decide if it feels like a lifetime ago or only a couple weeks since I got to Burkina. My days generally feel very long (not in a bad way just long) but my weeks go by very quickly.
If there are details about my weirdly fun, crazy, boring daily life you want to know about definitely ask!

On a side note, I made Christmas letters for a lot of people. However, this was right as my thumb became giant and painful and they did not get sent. I tried to send them today but there was an issue at the post office. Just a heads up-many of you will be getting Christmas letters in July or something...
