This is Africa. . . why is it soo f¢♥§/.? cold!!!!!????

I thought I was playing it safe by coming here: africa = warm if not hot weather. Boy was I wrong. Its rained almost every day since Ive been here and its cold. Other than that things are great. Its been soo freaking cold. They have asked us where we might want to be posted and i made it PERFECTLY clear that I dont want to be anywhere cold. I think Im going up north which from my understanding is hot and dry . . . . OH YEAH!!!
The host family Im staying with is really nice. Oh by the way im using a french keyboard so there will be LOTS of mistakes en français et en anglish.

So, my host family: the mother who is like 7 years older than me is really sweet. The father is a little intimidating, but i dont see him much so thats ok.
There are three kids: 2 boys and one girl 15, 2, and 4 respectively. The little girl is soo cute. There are two other kids there that are on vacation and I just found out that my host mother has another son whose 18.
Its amazing how little french i know but am able to carry on conversations. I just cant understand their accents. However, Im beginning to remember words i didnt even know i knew!

Training is hectic but good. We have language training EVERYDAY on top of all the technical training but Im enjoying it. Theres another girl about my age here who is cool as hell, but ill talk about her later. My time is runnig out. Imagine writing 3 long paragraphs and right before you save it the powwer goes out on you? So is life in Cameroon which is why this blog is so blahhh. Yes i already have stories (ever had the runs and gas in a cab made for 5 but packed with 8 people?) but my times almost up. Plus I have to go to the bathroom . . . again.

Talk to you all soon

Oh and HAPPY B-DAY TO MARIE
