if amy ran senegal...: hello america
http://ifamyransenegal.blogspot.com/2008/12/hello-america.html
Tuesday, December 16, 2008. So it's been a couple of crazy days. Three days ago, I was in Africa, in short sleeves, enjoying the sunshine. Now, I'm in Wisconsin, wearing long underwear, two pairs of socks (one pair that goes up to my knees), jeans, a t shirt, a thick longsleeved shirt, and a humongous sweatshirt, hibernating under a down comforter and quilt. Why does America have to be soooooo cold? And there are so many traffic lights! It's sooooooooo cold here! Have you seen the size of this spoon?

if amy ran senegal...: WUMM: american politics in senegal
http://ifamyransenegal.blogspot.com/2009/01/wumm-american-politics-in-senegal.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. WUMM: american politics in senegal. My phone rang at 7 o'clock this morning. Hearing the seemingly distant tune of Fraggle Rock, I was able to open my eyes enough to look at the screen and realize that it was not my alarm, but my dear sister. I looked at my watch in disbelief, and opened the phone to hear "HAPPY FIRST DAY OF JOB AND INAUGURATION DAY! And the answer is "Yes of course! When I left Senegal, many of my Senegalese friends and family asked if I would say hello to Oba...

http://ifamyransenegal.blogspot.com/2008/12/ba-beneen-yoon-inchallah.html
Friday, December 12, 2008. Ba beneen yoon, inchallah. Dearest readers, I must make a confession. Or is he, like, genuinely nice? Is he going to try to kidnap me? I am soooo tired.Why didn't I eat breakfast? Man, I really have to pee, I hope he finds one soon. And I really hope he's not a creeper. What am I doing? Why didn't I say no? We will welcome you home with arms open wide and try hard not to state the obvious. Mary Ellen. December 12, 2008 at 12:01 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

if amy ran senegal...: August 2008
http://ifamyransenegal.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2008. To my faithful blog readers,. I'M MOVING TO AFRICA! I am officially taking my place in the Brown family legacy (and Rasmussen family for that matter.) and moving out of the country on my own. Wow. I am living up to the Brown name. Yet, as I sit here on a hotel bed, precisely 12 hours from departure, it still hasn't quite hit me that I am moving out of the country for three and a half months. I'm sure that in about 24 hours I will be warming up to the idea. If amy ran senegal.

Thursday, October 23, 2008. Watch out village, here comes amy (part 4). That night, I hardly slept at all. By the time we got back, it was pushing midnight, and we all looked like zombies after the long day. To bed! So long, for now. Monday, October 20, 2008. Watch out village, here comes amy (part 3). Now, this was the first time in my life that I had ever ever ever seen a mangrove in real life. Oh man. It was a fantastic first meeting. They are so cool! Or would I be in the mud knee deep? Now for a lit...

Monday, February 9, 2009. I've started another blog. I was thinking to myself today, "why limit myself to Senegal? Why not take over the world? And so was born another blog. Can you guess what this one is called? If amy ran the world. More Senegal stuff to come. Thank you and have a great day. Monday, February 2, 2009. WUMM: on child rearing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://ifamyransenegal.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. For those of you who had conversations with me before I set off on my grand adventure, the conversations went something like this:. Me: "Hey, I'm going to Senegal". When are you going? Me: "I'll be gone for all of Fall Semester". You: "Cool, what are you going to be doing there? Me: "Um.well, it's a study abroad program, so I'll be taking classes and at some point doing an internship.". You: "What will you be doing for your internship? Thursday, September 25, 2008. Seeing as I...

if amy ran senegal...: WUMM: the origins
http://ifamyransenegal.blogspot.com/2008/12/wumm-origins.html
Saturday, December 27, 2008. This is my way of not forgetting. The title of this series is "What's up? And it in itself is quite the story. Before I can tell you that, I have to tell you some things about my village host family. So far you know that I lived with a lot of people, and at the time of that post, that's all I knew as well. Throughout the following days and weeks, I learned a bit more about my family. Instead of the normal sereer "nafiyo? Many much." "Like what? And "not much" to "what's up?

Monday, February 2, 2009. WUMM: on child rearing. Child reering is just one more thing that is done so differently in so many different cultures. An American would think that it's crazy to attach your newborn baby to your back and walk around like that. A Senegalese would think it's crazy that you need this complicated contraption called a stroller in order to take your newborn somewhere. To each his own. My brilliant daughter- you continue to amaze me, well amazingly! With love- your mother. Its sooo tr...
