where in the world is....

post 1. This is where I'm going. According to my globe, it's French Sudan, but all the cool kids these days call it Burkina Faso. (I've also found it effective to describe it as "Upper Volta" to those of a certain generation.) At least the capital city is right: Ouagadougou. Which is what I'm pointing at.
That's the end of the geography lesson- good thing I'll be teaching science, right? I don't actually know where in the country I'll be, or exactly what subjects (I mean, "science" tells me... not enough) I will be teaching. That all comes at the end of my three-month training period in-country. Which starts next week! Hooray!!!! Also, oh boy.
