Hmmm. Not proud of the nosepicking, all else is fine. Good to hear from you and appreciate the English lesson, think I was using my BB, not sure. Of course, yes, that was it. Glad you're in a good place and have a Guinean mom, think about it, a French mom, a couple Guinean moms, not a bad lot.
love you, miss you,
mom
Hey Rachel, glad to hear you're coming home! You should probably come to Pittsburgh, because that would be great.
Now for your hockey update: the Penguins just climbed back into the 8th playoff spot, and Fleury earned his 100th win. Malkin is about 10 points ahead of everyone else in the league for the scoring title, and with the trade deadline coming up, we're looking to pick up some wingers.
Hope all is well,

I love reading your blog... because it tells me what you're up to AND it makes me real excited about the Gambia!! I'm leaving in less than 4 weeks and I can't believe it!! Glad things are going well with you, and I'm glad you are going to make it back for Easter!
Salut Sophie (Rachel),
Je viens de t'envoyer un mel, mais je crois qu'on ne l'a pas mis à ton blog. Je voudrais bien que ma classe de français 4 honneurs corresponde avec une de tes classes. Es-ce possible? Je me suis amusée à lire ton dernier blog. Laisse-moi savoir si nous pouvons commencer une correspondance entre nos classes. Madame
