1. Our morning lecture on the history of Cameroon from pre-colonialism through the reign of Cameroon’s first president was postponed a second time because the lecturer called with car problems so we had from 8am-10am free. Luckily the internet began working again giving everyone the chance to catch up on communication and research.
2. French class today was all together. As a whole group we went over vocabulary pertaining to university life. 
3. Following the grammar/vocabulary lesson we all caught taxis and headed of the the University of Yaounde 1 where we met with students. The students that we spent the afternoon with all belonged to the same student society, one that Serge was the president of when he was a student at the university. Their current president explained what their society was (basically an academic focused organization for students studying anthropology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology) and how it functioned. After that, we walked to the other side of campus for lunch. Two American students were assigned to a Cameroonian student for the time that we were there. Rodrigue, Cora, and I spent most of the afternoon talking about university life but also many other small things in our lives. Rogrigue is 20, in his second year and studying philosophy. He has 7 siblings, 4 sisters and 3 brothers. He also does karate competitively but originally got involved because he like the philosophy of the practice.
4. When we got back to the office we had another free hour to hangout, use the internet, and check out any of the previous student’s research projects from the SIT library. 
5. In the evening, once again, I returned home and dove into homework. Like every night, we watched the Spanish soap opera at 9pm on the dot. Later in the night I also helped Gael with her English homework. She started school yesterday and already has copious amounts of homework. She was up later than 1am last night and then got up again at 4am to finish her work before school!
