It's important not to scratch your head too much living in West Africa. The people are wonderful for the most part. But there are head scratching moments in any new context - like the time a friend took us on the city bus all the way downtown when we only needed to go a block, because he figured that way we would get our money's worth.
Well, the government has ordered everybody back to school at the University of Ouagadougou while they study the proposal of the university professors. So school officially resumes on Monday. The catch is, the professors still want their month of vacation - which is the month of August! This means this academic year, the university officially will have run for a month, than went on strike for 3 and half months, restarted for two weeks, and then will have taken another whole month off. Yikes!
