Welp, we are within hours of our last day here in Pietermaritzburg, and I think it’d be safe to say that majority of us are having a hard time wrapping our minds around the idea of leaving. African Enterprise and the staff here has become a home away from home for all of us. The idea of leaving the people, and then being separated in Cape Town is a scary thought. But much like the rest of my life, I’m over-thinking things as usual and I just need to take a step back and enjoy this moment for what it is. Hey, I was nervous to come to South Africa in the first place and look what’s it turned out to be.
I’m officially done with Biology, Life and Teachings, and Community Engagement! I’m coming closer by the day to finishing History, and we’ll be taking Anthropology in Cape Town, then we’re done. It’s a great feeling to know that the weight that is school is slowly being lifted.
Haven’t done too much these past two days. Today was super slow. I slept with some friends outside for the second night this week, and after getting 4 hours asleep, I was kicking myself…but I’m still glad I did it.
Everything’s just coming fast. Cape Town’s coming fast. Home is coming fast. Leaving people is coming fast, and it seems like Saturday morning, when we depart, it’s going to be step one of the end of things, so it’s hard in general. Regardless, life’s good. I’m still enjoying every second here, even if the idea of leaving is always somewhere in the back of my head. Hey, one month and I’ll be home! That’s a great thing that is to come!
