Anyways, Today is November 11th, technically the 12th in Cape Town I suppose. I leave on my trip (my super awesome trip to Durban and Lesotho and Swaziland and Mozambique) on November 19th. That means I have 7 days left before I leave Cape Town pretty much for good. 7 days left in my house, 7 days left with my roommates, 7 days left with all the other amazing people I've met here, 7 days left in the city I've grown so attached to, 7 days left before i have to say goodbye to my kids, which I'm dreading the most I think. Part of me is happy at the thought of going home and seeing the people I've missed so much, but a big part of me wants to cry. I'm no where near being able to process this whole thing or being able to explain or articulate it to anyone who hasn't been through this with me, and I'm not particularly looking forward to the adjustments or decisions or changes that are waiting for me at home. But I guess most of all I'm grateful for everything that I've been through and gotten to see and experience during the last 5 months of so, for the next month of my life which should prove to be possibly the greatest 30 days ever.
But enough about my ramlings...In other news, trying to name some highlights of the past two weeks...I got my hair cut and got emo bangs. They're pretty fun. At first I really hated them..the woman who cut my hair kind of messed up the bangs, I think she had a nelly furtado vision that went really wrong. So I left the salon and had a minor (major) freak out..their were tears...but my roommate grabbed some scissors and fixed me up and now they look pretty sweet. I'm enjoying them. Picture!:
........God I'm so vain:
In other news, the Rugby victory parade was last week. The parade route went along the road that my house is on, so I watched out the window while frantically writing a paper until the players were close. The parade was so fun, it honestly made me so happy. All of the schools in the area let the kids go watch so there were a bunch of little kiddies running around with flags in the yard infront of my house, and they went nuts when the team drove by. I know I said this last time but the Boks winning the world cup was seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen or been a part of. In summary I really like parades and I really like sports and I really like South Africa:
Ok I should probly like.......study now. But I'm saving a story for tomorrow when my finals our done so check back soon. hooray.
