Finals may be over, but my mind is still racing a million miles an hour. South Africa is only a few weeks away, and I have work to do. Procrastination has always been a weakness of mine, but I am actually eager to work through the pile of books that has been collecting dust since September. How will I be spending my beloved winter break? Learing about the country I am about to experience first hand!
It's been a year since my first study abroad experience when I ventured Australia exploring Sydney, Uluru and the Queensland stretch. I'm hungry for the new experiences that arise from travel and I'm looking forward to sharing these experiences with fellow travelers. Our group of students seems diverse and I'm excited to see what each of us will bring to the dynamic of the whole. I imagine this class will force me to see the world in a new light, as many new experiences do.
It's cold in Boise. Snuggling into warm fleece, I am already fantasizing about the warmth of Capetown and fresh opportunities South Africa has to offer.
