I've definitely been having some difficulty writing this first blog entry, because I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that in nine weeks I'm leaving to spend four months in South Africa. Finally, after a few weeks of obsessing over details, looking at pictures from last year, and thinking about all of the awesome fun activities and experiences I'm going to have, I'm beyond excited. I know it won't feel real until we step off the plane, or maybe even after, but anticipation has finally overcome my nerves and I can't wait to experience it all. I'm still nervous about leaving my boyfriend, friends and family so far behind, and a little bit about the eighteen hour flight.. but I can't wait to bungee jump again, climb the mountains, get to know the people I'll be spending my time with, and have an amazing internship all on a completely different continent. I know this trip will completely change my perspective on the world, I can't wait until we're actually there and this all becomes a reality.
