A Few Last Thoughts

So its been a few days since my last blog entry- the truth is I have been too lazy to actually sit down and write one. Today is my last day in Cape Town, and I am so sad to be leaving. I know I haven't been as diligent with the blogs as I should have been, but I have had so many amazing adventures. Its hard to choose what to write about in the blog. For instance, today I not only stood at the southern most point of Africa where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet, but I also got the frolic on the beach with some penguins. And that was just today! I have three weeks worth of stories and adventures to share with anyone at home who is willing to listen. I will probably be talking about this experience nonstop for the next three months, so prepare yourselves. And please ask questions! I honestly just feel so thankful that I got to do this. I signed up for the trip not knowing what I was getting myself into, and it has turned out wonderfully. I have done some pretty cool things, but more importantly I have met some amazing people. I am definitely not willing to let my new friendships go, and keeping in touch with people from this trip will be a priority once I get home. I was told that studying abroad could be a life changing experience, but I took that with a grain of salt. I thought before that there was no way three weeks could impact the rest of my life, but I think I was wrong. This trip has taught me so much, not only about South Africa, but about myself as well. For this, I owe an enormous thank you to Nate, Sarah, everyone on the trip, and everyone we have met here in South Africa. I have had the time of my life. P.S.- I know I promised pictures of me with the penguins in an earlier blog but I'm just way too lazy to upload it right now- it will be up on facebook shortly though
