The day is finally here! Time has flown by since I had applied for this opportunity and I know it will go by just as fast in South Africa. The reasons for going on this study abroad trip are endless.First off, I never traveled much when I was younger and I really want to do so in college. I have never been out of the country so why not start in Africa! The course itself
seems so intriguing and I can't wait to delve into the material. I hope to gain knowledge that I could only gain through traveling. I honestly don't have expectations at all as I hope to just keep an open mind. I am definitely nervous but I think those nerves will disappear when I get to Cape Town. I hope to learn a lot from the locals and am most excited to visit the townships. I feel that will be the most rewarding part of the trip and I know I will learn the most there. The flight leaves in just one hour and I could not be any more excited. Cape Town, here we come!
