So the time is coming when I will be
leaving Cape Town. Maybe it will only be
for a few years or maybe it will be forever.
Who knows? I hope it won’t be
forever, but I’m honestly not sure. I’m
going to miss so many things about this trip and being here. I can’t imagine waking up and not having sixteen
people to talk to, or being up late at night and having the same thing. The friendships I’ve made here mean so much
to me.
This week was actually really sad. We had our last week of tutoring with the
Firefighters (the soccer team in Khayelitshia) and our last week with our
little sisters. I hope we can all keep
in touch. I guess I’m having trouble
writing this because this was a weird week.
It is all starting to get really sad and it’s too hard for me to put
down my feelings about saying goodbye.
I had a great weekend though! I went
shopping and out to eat a few times. For
anyone who knows me, they know that whenever I’m at UCONN, I can be a pretty
stressed and busy person. Being in Cape
Town has given me the opportunity to have fun again, and realize that the world
won’t end if I don’t spend all of my time doing something that’s scholarly
productive. Don’t get me wrong I still
have fun at UCONN, but I am much more carefree when I am here. Not only is this city conducive to me having
fun, the group of people I’m with make me have fun. They are all so different and I know that this
trip would have been very different without each one of them.
