19 days

Now that the number of days that remain is in the teens, I think that it's becoming more "real" that I'm leaving. I keep mentioning that it hasn't sunk in yet. It's true! I think I'll finally "get" that I'll be living in a different hemisphere for six months when I board the airplane to Johannesburg.

I found out that I'll be living in Mossel Bay. I googled it and it sounds awesome. It's a resort town on the beach. What's not to like?

Here's a timeline of what's going on for the next 19 days. I know many of you wonder what I've been doing with my time since I'm done with school.

• Remainder of this week: Finish my senior service project at Oak Terrace School. I really enjoy working with the kids everyday!

• Weekend: friends, family, oh and the superbowl (not that I care). 

• Next Week: Go downtown to apply for the visa, get things I need before I leave, various doctors appointments (YAY SHOTS!!!), and lots of catching up on some shows. Yes, this is the dedicated "vacation" week. I think it's fair because I won't be back until August and I won't have much of a summer vacation. 

• Following week: Run more errands, see more friends and family, and a little rendezvous to the ever so exciting metropolis of Dayton, Ohio to see my grandparents. I'm also seeing my friend Morgan who's at school in Dayton, so that'll be fun. 

• The week after that: (hopefully I haven't completely lost your interest) I'M LEAVING FOR SOUTH AFRICA!!! First I'm going to New York for an AFS orientation. After that I'm hopping on a 15 hour flight to Joburg!
