Absolutely Astounded
Hi everyone. My name is Erica Leib and I am a senior at UConn. I
am studying Communications with a minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
Just a few weeks after I come back from Cape Town, I will be returning to UConn
to graduate in May. While my plans post graduation are ambiguous, I hope that
my internship at Christel House will give me some clarity. Though I only
learned about this program a few weeks prior to the deadline, I knew that it
was an opportunity I could not pass up. Now that I am actually here, I could
not be happier with my decision.
After
a long day of travel, I was ecstatic to get off the plane and take in a deep
breath of the Cape Town air. Though I could feel the cool breeze pass by me and
see Table Mountain stand before me, I still struggled to process that I was
really here. Reality set in as we then made our way to our respective homes. We
first stopped at the house on Loch Road. I was shocked by how big and beautiful
it was. It even comes with an in ground pool! After rooms were picked, we then
headed over to where I would be living, on Malleson Road. While it is not as
big as the other house, it is quaint and cozy. There might not be a pool, but I
can certainly appreciate our adorable courtyard! After we spent a few hours
unpacking and getting settled, we then made our way back to Loch for some
pizza. Overall, the first day was filled with astonishment, excitement, and an
eagerness to start my Cape Town journey.
