During our pre-departure class,
one of the things that the students from the previous year said was to accept
that there are things you will not be able to do. As we approach being in Cape Town for two
months, I feel like the list of things I want to do has not gotten any shorter,
all while seemingly doing a laundry list of things I couldn’t even fathom doing
when I got here. As the days tick by, I
get more and more anxious as to all the things I still want to do while I’m
here, and it’s something that I’m struggling to accept. I am fairly proud of myself, as someone who
back home who is adverse to going out and exploring, to really immersing myself in
the Cape Town and trying to take up as many opportunities as I can in the short time
that I’m here. This willingness to go
out and experience new things is something that I had hoped to gain while on
this trip, and also hope to bring back with me to the United States.
