It’s
been exactly a week since I’ve been accepted to the UConn in Cape Town program
and I’m still kind of in shock. Two weeks ago today, I still didn’t know where
I wanted to study abroad. I had pretty much been set on the University of
Wollongong program in Australia since April. But for the past month, many
different people had informed me about the UConn in Cape Town program. So
finally, two days before the deadline, I decided to really start looking into
it. I finished everything I needed to the day the application was due. Now I am
accepted and going to South Africa and it all seems so surreal. I have always
wanted to travel to Africa and help people that cannot help themselves, and so
this program really just fit my personality.
I’m
also very excited to actually meet all of the people I’m going with. The first
meeting we had with everyone I was a little overwhelmed by the girl to guy
ratio. But how I like to think of it is as long as I’m meeting people I
wouldn’t have met before, and having an experience of a lifetime, nothing can
replace this feeling. I’m nervous, excited, and still in awe that I get to
experience this; and I could not possibly be more ready.
