Its raining again in Durban, hard! Next week this place is going to be unbelievably green, I'm sure it will be beautiful! I thought I would be in my cozzie (swimsuit) hitting the beach, but the water is coming to me. I'm spending most of my time planning last get togethers with friends. The girls I'm closest to on my floor are going home (to Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and Pietermaritzburg) this week after they finish up their last couple of finals. Sad news. I'm still in South Africa for just over another three weeks, but time is slipping and its already changing since people are starting to pack up and move home. I know I'm not ready to. While my family called me about Christmas, and I'm very excited to see them all, it will be very bittersweet to leave. I hate that leaving is on my mind, but how could it not be? I have so much to look forward to at home, but I'm still loving being here. Starting to get those, "I'm leaving" knots in my stomach. For anyone who is about to leave to go abroad, those knots quickly turn into excitement and energy to go out and try new things. So no worries. For my next adventure: Cape Town, maybe after that I can worry about leaving and going back to the States. For now I think I'll enjoy South Africa in all its rainy glory!
