So I haven't updated as much as I would have liked, but hey, I'm doing it now, so that's what counts I suppose. I leave for Africa tomorrow, and to be honest, I haven't thought a whole lot about it. I haven't really prepared myself for the culture shock, nor have I really thought about what I'm going to do. In a way, I think that's good. Our days are numbered. Simple as that. We have a limited time, and thinking about the future is not going to make the present any better (this does sound stupid in other contexts, but for this one it works). i feel like this year has owned, and that it has by far been the best of my 4 years. I feel like everything that I've worked for has finally come to pass. Winning mock trial state was a big goal, one that I've had for about 6 years, but there was so much other stuff that I feel owns. For instance, playing 3 hours of straight ultimate yesterday was fantastic, and then to top it off, we just hung out after that at Supraja's open house and then at Kuo's for smash. To me, that's the perfect combination of activities - frisbee, talking, and smash. Other things that I feel satisfied about include, but are not limited to: terpsichore (our dance owned thansk to Haema), Senior one acts (our one act owned period), SHEF raising $1300 in a single change drive, plotting and scheming, and most of all, doing the "lab." In conclusion, I'm going to go to Africa and make the most of it while I'm there. I'm going to try and think about the situation over there, not over here, and I plan to think in the present. That way, I'll make the most of our (not endless) numbered days. Peace.
