Countdown: 29 Days

29 days from this moment, I will be on my flight!  I cannot believe how quickly time has gone.  I head home tomorrow afternoon, and it's goodbye Madison!  It will be nice to have a break from the cold and snow.  It's currently 5:10AM and 63 degrees in Cape Town.  That will certainly be a nice change.

There are so many things to do before I leave.  It's not even worth listing them all.  I find myself thinking a lot about leaving.  My thoughts and emotions flip flop frequently.  It kind of reminds me of how I felt before leaving for college.  Most often, I feel excited and anxious to leave during the day, and sadder and nervous at night.  I get to thinking about how I'll feel not being home for so long and it makes me uneasy.  I try to keep my mind on all the great adventures I'll have, such as...

CAGE DIVING!

Cape Town is Great White central.  Cage dives are a popular tourist activity in which I will definitely participate.  Hopefully I don't get eaten!
