The end is almost near..except for my last few adventures!!

I know it has been a few weeks since I haven't written a blog entry but for the last two weeks or so I have been doing nothing but school work. I have had so many papers to write and so many tests its crazy! But now its all over and I only have 3 weeks left. Last week was my last week with all my kids from my classroom as well my kids from my girls soccer team (look at my new pictures, the kids are so cute!). It was really hard to say goodbye to all my kids especially since I know I will NEVER see any of them again. It really puts life into perspective whenever I think of all my kids. After saying goodbye to them and finishing up my last papers, yesterday my friends and I went deep sea kayaking! It was quite an experience. First I drove a hour and half to get to the town where we do it. Driving on the other side of the rode is easier then you think but its still really hard especially when I'm turning corners. Once we got there we got into our kayaks and went into the ocean. It was gorgeous out and so fun to just be out in the middle of the ocean. First we saw penguins and they just same right next to our kayaks. They were so cute! Then we saw WHALES!!! They were close but not too close and it was amazing! They come really close to the bay so we didn't have to go out very far to see them. Kayaking with whales is something I will never forget. Then for lunch we of course had the best sea food ever! (Ironic i know 
) After that long day we came home and just watched a movie. Today we just hung out with our friends and had to start saying goodbye. One of my roommates left today and it was really weird! Tomorrow I have to say goodbye to my other roommate and that will be even harder since we got really close. Luckily I won't just be sitting around my apartment thinking about how sad I am because I'm going on a trip along the coast with 4 of my other friends! We leave tomorrow and were gone for a week. Were taking a 13 hour bus ride (miserable I know) and then were staying with a trip for a few days then staying at Coffee Bay for a few days. Both places have amazing reputations and since were taking the bus, the trip is going to be really cheap. I'm really blessed to be able to go on it!! Right when I get back from this trip, my dad comes the very next day! The following day we leave on ANOTHER trip!! My dad and I are going to Victoria Falls which is in Zambia. Its one of the seven wonders of the world and will be unbelievable!! Not only will we be seeing Victoria Falls but we will be riding elephants and playing with lions! We are also going to Botswana for a day to go on a safari. Even though I will be living out of a book bag for two weeks straight, it will be worth it!! It will be the best two weeks ever! Then I'll show my dad around Cape Town and Stellenbosch and then I'll be back home in no time. Time really does fly! Treasure every moment and live life to the absolute fullest. I am anyways
