I left Arizona a day and a half ago, and have been in Azusa for the last 30+ hours. It's weird how things here picked up like they never really stopped. I've been hanging out with the same people, and I feel comfortable here, like we never missed a stride in our friendship. It's like the three weeks never really happened.
I don't know if that will happen in South Africa. It will be more difficult to stay in touch with them, I'm sure. It will be a lot longer of a time, and a lot more will happen. I will have changed so much more during the next 4 months than probably any period in my life. But I hope I can stay close enough with these people that we can pick it back up when we hang out again.
I've never been great about keeping in touch with people, but I've been getting a lot better. I'm going to be making a much better effort with that this semester.
I'm excited for my time in South Africa, but I hope I don't sacrifice any of my friendships here in the US while I'm over there.
