I must apologize again.

I knew it wouldn't be easy. I've been so busy lately, and haven't sat down to blog. But, it's time to cut the losses. I think I made it up to February 19th in my updates, and I am sorry. I'm really sorry to everyone trying to follow me, so let me summarize real quickly. The excursions we've been on lately have been things such as visiting a market, going zip-lining, and more fun experiences. I've been on a safaris, seen giraffes, rhinos, water buffalos, bok, and so many other animals. I've played water rugby, which is basically get the ball to the other side of the pool with no rules. I've had ticks on me, been covered in dozens of leeches, been attacked by foliage while in a moving vehicle, and played soccer on a secluded paradise field, making use of natural bamboo for goals and boundaries. I feel like, if this was a vacation at a resort, it would be incredible. Despite the fact that I don't have many things I've come to rely on - Mexican food, cell phone, unlimited internet usage, Ultimate Frisbee, ice cubes, a car, my family, or even hot water for the first month and a half. Despite all these things, this has been a great vacation.
I've also been busy with schoolwork. When you jam a full semester of classes into 6 weeks, you're going to be busy, especially come time for finals. That's what was controlling my life lately. As soon as I finished my final final, I took a day off, and now I'm behind on a 10 page 1.5 spaced paper due Friday. I'm exhausted and wiped out. I've spent 23 hours in class in the last 60 hours. That's not including the time spent planning my D group, working on homework, sleeping, planning chapel, running chapel, and playing soccer (I'm addicted). So I haven't really had free time.
So that's pretty much been the past 3 weeks. I'm busy now, but I've been busy and I'll be just fine.
2 Significant things:
1. I'm going to be an RA. I was selected as an RA for a freshman hall in Trinity, the dorm I lived in last year. I'm so excited about it because this is what I've been planning on doing for 3 years or so. This is the position I wanted, and I wasn't too optimistic about it when I looked at some of the other people who applied for it. I honestly think this position was the most sought after position, and only 10 people, 4 guys, are RA's in this dorm. That's so exciting!
2. Tomorrow service sites start. I'm serving at Walk in the Light, which is the site I wanted to serve at. There's plenty of things to do there, but we'll probably be focused on doing manual labor such as building houses, and spending time with the community. I wanted it because it's the only one that doesn't directly work with kids, and I don't feel like that's what I'm here to do. But tomorrow, my real purpose for South Africa starts. I love the idea of vacation, and support it totally, but I didn't come here to experience a resort. I don't even feel like I'm in South Africa yet, because we've been so isolated here. But now, I'm ready to go. I'm ready to serve, and spend time with people I've never met before. I'm ready to actually start doing what I came here to do. I'll try to keep up with this, because this is important stuff I'll want to reflect on. I figure I can neglect the surface-level "I did this" stuff when I have to choose something to leave out. Tomorrow should result in reflection. Hopefully I won't be too exhausted/consumed by the amount of work I have.
