Or not necessarily tough. I just can't stop thinking about South Africa. Thoughts dwelling on friends who are over there, whether people from my semester, friends who went over before, or some of the South Africans I met over there. Today's probably the healthiest longing I've had for South Africa; I just miss it. I miss the people that I met over there, and I'm thinking about them.
I've been unpacking today. Going through some of my stuff. I finished two books in the past 3 days that were recommended to me by Logan in Africa, and books I talked about regularly in Africa. I had my birthday yesterday, which meant plenty of facebook notifications. Most of the notifications I welcomed the most were from people from the South African Semester or people I met over there. I went to a dinner almost a week ago focused on South Africa, and have had certain people really wanting to hear about it. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Today began with finishing a book, putting me in my normal, post-book mood of heightened emotions. And I've been thinking about Rugby all morning (I'm even wearing my Springboks shirt) and am now watching Aussie Rules football (The accents are reminiscent of South Africa) and have been watching soccer too. Today will be a day thinking about South Africa. And I'm okay with that.
