Getting ready to head to the airport this afternoon to go to on a family trip to Amsterdam and Africa. We'll be in the Netherlands for 5 days, fly to Tanzania, and then go on safari for 2 more weeks. I'm so psyched about this trip! I've never been to Amsterdam and not stayed in very shady hostels, so at the very least it'll be nice not to have to sleep with my valuables under my pillow. And in Tanzania it's calving season which means lots of cute little baby animals, and lots of big predators ready to eat them.
My trip to NYC last week was a lot of fun, and a little surreal- it's a strange feeling being around Columbia with no work to do. It's like what I imagine going to state school would be like- getting up at 1, doing nothing till 4, and going out with friends every night. It did get old after, oh, a day, but it gave me time to see friends, relax, and soak up one last bit of Columbia before heading off for 7 months.
Home has been really boring (another reason why I can't wait to leave). I've been sick, which hasn't helped motivate me to do much, but still there's been nothing to do. My high school friends are back at school, the weather's been dreary, and all the shopping I needed to get done I did before going to NYC. A change of scenery will give me a kick in the ass to get stuff done.
Be back in 2 weeks, hopefully with some pictures and stories about fending off animal attacks.
