So I left Cape Town on the 21st of January 2011- a whole month later than I'd planned but I guess life doesn't always go according to the plans we make. I really don't think it had hit me yet that I was leaving everything I knew so well and everyone who means to much to me for an entire year. I'm not sure its sunk in even now.
So much of emotion. Too much. I spent most the day trying to remind myself (or convince myself!) that I am in fact excited about this year and that all my hard work to get myself going will be worth it.
Saying goodbye was the worst thing. Mom cried (obv), I did too. I know I'll miss everyone a ridiculous amount- thank goodness for skype :)
The flight...
Very uneventful flight, kind of boring. Lame romantic comedies (why did I do that to myself?!) and average food. The usual for a 20 hour flight I guess. I did spend a whole lot of time reading all the letters from my amazing friends and mum- thanks guys. I wonder what everyone else was thinking about the lonely girl on the plane sobbing her heart out. Landed in rainy Auckland at 11:40pm and only left the airport round 1:00am- what a lus.
