Day 1: Well hello there!

Currently at JFK airport. SOOOO EXCITED! I met a white South African girl on the bus to the airport. Turns out she's been out of the country for 6 months on a international service/ mission project. She was in Mexico for 2 and a half months, then Dominican republic for a month and a half and then Haiti for a week and a half. The whole program was for 5 months, but she stayed a month extra in the United States- in New York with a friend. I was like whoooaa! That's cool. She just graduated high school so this was her year off, or she was taking a year off. I'm not sure which it was. But we found out we're on the same flight going to Johannesburg and surprisingly are sitting next to each other too. LOL it's crazy. She's been telling me some interesting things bout South Africa though, in particular Grahamstown. It's a nice learning experience, and of course even better that I'm not by myself bored =)
