It’s funny – we’re trying
to go at a slow pace. But when I think back through these past few days, it’s
just insane how much we’ve done. How is that “slow”? Maybe it’s just a
testament to the ridiculously fast-paced city we come from. Even a moderately
quick speed seems like a break.
But we are trying
to take it slow. Right now, for example, we are laying on the bed in a very
cute B&B in a lazy beach town (yes, they apparently have those – at least
one) on the Southern coast. Ardmore, if you want to look it up. So we are doing things slowly. Don’t be food
by what I am about to tell you.
But before I tell you about what we’ve done, let me tell you
about one thing I got here that will probably make you laugh: a sun burn. It’s
amazing! The sun was out for one day, and I got burnt. But here’s the funny
thing: so did (it seems) everyone else in the country. My people! It’s funny. I
feel like when I went to Cal for orientation and was finally around people who
got as excited about
academics/learning as I did. I thought, “It’s more than just me! I’m not alone!
My people!” So too with getting a one-day sunburn. In California, people would
hardly have noticed the sun, but
here - I’m not alone! My people!!
Okay, no onto the activities. I don’t know how I’m going to
organize them. . . I don’t want to skim over anything that was so much fun, but
at the same time, I don’t want to be here for hours. This bed is super comfy.
So let’s just dive in and see how/where it goes, shall we?
. . . Except. . . maybe another time. Like I said, this bed
is really comfy. And we’re taking this trip slow, so I feel no guilt about climbing into it.
I'm a bit sorry to leave you hanging, but then again, the title did warn you.
Night!
