Hello everyone!!
I'm alive and well. The Traveling School is probably the coolest thing I've ever heard/been a part of. Time flies by SO FAST. I can't belive it's already been a month. The teachers are awesome and totally inspiring. Sorry if I spell things wrong, but it's hard to see with this computer. I really like the girls, and we are all getting used to the Traveling School life. We've been to many amazing and beautiful places, and experienced crazy things. Classes are going great, and I'm learning more than I ever have. We always have fun no matter what the conditions are. For example, we had to camp outside in the pouring rain, and we ended up having a talent show...just because. The Traveling School motto is: flexibility. And we are all reminded of that every day. When we were at the Ampitheater lodge, we were in the middle of history class (which is so interesting) we decided to instead go on an intense hike in the mountains because the rain stopped. We are always busy, and we DO infact, have a lot of homework. So even though it's kind of like a camp, it's still a school. Check out the places I've been. You'll be impressed. Also, I've taken LOADS and LOADS of pictures, so don't worry. you'll see them. And finally, a great story to end the email. When we were in Kruger, we saw a LION...attack an IMPALA!!! WHAT!?!?! crazy. pure madness. we saw the big 5, which was really lucky. But seriously. A lion attacking an impala right by the road. helloooo national geographic.
