Since today is a national holiday (Happy Women's Day!), I only have four more days with the organization. And since I submitted the policy paper this past Friday (yay!), I have little to do until this coming Friday. I wish I could just fast forward to Saturday morning when I board my Greyhound bus (yes, they have Greyhound in South Africa) and make my way across the country to Durban. That way I can move past the most likely uneventful time spent in the office and the pain of packing up the guesthouse and check off another four days between now and when Ari arrives. Now that I've accomplished the big professional goal I had for my time here - policy-relevant research and writing - I have checked out mentally.
While I still have 3.5 weeks left, I already feel myself skipping ahead in my brain to life back in Boston. But I still have 4 days of work, 1 day of cross-country bus travel, 3 days in Durban, 4 days in Gaborone, and 1.5 weeks of being a tourist around Cape Town through which to get. And I'm looking forward to all of that (except the four days in the office) and I'm sure it will be awesome, but right now I'm just waiting for the next big thing.
