Today was one of the hardest days I’ve had so far. My
roommate Tim left to go back to the US and South Africa will never be the same.
He told me many times that he can’t stand this sort of “emotional, sappy crap”
so I’ll keep it short (just like Nim).
I can easily say that
Tim was my best friend here in SA and he will remain one when we’re both home.
His generosity throughout our stay was amazing and even though he tried his
best not to, he taught me to be a better person. I will of course miss our
crazy party nights in Pier 16, forgotten nights out on the town, and wild
weekend trips along the Garden Route. More importantly, I’ll miss our
conversations over dinner and talking each other up when we were feeling down. I honestly could not have hoped for a better roommate for this semester and can only hope my future housemates can live up to the bar you have set.
I knew this day would come but it doesn’t make it any better. I know I will
visit Lawrence, Kansas multiple times in the coming year so Tim, you better be
ready. Have a safe trip home and enjoy seeing
your family and your doggy!
Tonight I leave for Durban so expect a post and some
pictures when I come back!
