We're done with our South American trip! This week of being back home has been amazing. Went wedding dress shopping for my sister with my mom, aunt and cousin. Cooked an awesome supper for my boyfriend's family. I missed so many of my friends, and I feel I've gotten to see a lot of them in the past couple of days. There was an awesome fundraiser party for a makerspace, and we went home with some company at 8am. Total success.

I have so much shit to do, and I kind of don't really want to leave for South Africa tomorrow. It's a full month of sleeping in tents ahead. But then I'll get to see some people I really miss, experience some awesome shit and I'll be back home soon!

My only worry right now it that I put my passport through the washing machine like a total dumbass. my photo's a bit washed out now. Making a new one would have been $400+ since it was easter weekend and I'd have to pay the maximum rush fee. So I opted against it and will hope I don't get denied entry. I have a solid plan B since I have a valid Russian passport and I don't require a visa to enter the country. But i'm still a bit worried since "security" is a great reason to ruin anybody's fun.
