So I admit, this wasn't the most successful blog in the world. It got really busy traveling through so many countries and keeping up with the academic side of SAS.
Looking back, there really isn't a way I could easily put into words what I learned through SAS. The history of different countries that I wouldn't have know otherwise, the culture and customs of these countries, etc.
Two weeks after the voyage has ended, I am still reflecting and trying to piece everything together. There's a lot going on at home so I do it every so often. But I know that this voyage changed me in a way that I am a more globally aware person of the world.
I would recommend SAS to anyone. In my opinion, the academic portion of it was an absolute joke. It was unnecessarily stressful. But that's just me.
As I prepare my Malaysian white coffee and all the other stuff I brought from my trip, I know that I wouldn't have visited many of these countries if it wasn't for SAS.
There's still stuff all over my room, I need to do laundry, and figure out what I'm going to do with all those random pamphlets and little mementos I brought from the different countries. Throw them out? They're literally just sitting in my suitcase. I know I should scrapbook or something and then throw out what I don't use, but who knows when I'll ever get to that.
I miss the ship and my SAS friends.
I'm enjoying being home for the holidays and spending time with Danny and my friends but I'm about ready to go back to Cal and my life there. My last semester as a Cal student!! Bittersweet.
Unless I get more thoughts that I wish to post on the internet, this is possibly my last post. Thanks for reading friends :)
