I have had several people ask me lots of question, so i shall share some of those as well as the answers to the best of my knowledge.
Q: How long will i be gone?
A: I am planning on leaving early/mid January. School starts Jan 18th, so sometime before then. School then gets out for the year in mid November at which point i will return to Seattle in time for the Holidays.
Q: What type of school is it?
A: It is called Cape Town Theological Seminary. www.cts.org.za It is a small Bible college just outside of downtown Cape Town. Currently there are about 60 students i think.
Q: What will i study?
A: I don't know. Since i was in high school 8 years ago i have not done any college or schooling. So i have a lot of basic courses to start with. I will be taking all of those. You know, basic math, science, Bible classes. That sort.
Q: Where will i live?
A: I will live on campus in a dorm room. And yes, i will have my own dorm room and will not have to share. This will be a HUGE change for me since in a two bedroom apartment i can't even handle a roommate...and now i have to share a bathroom with 10 other ladies? UGH!
Q: Won't i miss my family?
A: Of COURSE! I will miss them LOTS! As well as all my friends! But i think that for now, at this point in my life, this is the right thing to do. I will see my parents a few times throughout the year as the college is the place they come when they take all their trips down to South Africa, but i also have many friends over there already as well. I was just at the school last October (2008) and so i even know some of the students. It's only a year! It's not forever!
and finally...
Q: What will you do with all your shoes?
A: I'm selling some of them. (let me know if you are size 7.5) I'm taking some of them, and I'm storing some of them. It will be hard because i am not shipping anything over to the school. I am just taking with me what i can carry. (plus sending stuff with mom and dad when they go down on another trip) So my awesome selections of things i have here will not be the same as over there.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

With the school being so small, will your credits likely transfer to other schools if you don't finish your degree in Cape Town?
YES! ( i hope.)
Per mom: CTS is a fully accredited school and all of your classes will transfer here. We made sure of that when we started this process. MOM
