Homeward Bound

"If I leave here tomorrow,
would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now.
'Cause there's too many places I've gotta see.
But if I stayed here with you, girl,
things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you cannot change"

As they say, all good things must come to an end.  Our adventure in Belize concluded with an exam and presentations in the morning and one last horseback/river tubing ride in the jungle.

Our night was far more eventful.  We went out to dinner with our professors/administrators and went to an awesome Karaoke bar, where we proceeded to make fools out of ourselves by singing American classics such as "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "The Bad Touch".  In an effort to get one last "Slow Tornado" dance in [the most AMAZING Belizian rap song eva] we proceeded to head on over to our favorite hotspot affectionately named "The Marklar Bar" [South Park fans may get the reference].  After a few tequila shots, A LOT of dancing [mostly to Shakira's "Africa"], and some more singing [to Toto's "Africa"] we left around 1:00...to head over to the Casino/lounge.  I guess there really is something to be said about twenty-something year olds' ability to party hard into the night [despite early flights the next morning].  After drinking my weight in water, we finally went to bed to detox and get a few hours sleep.





 
Saturday was filled with bittersweet goodbyes and long plane rides home [in which my family did not even recognize me when I arrived]. 

I had an INCREDIBLE time and I recommend this program to any pre-vet student who wants to study abroad and get animal experience.

School starts in two weeks...*sigh*

Cheers!
