2:30 a.m. EST
Our last morning of the trip is met with both happiness and sadness at the same time. It’s not your typical mixed emotions, but while all of us are happy for another day of island living and mingling with locals, we’re also happy that we get to go home very soon but sad the trip is coming to a fast and untimely end. We left our hotel and headed to our third and final university of the trip, Girne American University. They are located in the same city we were staying in right on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. When we arrived, some of us went out and met more students, and even found some of the students we had met in the city earlier, while our leader and some other students met with some of the head administrators to talk about our two schools, in hopes of one day forming a partnership between us and being able to exchange students between campuses for the summer or regular school year semesters. They were very hospitable giving us free information on their school and even a free lunch in their cafeteria, which was surprisingly very good to see a cafeteria that actually serves food. The school has about 5,000 students with the hopes of educating 10,000 students by the year 2010. It went very well on that campus, exchanging information with high interest of joining together one day. It is the same school two of my friends attend, but we called them when we were there and they didn’t have classes today. We left the university with high anticipation with the thoughts of what might become of our two schools future together, and the future of so many friends we met on that campus. The e-mail conversations when we get home are going to be great!
