This morning the 3D Maze group NEARLY finished our maze and we are soooooooooooooo happy about it. We have been working on it for every morning that we've been doing the Community Projects. Originally we thought that the maze would be the easiest job, but it became a lot of work when we realized we had to do the math to find out where we could place the maze and we had to redo the maze but we are so close to finishing it. Some of us saw some kids playing in it yesterday during their free time, and we were really glad we made something that we can watch them use. After community projects, we spent the afternoon with the kids for the last time during our trip, which made us sad that we won't be able to hang out and bond with them anymore. During ANCHOR before dinner, we all realized that it was almost our last day together. Susan said "this is the last ANCHOR we will do this trip" and everyone screamed "NO!!!!!!! WE HAVE TO DO ANOTHER ONE" so it has been decided that we are gonna do them every night before the trip ends. We have all bonded so much and some of us realized last night that we weren't friends before this trip and we fell like we've been friends our entire lives and it was a really weird realization. We've already been planning group outings and "dates" between us all on days that we are in Nashville at the same times.
Lately, everyone is trying to figure out how much food we can eat and how many places we can hit on July 3. Everyone is excited to be home soon in our own beds and excited to have some alone time, but really really sad that we aren't going to all be together to enjoy the AC and American food. We're going to text in the group text and we have millions of inside jokes that will be funny for ages and we won't ever forget. We know we still have 2 more days in India and a ton of time to chat on the planes, but we've been "mourning" (Stage 5 of a group on a trip) all day/night. We did some sleep Yoga last night before bed on the roof of the hexagon and we were all really relaxed and ready for bed when we got back to the houses. We've all had the best time on this trip despite the bugs and the heat (there was a nice breeze all day today that we all were super thankful for and the three 30 second intervals of rain throughout the day), and we are all really glad we came.
