camp






Back to writing.

(Sol and Claire)

Camp was a blast. Its always fun to be surrounded by people completely different from you. All my roomies and other staff concluded from the vast amount of books engulfing my bed and my crazy conversations that I am in fact a nerd. I will miss bad hair days that no hat could cover, giving tours of the camp at the beginning of camp informing the kids of important information like "dont pick up the red yellow and black snakes", jumping into muddy pits, and hiding in the woods making animal noises for the kiddos. But even more I will miss getting excited with Rachel about politics, playing the piano with james, shopping with my friend from germany franziska while discussing Nazism, friend from kenya sam who we all enjoyed playing songs while watching to bright night sky, my sweet roomies, my bff laura, sitting around the table with my intellectual comrades beau and stephen, long talks with janice, nights in zach's tree house, but most of all I will miss my irish friend claire who showed me that regardless of cultural barriers our God is the same and works in many of the same ways. ( I will also miss her OCD habits such as counting her 12 pens next to her bed every night before she went to bed.)
