I'm going to try and type this without crying.
This was the best week of my Summer. Camp Wright was so amazingly awesome.
My cabin had the 5 most amazing girls, Julia being one of them. We were so close, and always stuck together and could talk about anything. Most of my cabin (except for Tay) did Kyaking (spelled wrong) in the morning and that was my favorite class. There was only 7 kids in it, with 2 really cool counselors and we got to kyak in the bay instead of some scummy dirty lake. A kid named Scotty always decided to jump into me and Jules boat and capsize it and we all just flipped eachother over and had the best time. I also learned to swingdance. Now that was funny.
My 2 counselors in my cabin weren't all that great and we didn't really like them, but oh well. they did let us order pizza for lunch one day if we paid for it. so we got 50 dollars worth of food from Dominoe's. there were alot of other really cool counselors, like Amy, my boating one and James (whose real name is shawn). The guys counselors were cooler though, cause like boys got in trouble for being on the girls side, but me and jules went into Mac and Wesleys cabin (J.D. Post) and i was laying in Mac's bed with him and his counselor didn't even care. And i could sit and watch Mac and his counselor Jeremy play the "panty" game forever. they just sit there and say the word "panties" and whoever laughs loses. its the most stupidest game but it so funny watching them play it.
The boys at camp were the greatest people too. At first I didn't know any of them, and when it was "hangout time" all the girls cabins were hanging with the boys and our cabin...wasn't. But we slowly met them. We had a camp talent show thing and they only gave us a day to think of something, so one of the boys cabins dressed up as girls and danced to "Toxic". I have never laughed so hard. I've got pictures too. I'll scan them and post them. But theres this kid Matt who has long-ish blonde hair and it's kind of on the small side, so when they were all in their mini skirts and tanktops and makeup, he had his hair in a head band and i swear no one noticed that there was a boy on the girls side of camp. Then there's Wesley. Me and Julia are his jersey whores. I miss having him to make fun of me. he was my favorite guy at camp.
actually, my favorite guy was Mac ♥. I started talking to him like the 3rd day, and i was with him ever since. We were always together. His real name is Chandler..Mac came from something from his middle name..i don't know. but i liked him alot, he's so cute.
There's my Virginia too. i would have been so homesick without her. She's been coming to camp for like 6 years, 2 sessions a summer, her mom is the nurse. she loves everyone. sweetest person i'll ever know. and shes gorgeous. She gave me kisses everyday, and i layed in her lap and she was like my Dana. She can't come back next year as a camper, and i'll miss her so much. I promised to visit her, and when i left we both were sobbing.
so here's the part that will make me cry.
We had been having really crappy weather almost all week. So on saturday morning, they announced that parent's had been called, and everyone was to leave that afternoon instead of the next day on account of they were expecting a hurricane. it was going to hit the camp hard because it's right on the Chesapeake Bay and the wind and all kicks up. That was when everyone started crying. Julia kept asking me if he was kidding. And Virginia didn't even want to hear it. Most of the camp was people who were already 14 and couldn't come back as a camper next year, and most of my friends couldn't come back like me, so i knew i'd never see them again. Everyone that couldn't come back went up and held the candle and said how long they've been going and how much they loved camp. some people had been going for 8 years. It was so sad. i just cried and Mac had his arms around me and was hugging me, and i was holding Virginia's hand as they explained how we would try and fit everything into that last hours, like the dance and the banquet and everything. And the guys were even crying. So we went and packed everything up.
now for the worst part. We weren't supposed to leave until 4. But my mom came to pick me up at 1. I saw her and just started crying. I refused to go home, i didn't want to leave so early. she got mad at me for not hugging her and telling her how much i missed her, but i didn't care. She said she'd go get something to eat and come back for me, but that only bought me an hour. So i stayed for the camper awards thing, and for my cabin i got freindliest cause "she was always at other peoples tables during meals". everyone started laughing, cause they knew i spent most of the time at Wesley and Mac's table.
It came time when i really had to leave cause my mom was getting mad waiting for me, so i said goodbye to everyone and it was so sad. i hugged Tay and lauren and rachael and anne (my cabin girls) and started crying and told Wesley i'd miss him the most cause he couldn't come back next year, and me and Jules promised to hang out with him next time we go to Maryland. Then i went to go say bye to Mac, and we went outside and kissed even though everyone was watching but no one cared cause it was the last day. And i promised i would come back next year (he can come back too). And i defidently am. and then i'll cry even harder cause next year will be my last year.( Im planning on becoming a CIT then counselor) Then Jay-mo and Virginia walked me to my car, and i left. I just cried the first 10 minutes of the car ride, and my mom wouldn't talk to me cause she was mad, but i didn't care.
when i got home, i called Virginia cause she told me to so she'd know i got home safe. ( i ♥ her ) then dana and devon come over a little bit after. it was so great to see them. i missed them so much. We hung around and then dee went home and i went to devon's and then me her and dee went to see Napoleon Dynamite but it was sold out so we came back to my house and watched The Butterfly Effect. I fell asleep cause i was dead tired. im used to going to bed at 11 and waking up at 7.
now im here. and i need to shower.
but last night in the car i was holding devons hand and i was sleeping on her shoulder (which i loved doing, cause i missed her so much and i love her so much) but it made me miss Mac.
and i miss camp so much.
