(no subject)
Continueing on my recent thoughts on the nostalgia and bittersweet feeling I always get each Spring. The weather is getting nice, it's back to camping, climbing, and hiking. I passed by the mirror and noticed I'm starting to get some color and that great racoon look. The sports bra tan has began, and my legs are scratched to bits.
This was the last full weekend with the entire Corps together, and I organized a campfire at Mt Misery. People came, brought alcohol, and I spent half the time wondering if the truck on the road was the park ranger coming to kick us out (as he did with the last group of Coasties), and the other half soaking up the drunken conversation and wondering if this is the last time we'll do something like that. I'm a small group person, and it was entirely too big for me, but it was good to give people the excuse to spend time together. I wonder when the next time I'll be at Mount Misery will be. Last year Vic and I were the token 2/c, and we had a few of them at the fire. Hopefully they remember this place last year.
This was my last full weekend with James too. He goes on Leave next weekend, and will probably spend part of the weekend with me. I'm really sad about that... but happy that after gradution, Vic, James and I are off to WV for some climbing action, and then the three of us head to Chicago. I'm not a particularly good rock climber, but it's fun and the company will make it even better.
I've realized that I honestly don't care if I see 90% of the Academy ever again. But those 10%... I'm not sure how to live without them.
