Like that Dar Williams song, but much less depressing.
For anyone whom it affects, I am getting back to Oberlin on Sunday night.
It's a strange day, today. Campers left this morning and more are coming in a few hours, just like every Saturday, but now I'm packing too. I am stripping down 3 months of living from the walls of tiny Lads 9 and squishing it in my car. Mog left this morning along with Hannah, and Sylvie and other Hannah are leaving today.
I did a lot of cool things this summer. I did a lot of nothing, too. Again, this place has revived me from a scary bad place and is sending me out towards something I'm afraid of, but excited for too. I think I learned this summer how to believe in myself. I think I grew up. I also learned how to make bread and veggie stock and awesome tomato sauce, how to cut lemons in the shape of a crown, how to do Border Morris, how to flirt in an innocent way, how to dance in heels, and how to take a day off and take care of myself.
