take a bow, as the curtain closes
Tomorrow's the big day. I head out at around 9 a.m. towards Hume Lake, and towards a summer full of... (drawing a blank)... well, I'm not too sure, actually. I have no idea what's coming. To be honest, I rode away from Hume last year with a bunch of jr. highers, thinking it would be the last time I'd ever see Hume. 8 years as a camper... 8 years. But to actually work there, on staff, doing gritty cleaning work... I have no idea what I'm in for. I actually like cleaning, so that part of it won't be unbearable... but the new summer staff of 350, the 1000 campers every week, the rules, the schedules, the friendships... honestly? I'm nervous. Borderline scared. While I've volunteered at camps before, this is a whole other story.
So it's 12:30am, and I have to be up in about 6 1/2 hours or so. I should try and push these nerves aside to get some well-needed sleep. So, my dear friends, I bid you adeiu. I'm not sure how often I'll be able to update, so it might be a few weeks before you hear anything.
I know alot of you are bummed I won't be around this summer... but I need this. I need to experience new things and really understand for once in my life what it means to serve other people. I love you all.
