So guess what, friends and neighbors? I did go to Mathcamp. I went and lived the dream and came home. Most, if not all, of you know this, but I can't believe how long it's been since I updated LJ. I'm doing okay so far, the Mathcampsickness has not yet overwhelmed me. I think it's usually worse at night, but I am saving Harry Potter as an escape; whenever I get too sad, I'll read it. I feel pretty clever about this, actually. This year is different, though, because I'm leaving for school and another adventure in three weeks, as opposed to simply starting another year at South. It's terrifying, but that would be unbearable, I'm pretty sure. There's just something about going to the same school as another Mathcamper, even if it is David Rush, lol, and being in close proximity with all the Boston folk. Even thinking, just now, about how I won't be going back to MC, doesn't make me feel hopeless. Most of what makes Mathcamp Mathcamp is the people, and I feel now like I have access to people like that, much moreso than being stuck here in Colorado. After Exeter comes college, and as long as I pick a reasonable place to live after that, I won't have to do without Mathcamp-esque people ever again. And I just bought a computer! So, overall, life is as good as can be expected post-MC. Thank goodness.
