defining moments
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results."
This quote defines my experiences this summer. Camp is like this intense melting pot of drama and events and challenged to over come. There's really nothing else like it out there. Somedays- I feel damn I'm not cut out for this and want to run away. But after all the craziness has subsided, there's so much that has been learned and taken in. Jim says camp is a classroom and you're always learning and he is so right.
I have learned so much about myself and my strengths and weaknesses and about people. Learning how to deal and cope with tense situations has been hard but I'm getting much better.
For those of you who question my desicion to start talking to Casey again, him and I had a really long talk and discussed what went wrong on both sides in our relationship. Personally I've been dealing with things much better after that. He's going to be moving down south soon, and when that happens then I will stop talking to him for awhile..or a very long time or forever.
While I've been at camp he's been an awesome and supportive friend and a great resource for me. He rented a car just so he could come hang out with me on my night off. I feel both us have evolved and hopefully I can let go and we can be friends someday.
I have 3 evatulations to do tonight two of them might be a bit challenging but it will be a good experience and practice for me.
Tomorrow is the end of second session and the beginning of a much needed weekend off. I've made it halfway through the summer. Right now I am leaning towards moving back to Milwaukee after camp, but not positive. We'll see... hope you're all rockin :)
