i want to linger a little longer...
Sadly i'm done with camp. I must say I prefer my little bubble in the woods with my support system of awesome women and my routine that left me busy.
Highlights:
I learned to drive The Beast as promised.
I can start an ok fire.
I can set up a tent in no time.
I can take a group of girls into the woods for a week and not lose any of them!
And if you need to know how to get to St.'s Memorial Hospital in Lowell, I'm your girl.
I also learned that if needed, i can make a pretty mean splint out of literally anything and everything in your pack.
What can I say, i'm jealous of those who get to go back. That is an experience unlike any other, and you hate it and you love it, but even with all the times you feel like you can't possibly handle another day, or another issue, the good outweighs the bad when all is said and done.
As for the people, i miss them already. I've made friends that i know are true lifers, that would save me from anything...stress or injury or heart break. I think the best thing i've learned from them is that when armed with laughter you can combat anything. I laughed my way through ER visits, through "intruders" and fear, through physical pain and emotional pain. I guess there's no truly eloquent way to describe the experience so i'll just say this:
It's been one to rememble...
