im hooooooooooome
So I'm home... and it's a totally bittersweet feeling. It was so nice to sleep in my own bed last night with my dog laying next to me and it was so nice being able to say goodnight in person to my dad and Diana. And it's great knowing that tonight I'm going to see all my friends (minus a couple) at Steph's party.
--BUT--
I have never experienced anything like EXPLO before in my life, and I am dead serious when I say that those 3 weeks were THE best time of my life, hands down. I made incredible friendships with girls who now, I can't even imagine if they weren't a part of my life. It's so wierd to me feeling these kinds of things, probably because I've never been the camp type and I've never gone to a camp for that long of that type. So going into it, I had no idea what to expect. But wow.. it's so hard for me just sitting here trying to explain what I'm feeling in words. It's not even just the incredible people at Explo, but the entire atmosphere. After one night, I already miss waking up at 7:30, opening up my window and looking out onto the quad to see who was out and check what I needed to wear for the day, and then trudging down the hall to the "shower". This is getting long and it's making me sad lol, so basically I feel like I'm HOME but not really home yet. I need to see all of my friends and hang out just like usual with them to feel connected to home again. Because right now I feel like my heart is in New Haven, CT and my body is in West Bloomfield, MI. AHHHH THIS IS SO RIDICULOUSLY CHEESY! but it's true. I'm sorry. :(
Well I have a TON of camp pictures that I'll post sometime today on my YahooPhotos (link is in my profile) and if you want to know stories or something you can ask and I will be more than glad to share :)
I missed EVERY one of you back here and when I get my license tomorrow morning I am making my rounds around Dub B to see everyone who I haven't yet!!!!!!! CALL ME!
