how depressing...
so i've kept up an e-mail communication with my favorite camper ever from last summer... she was in my backpacking unit in the first two weeks and then wrote me really great letters and sent an awesome package during the rest of the summer. So this was her first year of high school, so she's been really enthusiastic and excited about that, but now she's getting SUPER SUPER excited about it ending and summer coming really soon... she's going to THREE sessions- Rockin' High, Backcountry Adventure (again) and Cave&Wave.
so i've been avoiding telling her that i'm not coming back this summer- that i'm studying abroad in spain instead... but since her last email telling me about her plans for this summer i finally wrote her back yesterday telling her where i'll be... and i had a reply this morning and she was really disappointed. sure, i feel appreciated, but DAMN... i really hate it that i won't be going back... i'm going to miss it so much. She was really sweet though... this is her last year as a camper but she's determined to come back for CIT the following year, so she suggested that if i come back to camp then we might possibly work in a unit together... *grins* goodness i love camp.
she also said in her reply that at least she'd probably get to work with Bug, who was the other staff in the BCA unit last summer. unfortunately, i know that bug isn't going back either cause she's going to summer school. i'm not sure if i'll tell rachel that so she doesn't get her hopes up... cause i don't wanna disappoint her again and diminish any of the excitement and expectation she has for this summer. but then again, i wouldn't want her to arrive the first day and find out bug isn't there. tis a puzzlement.
