"the seasons have changed and so have we."
this is going to be me bitching.
i feel as if the transition from camp to home has been wholly made, ive vistied with almost everyone that i put on hold for the months of june july & august and the normal rythem of fall has been resumed.  Classes, family dinners, coffee/going out with friends.
but naturally  ( Read more... )

i dont know what is wrong with me but i have found myself sleeping on the floor for half of the night. i suddenly hate my amazing bed. i miss my fourth session bed. i miss the horrid matress with my egg crate on top and my tyedye wall hangings and my northface sleeping abg and the christmas lights that were on every night just to charge our phones ( Read more... )

squeaky swings and tall grass
the longest shadows ever cast
the waters warm and children swim
and we frolicked about in our summer skin
i dont recall a single care
just greenery and humid air
then labor day came and went
and we shed what was left of our summer skin
on the night you left i came over
and we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
our brand new ( Read more... )

this fall i will:
become a running fiend. go apple picking. take an obscene amount of frameable pictures. take vitamin C every day. wear cute fallish clothes (buy one of those new scarvey things). plan a trip out west. hike alot.  fill out the appropriate job applications. take at least one road trip east. giggle.

as always, its unspeakably strange to come home, and not have your life governed by a schedule of bells.
its also odd because tonighjt will be the first night i have gone to sleep alone  just about all summer. every night i have had somoen in the bunk above me giggling with me over gossip. this evening is the first time ive been away from meliss or ( Read more... )

mmm.
yet another realization: after four summers at cbc, the lack of summerish going out outfits i have is flat out ridiculous.
in the past four summers dressing up to go out is extremely casual. when you are going to bars that are on the beach and floor is constituted of hardwood floor somewhere beneath the sand, you dont have to dress up much. in ( Read more... )

 two things i learned during 1st session 2008 at cbc:
1.) i like cooked cauliflower. alot. after years of shunning it at grandmas, its actually quite good.
2.) sausage patties, although they have 857 calories a piece, are the best morning food after an evening of consuming a bit too much alcohol.
i was in serious need of one this morning. i improvised ( Read more... )

its times like these that we learn to live again
so, the ten days that i wzs dreading came and went. and i bit my tongue for the most part. i wore cute bikinis and hid behind oversized sunglasses. and yet, despite the oversize sunglasses, i was suppsedly rolling my eyes whenever he called my name (?).
unless you have xray vision.......
and he told his ( Read more... )

thers this place that i go where nobody knows where the rivers flow and i call it home
im not going to lie, this session has been rough. 
my girls are amazing. the best cabin i think ive ever had. my cos are fab. but...
it has been very reflective. this is my fourth summer, and still, as much as the place feels like my second home, sometimes, i find ( Read more... )

 the thing that sucks the most about having boys as bffs is that when they get girlfriends things change. and i realize that that is natural to certani degree. but sometimes it sucks. for example, ever since a started dating a, things have never been the same. because she has jealousy issues and freaks out. and lies. oh, and hes lame.
im hoping k & ( Read more... )
