I'm Home

I got back from camp on Sunday, July 10th. It was amazing. Myself and another counselor, A, got really close. Honestly, I don't think I would have made it through the 6 weeks of camp without her. Being with her made the stress of dealing with 250 campers disappear for a while. I am hating not being with her right now. She is still at camp and will be through July 30th. Hopefully I will be able to plan a visit some time soon. It is really hard going from seeing someone everyday to not seeing them at all. I left not knowing what we were doing with each other. If we are over because it was just a summer fling or if we are trying to keep it together. I guess we'll figure it out. I hope we stay together, at least to some degree.

On July 11th I went to Austin for freshman orientation. It was long, boring, and the second I got there I started getting campsick (screw missing home, I want camp). C was there with me so I wasn't completely alone but it still sucked. The only exciting thing about it was going to a GLBT community meeting. I got to hear about the different GLBT clubs and see who all at orientation happened to be gay. A counselor friend, C, random guy M, and myself went 6th street Wednesday night. 6th street is extremely lame! There are approximately two 18+ clubs and they suck. Everything is either really country, 21+, or a bar. I hate bars; I like to dance. C and I had our ears pierced on Thursday after we registered for classes. C had 12 gauge rings put in both lobes and I had an industrial 12 gauge bar stuck through the top of my left ear. The pain made my toes curl. ouchies!!!

I am excited about school starting. My classes are: Chemistry, Biology, Nutrition, Psychology, and Pre-Cal. It feels good to know that the classes I'm taking actually have a real purpose. In high school you take random classes that don't matter like speech and P.E. and it always pissed me off because it was such a waste of time. My classes have meaning now, I will actually need to know Biology to do my job properly in the future. I find that amazing! Also a lot of great events are happening my first semester, like the Dalai Lama coming to speak. I think it will be a great year.
