A Delay To Thank Some People

My original plan was to start posting my notes/journals from camp today. What I forgot about was the 25 Thank You cards that needed to be written to the individuals who came to my graduation party and helped me, essentially, pay for my lovely new computer. So, before I can sit down and type up everything I want to say about camp, I need to spend today and tomorrow getting all of those written and mailed out.

I also really miss the place. It was really hard being at work today. Last week was bliss - despite the difficulties, the challenges, the sweat, and the sunburn (all in time, people), I loved every second of it and new right from the start that it was going to be something that I would never forget. As such, looking at the pictures and just typing this are difficult things. I realize it was only a week, but to me and the rest of us from the team - it felt like a so much longer. One person actually remarked saying we got as immersed and it felt as long as her semester abroad. To sit here now realizing that I may never see any of those kids again is really difficult. It't different from a college friend who moves home because you talk to them still - there is some contact. With both the kids and the staff - that won't happen and the 'cold turkey' is harsh.
