Summer’s Winding Down

I can’t believe how summer’s flown! It goes by so quickly every year but for some reason this one has passed by even faster than ever. Camp is the most consistent thing in my life: It’s always joyful, fun, rewarding, and the same. With all the changes that we make every year camp in its essence doesn’t change and will always be home.

I’m BEYOND excited for 4th year. It just feels like it’s got so much potential. I’ve been working with my co-committee members on MHAC stuff, so I know that that’s already in motion. I start at the pub the 31st and I’m very excited to meet new people and make some moolah. I don’t know too much about PSC yet but I’m sure it’s starting up around frosh week too. And my classes are DOPE. I feel like I have very few hours in class but everything I’m taking totally fascinates me. AND OUR HOUSE! Everything so far is just sounding so great.

Last night, Nick and I went to a party and stayed less than 10 mins. Instead, we decided to go midnight bowling which was just the funniest thing of all time. Having a car has made everything so easy. I read “Night” by Elie Wiesel yesterday, which I’ve read in the past, but not since having visited Auschwitz, and that hit hard. I’m getting back in history mode. Sometimes I feel as if my life is going on without me in it and I want to start living more in the present.

What else is new? Hm. Got a new computer! Have had some hilarious staff events at camp. I love the people I work with more than I can say. A bunch of 15-25 year olds who just have so much in common and so much respect for one another. When I’m with them I feel like anything’s possible. They’re so kind. I’ll miss them as always! Thank goodness summers always come again.

Okay, not too much to say, but the countdown is on! Can’t wait to see you ladies xxx Syd
