in the sun

It has been such a wonderful, crazy and hectic semester, full of immense joy and early mornings full of exhaustion. It's hard to believe that this semester started out with snow and recruitment and even harder to believe that it will be over before we know it. We have six weeks left in the semester. In college time, I know this means I already need to prepare myself for goodbye or I may be overwhelmed by the end. I am excited for summer, who isn't? There is something magical about the heat of summer nights and the sun on your skin. This summer is opening doors into a new chapter of my life. In someways I am fulfilling a life long dream this summer. As a camper at Camp Willow Run, I always thought how wonderful it would be to live at camp all summer. That in fact is what I will be doing this summer. For those that know the camp, understand the train-themed camp, and the fact that I will be living in a boxcar all summer. I know the transition to summer will bring changes I am not quite willing to accept yet. Like the lack of communication with the outside world, the inability to skype, the early mornings, the distance with close friends. Of course, I know that there will be growth and joy that comes from being in charge of 1o girls for a week. I have no idea what to expect from this summer, or in reality even the next six weeks, but I am excited for the journey.

I can't help but love the blissful joy of new She & Him
