So I'm applying

To work as a counselor at a summer camp in Northern California this summer. The application/ interview process are pretty intense but I'm so down for it. I miss the warm California sun and this seems like a really good opportunity. Wish me luck!

missing camp hardcore...

being a CIRCLEr was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. the people i met and the bonds i made as well as the growth within myself was exponential. being back has had it's ups and downs and i'm still in an incredibly balanced state with myself and surroundings but i want to go back. i can't wait until i can work there next year and have all the pieces come together. i've wanted to go through with this program for years and i finally completed it. the quote "go as far as you can see, and once you get there you can go further" applies so much to this experience. the "now what" feeling looms but the future is promising and exciting. the family and community has become a huge part of me; i am myself because of camp. i thank Kayla, Maddy, Claudia, Brian, and the countless staff that helped me reach where i am now.

The Desiderata of Happiness

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

CIRCLE 2012!

So excited, but nervous for a new and different year of camp as well as many firsts for CIRCLE. I've been waiting for this moment for the longest time. I could never let camp go even as I get older.

I got to see my Camp Augusta s2 friends today. I haven't seen most of them since the last day of camp. Words cannot explain how close we are and still remain. We are family. I love the bond we have, the way we laugh, love.
