so it's really the 3rd.

it's been such a long time since i've sat down to write another chapter in this online journal. i guess camp just really took over. that and the fact that for the last 2 weeks of my summer, david was in california visiting. which was wonderful. but more on that later.

despite my many tirades about it, i was somewhat sad to see camp end. i guess more sad about saying goodbye to some of the people i really enjoyed spending time with, more than anything. i went to the last staff party of the session, which was fun and good for me and, though it was the last day, really let me get to know some more about some of these people i spent 9 weeks of my life with. makes me wish i had gone to the earlier parties.

ah, yes, but the highlight of the summer was definitely david's visit. having him there really helped to complete my summer; i did so many more things with him that i wanted to do but didn't want to do alone. we went camping in the redwoods, went to marin headlands, had a bonfire on ocean beach (with corey and will), wandered around berkeley, went to a bar in north beach, went to the exploratorium (one of my very favorite places in san francisco), went out for meals... it was really just what i needed at that point in the summer. i don't think he realizes how much it meant to me for him to come all the way out from iowa to spend 2 weeks in lafayette, california. he's truly amazing.

so, now i'm back here at swarthmore. david and i flew out on saturday, which, coincidentally, was the same day that all the first years arrived. that was crazy. i can't believe i'm a senior. this is it, in 9 months i'll be outta here. i need to figure shit out. i need to make sure i get the most i can out of this last year. a goal.
