Ah, well. All good things must end.
I must say, Day 4, despite being our final day, was not nearly as emotional as I might have guessed.
I woke up happy, and ready for school. My revelation the night before did not fade with the night. I felt at peace, and at the same time excited for the future--for once, not afraid of it. We spent the morning in yell practice, eating, packing, exchanges contact information, hugging each other good-bye. We bid our counselors farewell some time after lunch, jumped onto the bus (a very subdued ride home--most people slept. I didn't--music time, was my idea--but there were some good conversations going on as well.) Two hours back to college station, then we got there to find that the luggage van left AFTER we did...so another few hours of sitting around waiting for our bags to get there.
That's really about it. What else can I say? By 5 o'clock I had said my last goodbyes and given my last hugs. I love these people, campers and counselors alike. I have hope for this year now.
I think the moral of this story is, find a group, and you will find a place to be. I doubt Camp Shehane will be the only group I participate in--I'm about to join an entire Theatre community, after all--but it's definitely one I want to stay in touch with. I really admire and respect the people I met over those four days, and I'm grateful to have met them all.
FISH CAMP 2010, NOW THE PARTY CAN BEGIN!!
