| | hello all, i am back in perry point using the newly updated wireless computer lab!!! if only they had done this a few months ago, things would have been a little easier. but oh well. so we wrapped up our project in huntington and it just continued to get better after my last entry. we finished up the cabins we had been working on and building the foundation for a new building. this ended up being a somewhat tedious at times job, but overall incredible, because this was the first time we actually started such a big project from scratch and then got to see the end result - by the time we left we had completed the whole foundation and the floor boards. it's going to be awesome to return to the camp (which we all plan to do eventually) and look at the building and know that we built the beginning of it. our team also came together and we learned how to really work together, and i think this project benefited us more than we ever thought it would. just like with every project in the past, we have come out stronger than we were before. leaving our beautiful new home and our amazing sponsors was hard, but we were all glad to get back to the point to spend our last week with everyone else.
and so that bring me to now, four days until graduation. there are honestly no words to express how this feels; it is so much more than graduation from high school or college ever felt like. i guess i'll wait and say most of this after graduation happens as sort of a closing for myself, but i'll just say that these last few days are going to be some of the most emotional days of my life, and i honestly don't know how long it's going to take me to get over it and feel normal again after this year ends. i've decided to go straight back down to biloxi with some of my team (megan, tasia, danielle, michelle, and kristen) right after graduation for a little over a month - even though i do want to go home and i know that everyone was counting on seeing me soon - because i want to return to do work, but mostly because i want to ease the saying goodbye process just a little...i really don't think i could handle saying bye to ALL of those people on one day...already it's going to be terrible, having to say goodbye to my housemates and the rest of my team. anyway i'm trying to live it up these last few days as best i can but the fact that it's all almost over is always in the back of my mind.
so the next time i write it will probably be over, and then i'll be home before you know it! and even though i am sad about this year ending, i am so excited to come home and be with everyone, when i get there it will have been almost a year, and that is way too long to be away from home.
