Things that have happened during the lame summer blogging months I:
20 Aug 2011 Leave a Comment
- lived and worked at a Younglife Adventure camp
- processed a boat-load of past relationships and experiences over the summer
- got a tattoo
- nearly moved to Redding
- decided to stay in Davis and wait a year to try for UCD’s grad/credential program
- returned to the bike shop
- faced my doubt and learned a bit about love, Jesus and loving Jesus
- cried a bit
- laughed a lot
- gritted my teeth every once and awhile
- got a chaco tan
- lost a boat of kids while kayaking (we found them later looking at the seals)
- saw dolphin pods swim up and down the shoreline at 6 in the morning
- transitioned from camp life to home life and only cried once
- learned a bit more about love
- killed a bird only to find out it wasn’t a mercy killing like I had thought (TERRIBLE)
- learned more about forgiveness
- fell over on my bike while standing
- found an amazing roommate in Davis
- found my love for teenagers and teaching that I had lost while in Peru.
Even though I teared up on my way home after my first day back at the bike shop, the transition from the glories of camp life to being back in yolo county is not too bad. Hopefully, I’ll start writing more now that my every waking hour is no longer taken up by camp duties and relationships, which to be honest . . . was not a bad trade. But who knows what the future brings? Surely, not I.
