College is Scary

So I leave on Saturday. To college. I packed a bag full of clothes and shoes (and my camera bag. Stupid US Air only allowing ONE carry-on). And I have an outfit that I'm going to wear on the plane (so I don't have to pack it) and I'm waiting for some laundry to be done. Then I will stuff even MORE clothes into the single bag. Then all my electronics will be going into my backpack, as well as a few books and things.

A lot of people have been asking me "So what does it feel like?" and the truth is, it hasn't hit me yet. It feels like any other summer day. But it started hitting me because I started packing. No, I haven't actually cried yet, but little things have been getting me on the verge of tears all day. Picking out one camp shirt to bring almost made me cry. But other than that it's just random-not-connected-to-any-one-moment/thing almost-crying-ness. It sucks.

(and the camp shirt thing was also because the funding for humane education was cut, which is stupid, so there's no camp ever anymore... which is pretty damn depressing.)
Here's a link to a video one of the teen staff made last summer
Here's a Camp Paws Tumblr full of cute pictures of dogs and a little about what we do!
And here's a link to the non-profit Love is Action that we created to help Humane Education

Sorry for all the links, but if you could check it out then that would make me very happy! Camp means a lot to me and to all the teen staff and campers that we have had over the 12 years Camp P.A.W.S. has existed!
