I know this week isn't even over yet, but I feel like I've had a total of 6 hours of sleep all week thus far. I know that's probably an exaggeration, but I feel so dang tired. Oh well, I should get used to it.
Anyhow, the first week back from Camp Everytown is almost over. It's so hard. You go to this camp, create a perfect world where there are no judgments made whatsoever, and then they throw you back into the real world to see you drown. At least that's how it seems. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved camp. I would go back in a second, no a millisecond. By the way: if you ever have the opportunity to go, don't pass it up for anything. It's one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. It may even be the most amazing experience I've ever had. Well, back to what I was saying... I didn't think it would be so hard. I thought people supported you after you went to camp. I thought they would be trying just as hard as you were to not pass judgment, to not be prejudice. I've got to say, I'm surprised; and it isn't a good kind of surprised either. People need to think before they speak. I've always known this, but Camp Everytown brought that thought from the back of my mind to the front. I never really knew just how much people did all this crap: make judgments for no reason, speak just to hurt someone, and stuff like that. I don't know. This just makes me realize how fortunate I am to be able to say that I've had the experience of Camp Everytown and how much so many other people need it. I wish everyone in our entire school could go at some point. I think it would definitely bring about the change we need.
I feel like I've been going, going, going all week, non stop. And it doesn't stop. Tomorrow I've got school and then Meera and I need to be at Cinequest at 5PM for CSF. Saturday morning I have to be at school from 8AM-12PM to tutor Spanish 2 kids who need help. Saturday night at 7PM-ish, I'm going to Chili's to reunite with my fellow Everytowners. Sunday is Mariel's and my Grandpa's birthday and at 3:15PM I have to be at school to set up for the WASC people's reception/tea type thing. I don't know exactly what it is, but whatever. Whoa. I just realized that I'll be at school every day until NEXT Saturday. Sheesh. Maybe I should just live there. Haha, kidding. I like my home... in Milpitas(=
If you haven't bought your dance ticket yet, buy it tomorrow! Pretty please?
Also, if you haven't bought your ticket for Trojan Olympics, let me know! I still have some left.
PS: I'm a bit confused at the moment. A bit confused, a bit hopeful, a bit a lot of things. CRAP. Being a teenager sucks sometimes.
