i spent the evening at starbucks (now open twenty-four hours!) with jill and em and lek while the snow came down. my mom predicts a snow day for ridgefield schools tomorrow, so it looks as though the whole family might be home with me. maybe their presence will inspire me to finally call outward bound and register for the chile trip. i also need to renew my driver’s license, get my passport and join the new ridgefield rec center so i can start training.
late notice, i’m officially re-accepted at mount holyoke, so i’ll be going back as a junior in the fall of 2004. hopefully living with holly and working at the saw center again, and perhaps working weekends at camp? now i’m listed as white, emily l (06/lv-year) in the online directory, which i think is cool in a mysteriously mysterious sort of way. and apparently my p.o. box number remains the same. in other academic news, i got my grades from hamilton, and i made the dean’s list! a in jazz, a- in lit & environment, a- in comp sci and b- in social psych. it’s not fair that those grades won’t count toward my stellar gpa at mount holyoke, but now i have 62 graduation credits, i’m almost a junior already and i will still graduate in may 2006.
came up with lots of new craft ideas. tomorrow i’m going to work on my new canvas tote bag, and i’m also plotting some curtains for my room, marble magnets, beaded charms for just about everything i own, tiny paper mache lanterns, a mosaic, personalized ribbon belts, and some striped pajama pants/scrubs. and, if i ever have a desktop computer again, i want to spray paint the cpu case hot pink. wild!
jessy and i are going to go visit alana and danny at uvm at some point this semester. i talked to alana today about applying to new camps. i hope we end up going somewhere together. i’m all about meeting new people, of course that’s important. but it’s also really important to me that i get to hold onto my history, and camp people are such a significant part of that history.
