SAYING GOODBYE!!!

So today was my last day.  Saying goodbye to all my friend really hurt but this was an amazing experience and I cant wait until I come back. The people here have became my family.  Each person I became close to has a special place in my heart; and ill see you all next year. I love you all and well, hey, you know what they say "gimmie two claps and a rick flare."- Hannah.

Pulling out of camp. 

DAY 18 AT GEARUP!!!!!!!

Today basically everyone is leaving. Its the final showcase everyone is rushing and running around trying to finish work, finish packing,  finshing getting ready, and saying goodbye to all our friends.  I talked for our history class. I had a poem in the showcase and won honorable mentions in our photography contest. I cried when all my friends left. Its so hard to say goodbye but I still have one more night here and I plan to come back so. I say this with a bittersweet feeling, everything is well and good here.

DAY 17 AT GEARUP!!!!!!!!

Okay so today we went to a baseball game  ( The Legends won.) and Golden corral, that was fun. Everyone was getting packed up when we got back. Its gonna be sad to see everyone go after the showcase tomorrow. Ive made lots of friends here and i'm really gonna miss them. I know i'm gonna cry. i'm gonna try not to but i already know its not gonna work out for me. When our staff walked into the study room everyone started screaming "3 more weeks." Part of me wants to stay but i know its time to go home. All in all this has been amazing.

DAY 16 AT GEARUP!!!! 

we are  now coming down to our final days. Today was our friend Taco's 18th birthday. We had a party for him in the basement and then had trivia night and the talent show.  I sang "I see fire" by Ed Sheeran 

While my friend Kaitlyn played guitar. She also sang a solo and it was "ill be" by Edwin McCain and dedicated it to me. It really touched me and many other people here. Today was a good day.

DAY 15 AT GEARUP!!!!!!

Tuesday here, and everything is crazy. Finishing class projects, practicing for the talent show, preparing for the final showcase. I am completely swamped with work. Its exhausting, i'm sure all of you are exhausted as well. I think everyone should take a minute to appreciate the simple beauties in life like this flower for example.

DAY 14 AT GEARUP!!!!!!!!!!

Today was Monday which means new electives today. I started my history alive class today and I really like it. We are going on a field-trip tomorrow so that should be interesting. I am basically caught up with all my work I need to be and I am really happy about it. Once I sign off here for the night I'm planning on going to take more pictures to add to my visual aid for my final speech, that i will be doing in the showcase.

DAY 13 AT GEARUP!!!!!

Today is Sunday so for me yes, sleep day again.  I literally did nothing today except for sleep, swim, and do the GEARUP Olympics. The highlight of my day was ordering my Chinese food.
