Ah. It's nice to be back.
Although a lot of bad things happened on this year's trip, it was really nice to have an entire week to be with a small group of people and just get to know everybody. I felt so secure and warm with everyone on this trip, we didn't even need anything special to do. I really bonded with Toni and Annabelle, people that I love dearly but don't spend much time with. I felt such a sense of family: people could lean on each other's shoulders and not be accused of "liking" each other, I could say "I love you" to a guy and people would know that we were like brothers. It definitely wasn't the normal 7th-grade cliche.
I do wish and belive that there was a definate problem that less than half of the 7th grade went, but in a way it was nice to be in a small group. I was forced, almost, to socialize with people that I never talked to, and overall I had a wonderful time.
Thank you. I love you guys.
