i'm back in town boys and girls!
it feels so strange to be back. the whole afternoon i was amazed at how clean and white and big my house is. after two weeks of living in cabins and dorms and spending the day barefoot outside under the sun, city life really strikes me as so regulated and sanitized and so "gaudy sophistiqué"
a huge thank you to Garry (dufour), Jen (salty), Rosanna, Rebecca (dory), Mel (stumpee), Julia (diblee), Charline (duckie), Sara (salsa), Tori (otter), Whitney (rouger), Emily (button), Leslie (benalyn), Pat (whopper), Jason (reebok), Brad (phonics), and many many others who made my three weeks at IAWAH totally amazing. It wouldn't have been the same without even one of you!
i think one of the biggest things i've learnt at camp is that while man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart...so we should as well. I've met so many people at camp who are so beautiful because of their hearts, no matter what they look like on the outside. the past two weeks have taught me to look at people from the inside out; to look at who they are before i look at their appearance.
on that note, i think doing dishes with John (poppins) has made me the envy of every other girls camper on premises. i can say completely objectively that this boy is adorable. so much for looking from the inside out.
