I'm really not tired. This is a problem. I want to go to bed. I should go to bed. Just not ready to. So, I think I'll rant.
First off, I decided that I would attempt writing my ex from high school, Emily. I guess I just felt that I should try to get in touch with her, see how she's doing. I sometimes look back and feel bad about how things ended. Had it been now, and not three and a half years ago, I probably would have handled it better. Hopefully she doesn't hate me, I'd heard that I wasn't someone she ever wanted to hear about, but maybe time has healed those wounds. Only time will tell.
I talked to my friend Kristen today, and the subject of camp came up. Now, I don't like to harp on the bad, but the camp is seriously going to hell in a hand basket. I've lost touch with those running it, but I can definetly tell. As of now, the website links to a discussion board that doesn't work, it's page counter is code lifted from last years site and it isn't working right anymore. They really don't update the page at all. Sigh…It's sad to see such an integral part of my life falling apart, but a lot of us saw this coming.
A lot of the problems really come down to how the camp is being run. While the current director, Jamie, is a good guy, he's not much in terms of running anything. Well, the true problem is that Jamie really lacks vision. He isn't capable of seeing what is new and exciting and teaching that. If you're going to run a computer camp, you have to have a true sense of what is hot and going on. Essentially, you have to know what is cool. He just doesn't, and in all honesty, know one who is making the major decisions for the camp does.
All of this has just led to a decline for the camp. It's sad, but it happens. Not all good things can continue to go on. I had a good time, and the memories and friends will last a lifetime.
So yeah…I don't think I have anything else to rant about at the moment. Bicker pick ups are tomorrow. That should be fun. Although it means I can't just sleep through the whole day. Alright, night all.
