Last weekend our whole Grad skipped Friday and went camping. it was a beautiful time and fun to see our whole grad bond like this and to see all in one place, having fun and helping each other and staying strong in the rain and cold. we had rain dripping on our 12 men tent and on our sleeping bags and a strong engaged man fixing everything for us girls. Every time the sun would come out we would run and take pictures and enjoy the beach and the little trails that would lead off track and the changing of the clouds from sunny to tornado warning. All the grad girls and guys would sit around one fire and enjoy food and share things and it was so interesting to hear bits and pieces of everyone’s past life’s and how everyone used to connect to each other, even though i would never fully understand their stories and experiences, it is always beautiful to see everyone flow over theirs and to hear what the people they have lived so many years with are planning for the future. i am so happy i was able to experience this type of thing with people i sometimes feel like i barely know, and missing the people i could do the same thing with but having missed all of that, i am still so glad to be here at this place and live this life with all it’s differences and similarities and different stories from people across the world and it has been beautiful and makes me sad but also starting to feel more ready for graduation, knowing that we at least have our last moments together before we all go our own ways, where ever they might lead to.

(this is all Film and there is one more to come, if it worked out at all)
