So it's been well over two months. I'm very much done with camp and have been home a few weeks since. Camp this year was...a lot. I think the most exhausting and rewarding year ever. I don't know whats happening next year. I hope I can go back, I think I would like to. It's hard for me to work so closely with a big group of people, I'm Avoidant and Anxious and when this gets aggravated I become Paranoid. It's true that at camp I have a higher risk of panic attacks but I feel that the experience outweighs all of this. I can spend days there with crushing pain in my chest but it is always worth it. I love the staff, and I love having the opportunity to work with kids and take them seriously. I love being able to treat them as adults and not talk down to them and see the results. So, camp was great, but now it's over.
I moved at the beginning of the month. It was...intense. The new apartment is beautiful and newly renovated. So newly renovated that it...isn't quite finished. I'm still waiting on a door for my room. But it's ok. It's in Mission Hill, and the whole street and the streets around us are all college students. I think that's good for me, even if I tend to get aggravated by them being silly and loud while I try to sleep. Also, this semester I started classes at Tufts. It's very exciting, I'm there from about noon to 9:30 at night every Monday. The classes are very interesting. I was hoping to...you know...meet some boys. But I'm such a fucking social wreck that I doubt it's going to happen. I'm too smart or aggressive or ugly or something. It's kind of frustrating/depressing. What happened to guys pursuing someone? Fuck it, I don't need people.
Anyway here's a tv stand I found on the street during the big move. The first of September is a great time to get a ton of free furniture, which I did. My prized piece is an antique floor lamp that matches my bed. Anyway I painted this stand black and then put some swirly funky Victorian inspired floral patterns on it and sprayed it with acrylic gloss to protect it. Looks good.
