the countdown continues...
well as the final week of atdp winds down many feel the despair of returning to a life-full of monotony and loads of work, myself included. i never imagined the imprints left on a person from those he has come in contact with. i know when i return to regular school, i will definitely miss yelling out "STUDY HALL!", well actually i won't, but let's just say to arouse nostalgiac emotions. no really, i will miss being a "mentor", or at least trying to do the best i have done. with this summer and every summer i've been involved with CHAH and ATDP each is a different rollercoaster ride, some more twisted and scarier than others. but finally, having a position as a responsible "head of the household", this summer has definitely been a little more heart-racing than others. coming into this summer i imagined plenty of work and stress, but never did i imagine how exhausted i'd be. i've actually fallen asleep in study hall! which is bad, but the weight of my eyes seems to out-muscle my eye lid strength. so i'll leave CHAH very tired, but with a little more wisdom. here are a few things i learned:
1) raging hormones account for behavioral problems
2) some rules were meant to be broken (i.e. #4)
3) calcium helps burn fat faster
4) vanilla coke is a good incentive to get people to do homework
so ya, i know i say how happy i'm going to be as soon as the program ends, but honestly...i'll be very happy! lol but it will be very bittersweet. i've made some new friendships and regained old ones. so all in all, this summer hasn't gone to waste. i've received an education...a unique one at that.
