oh my...

It has been a crazy few weeks! I cannot believe the first nine weeks of school has come and gone. Life has been busy, filled with trying to be the best teacher possible and trying to maintain some form of a social life at the same time. At the end of September, I had the opportunity to visit some old friends in Charleston. It was a great weekend to rest, relax, laugh, and realize just how fast time passes! I do miss living in a place that has that distinctive, soul-healing scent of salty air and pluff mud. Too bad Greenville is not a coastal city!

After my restful weekend, I packed not quite enough warm clothes, my sleeping bag, and enough patience I could possibly muster and headed off to Camp Greenville with 96 high school freshmen. Yes, it is quite possible that I have lost my ever loving mind. Yes again, it was actually somewhat fun despite the lack of sleep and whiny students. I loved watching them in their small groups working together, building friendships, and making memories. Here are a few pictures.
