Friday night. Departure from Camp Bob. 15 hours away. Totally tired. This year's been different. Lots of trading. Lots of videotaping. Lots of feedback. Pretty awesome. Feel like I've really strengthened some of my relationships with people. Others, unfortunately, were a little ignored. I just don't have the energy to sit up and stay up with people past 10/11 at night. I love the later practices, and practicing so many times a day. It's so much easier to fix things and do what needs to be done.
The weather wasn't fantastic this year. But the mood was tremendously more optimistic and amicable. The food has been horrible as usual. And the n-men's "initiation" had turned only into a sideshow to the now-annual novice women's non-initiation crew orientation talent show. Took out a coxswain quad earlier in the week. And today, we took out a coxswain coxed four, with (from bow to stern) Emcox, Helena, Raskob, and I, and Gregor coxing. Quite entertaining, but somewhat painful at times. I don't know why my knee's been acting up so. Tomorrow, 7am wakeup, last practice here in S.C., then the long drive back home. No Sonic nighttime ice-cream social bonding. No Aiken regatta to whomp ass at. But an entire week back in Baltimore to prepare for next weekend for a double regatta weekend. Casperson Cup back home in Baltimore for once, and then Occoquan Sprints immediately following, which has always been unsuccessful in years past.
I've done none of my work this break. Should do some outlining for Inorganic, Iodine lab writeup for Pchem Lab, some reading for Ptheory, and a practice Kaplan full-length on Sunday. Saturday night will be tough. But at some point.. I'll manage.. as I usually do.
Good night. 'Til we meet again, back home in MD, back where the food is halfway decent and cooked mostly under my hands.
