Farnsworth Forever & Nervousness

H'okay so I was on Facebook and I saw this sweet note quoting something from Willow and I had to re-post it up somewhere:


"In the beginning there was a mountain and because there was a mountain, there was a valley biting deep and rooting its remote heaven into the earth's core. and between the mountain and the valley there was a lake. cradled depth. window to the earth and mirror to the white majesty above. and because there was the mountain and the valley and the lake, there was everything that ever was upon the earth and beneath the sky.

and in that valley by the lake was a girl's summer camp where the campfires burn and stories are learned. and in those stories memories and traditions are created. and that is where you will find the true meaning of farnsworth." - Willow

Currently I am still quite campsick, but it is going away faster than normal because of Germany. Basically it's either Camp or Germany that's on my mind nowadays. AFS still hasn't told me whether I'm going to the language camp or not, and I would really like to know! Hopefully I'll learn a bit more German before I go, just in case they don't put me in the language camp (which hopefully they won't do!). 

Tomorrow I leave for a canoe trip with my friend Katie (aka Loki, Rhett) for a few days, then on Friday I leave for a hiking trip for a few days. Tonight there was a little going away party for me, which was nice. I leave two weeks from Tuesday! So exciting! But I'm finally starting to get a bit nervous! It's mostly because I don't really know much of any German at all. Oh well, I'll just have to make do.

Ta Ta For Now,
Em

La CanciĆ³n: Hoedown Throwdown by Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana (I can't believe I'm actually putting this on here, but it's attached to sooo many memories! Even though I HATE Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus and always will.) Because it's been stuck in my head all week, reminds me of camp, and Elyse and I danced it quite a few times tonight.
