Settling into the real world again

rosa_cottonTo quote Samwise Gamgee: "Well, I'm back." I finished up at camp this past Friday afternoon. The whole week the temperature had been in the 70s with some humidity Sunday through Tuesday. The rest of the week was really cool with a lot of rain that made the creek rise for the second -- or was it the third, forth? -- time this summer; it came to about a foot from overflowing its banks.
The final week was a missions conference of over one hundred people. We girls had to move out of our nice air conditioned/heated lodge to one of the regular cabins at main camp because missionaries stay at the lodge during the last week. Besides doing housekeeping, I also worked in the kitchen for at least one meal each day. Thursday night for about six hours until 12:15 a.m., I did camp laundry. It wasn't too bad because I had a book. But I kept waking up during the night for some reason, and it was freezing that night, and a truck came to make a delivery at 4:20 in the morning.
I'm partly glad camp is done for the summer. Twelve weeks is a long time and it was a very eventful summer. On the other hand I wish it wasn't over. I love that place and the staff; I hated having to say good-bye to everyone. I wonder if they will be back next summer, if I will be back.
This week I'm working on catching up on sleep and mainly just relaxing. I've been able to watch the whole second season of The Cosby Show my brother got during the summer. It is such great fun.
I'm also finally have a chance to sit down and make some plans for the future regarding college and other things. Hopefully I'll work this year and go next year.
*sigh* I am in a Sam/Rosie mood. I need some nice, fluffy fanfiction of the cute hobbit couple. I've been searching the Net for some real good avatars of them, but am finding nothing. All I'm getting is ones of them individually. I want ones that have them together -- besides their wedding; like when they say goodnight outside the Green Dragon. *sniff* I need some pretty Sam/Rosie icons!
Don't worry, I'll be okay. I'm just adjusting to the real world again.

I could make some Sam/Rosie icons if you like. Next time I make icons, I'll definitely make sure to make some good fluffy S/R icons! ♥
