A girl in Vermont

It's been a while...Blaise and I are in Vermont, and I'm trying to get accustomed to this new life of leisure. It has been quite a transition: from being busy all the time, to not being busy at all; from working hard physically, to not getting a lot of exercise; from having this huge commitment/presence/meaning in my life that is quite suddenly gone, and after the initial joy of leaving that part of my life behind, I'm feeling its loss. Not to say I regret my decision--I have no regrets, but I miss being involved in something I care a lot about. And I miss Misty. I try to get involved in the camp life as much as I feel comfortable doing, but thus far, I feel pretty nervous around the kids. They are pretty foreign to me, and since I have an undefined role at camp, it makes it difficult to start our relationship somewhere. I think they see me as that random girl that is sometimes around. And yet, I must remember, it is only the fourth day, but one day feels like a week here.

But Vermont is beautiful, and I love working on my vet school applications. I never would have guessed I would enjoy studying for the GREs; I think the academic in me is resurfacing.

Have also been pouring through books, so I welcome any reading suggestions...I love everything.

Will try and post some pictures soon, Mom :)
