Day 56: An Awesome Last Day


-SIGH- Today is the last day for Camp Chief Hector. The last session? I totally forgot what it was called, but this included everybody in one place instead of in family groups to different sessions. Because this camp was about diversity, we all had to make a scene with our family groups. We had to act it out and we would perform this twice. For example, if ours was about discrimination in race, we would make a situation where one is making a racist comment towards another and blah blah blah. The second time we act it out again, anyone can shout FREEZE on the parts that they could change. If an actor said a racist comment on the first act, on the second act someone in the audience can yell FREEZE on that same racist comment moment and tag that actor out then UNFREEZE and say something else instead of a racist comment, changing the whole situation around. Does that make sense? Anyway, I loved it. I got to make so much input in our group's scene which was about racism and also got to know Jen who taught us the Spoken Word session! She's amazing at it!

Before lunch, we all got into a circle. They called it the hugging circle. The first person to hug went to the left and hugged the person next to him/her then that person in turn goes left and hug the person next to him/her. This went on until everybody hugged everyone. I got pretty excited, this meant I get to hug him! WOOOHOO! But so much people had come my way and hugged them that by the time it was my turn to turn left (he was just a few individuals away) I got nervous and said "Hey Ukrainian accented guy"! OH GOSH, I slapped my self once again with my imaginary hand and told myself whether I learned anything during the weekend or not. Omgoodness. -sigh- I think he knew I had a crush on him. After a friend of my friends asked him his name (to find out if he was my cc)he started looking in my direction during our sessions. *BLUSH* And when it was my turn to go left to hug? I looked at him and he was smiling looking back at me. Then I was like OMG I GETS TO HUGS HIM! LOL. Okay enough about that.

This weekend? I LOVED IT. I wish it was a one week camp instead! We are all planning to come back next year, but I'm not sure if that would be possible since this is for high school students.. maybe there are exceptions! Ahah.
