Captain's Log - 10:23 am Tuesday June 8th, 2010 - Sad farewell ahead

Well, the last day has arrived and it is bittersweet in the fact that it was an amazing trip, but now I have to say goodbye to all of my friends until the next Field Trip. I'll miss everyone so much. I spoke with Michelle last night briefly and she told me to find her today to discuss writing and publishing, I'm so excited. I think her insights will be very helpful if I decide to publish. I'm going to try to steal 5 minutes with Ryan if I can too. I really want to know what to expect of the whole process and the more people's experiences that I gather, the better prepared I will be.
I will definitely make Field Trip 9, even if I have to ride a bus for 24 hours. I cannot pass up an opportunity to see all of my friends again. I came here scared and shy and I feel like a changed person. These people opened themselves up to me in friendship and in turn, they opened up the part of me that always fears new people. For this alone, I owe them much more then they will ever know.
I'll be leaving here a changed person, how changed I'm not totally sure. I know already that my mind is so much more open. My life and the way I perceive things will be very different. I can't wait to delve into all the interesting ideas I learned about here.
Time for breakfast and the Goodbye Party...
