Post ODS depression

My last week at Namanu was amazing. I met wonderful student leaders, bonded more with the staff than ever, and shed lots and lots of tears.
I met Panache, a male SL that I got pretty close to. It's unfathomable how close you can get to someone in four short days. I got to work with Fizzy (laughed with her for hours), Chinook (he always made me smile, especially on the bus ride back), Tumi (I wish I could work with kids the way she does), Bromine (he has that subtle humor), and Salamander (we always ended up in a conversation that I enjoyed each time). All of those SLs were awesome and I learned so much from each of them. The way they all are with the kids is inspiring. Then there's Chinchilla. That girl is crazy hilarious (an just plain crazy). She never failed to make me laugh even in mid-cry. Reindeer, what a sweet and funny girl. She has a soft voice but a sassy attitude. Koala, he actually kind of looks like a koala. he was kind and funny and even though we didn't talk much, I am so happy I was able to meet him. Frootbat, the youngest SL I've ever met. Although she was a young first timer, she taught me so much about bravery and connecting to the sixth graders. Opal, she is plain insane. She danced like no one was watching, she just didn't care what people thought, I was inspired. Baldr, we didn't talk much but I could tell the kids liked him. Sprucie, such sass, such coolness, so awesome. Spud, her humor was great, so is the way she gets the kids attention. Lilypad, she smiled all day, no matter what, she was genuinely happy. I love her spirit so much. Disney, he is just an overgrown kid. He made me wish I could go back in time and enjoy every moment the way he does now. Tofu, we also didn't talk much but his personality is amazing, I know for sure he is a great SL. Fox, this was my second week with him. I feel like we bonded more this week than we did before. It makes me happy I will get to see him at school. Daisy Bell, my second week with her. She was my cabin partner in the Fall and all I can say is that I love her like a sister. Sunshine, my cabin partner. The kids loved her. She taught me how to be funny and crazy in front of the kids and still have their respect, she is truly amazing.
I wish I could have spent more than one week with all of these people. I wish I could have bonded more with all of them. Most of all I wish I could return in the Fall and see how much each of them will grow like I know they will. I will miss them all. I am so thankful that they made my last week perfect.
