my summer plans

I figure now is as good of a time as any to tell all of you that I will not be at camp this summer. This is after much thought and I am sure I'll regret it, but my reasoning goes like this: if I was at camp, I'd have regrets about not doing other things and I'd hate to be in the situation of being at Mount Hermon as a counselor and having any regrets about it. Instead this summer I'll be playing music with possibly 4 bands including trying to get a solo ep out. I'll be working at Peet's coffee still and hopefully be able to transfer to one in the city when I move in July or August. I also applied for this 2 week trip to New York where 6 Americans, Germans, Moroccans, and Tunisians meet up and discuss world issues and things of that ilk. I'm really hoping I get accepted, I find out if I get an interview on the 28th. I really want to come down and visit like last year, even though my bro won't be there, so I hope someone is willing to lend a floor every now and then. I really was excited about being there this summer, I just think the opportunites before me are too perfect to pass up and I also have this debt left from England that Mount Hermon won't kill as easily as Peet's. cheers,
