Wow. What an amazing week this has been. I was so nervous to Begin this week but as I'm sitting on the plane writing this I'm feeling so sad. I'm not good with words so I have no idea how much sense this thing is gonna make.
I love you guys. So much. I mean, I had nice conversations with you guys on Facebook and stuff before met you guys but wow. I walked into the bell center Monday and I was overwhelmed by the mount of familiar faces. I had no idea what to do. Thankfully, some of you guys noticed my awkwardness and introduced yourselves and t just kinda went from there.
Sitting through the sessions was difficult, but not unbearable. I don't like writing. I couldn't care less about how to edit a story or how to create a world. But it was still amazing. I loved sitting and talking with so many of you. I'm sorry I didn't get to hang out with everyone as much as I wanted to.
I understand it all now. I understand why the sw is held in such high regard. Wait. That's an understatement. This was without a doubt one of the greatest weeks I've ever had. I miss you all so much.
Thanks to everyone in my critique group for putting up with me,I know I didn't have anything to bring and my feedback was basically me just agreeing with others and nothing grammatical errors.
You guys are different. I've never been in any group like it. And it isn't because you're homeschoolers. (Most of you). You're oyaners. You make me feel so great. I talked with some of you for hours, some for ten minutes. I loved all of it.
The first day? The speaker talked about describing OYAN. Everyone laughed. It's true. How can you describe us? I don't know.
Yes, all of us argue over the internet. It happens. But I just...feel like my thoughts on all that changed when I went to the SW. I mean...I had never met any of you in real life...Just...I don't know. I love all of you (I've said this so much) and even though we have our differences, we still love each other and we can do great things.
No, this is not a stereotypical "hurr durr we r disgrr but we cn du gr8 things cuz god"
It isn't. It's truly how I feel. I've met so many of you know. I believe that's something I can say with truth now because IRL is so much different than houston.
I'm sitting in my room now wondering how to explain to my parents what I did this week. No one but you guys understand how awesome this week was. How do I explain to people that I went to a week long conference when I hate writing? How do I tell people the amazing things I talked about and did this week? You guys understand. Hopefully I can come up with some explanation to my parents about why this week was so freaking awesome.
Last night when we all prayed over Mr. S was unreal. It was awesome. I believe that God has done great things through us. I don't think he's quite done yet. I love all of you more than I can ever hope to express properly individually or in my limited skills writing. You guys mean so much to me and attending was the best thing I've ever done. I have so much to say that'll probably come out over the next few weeks. Oyan forever.
