18.Dealing With Sleep-Away Camp I have never been away from home,at least not for more than three days,much less two whole weeks.When I got the chance to go to Journalism Camp,I was afraid.Of the 19 other students there,I knew no one. What if I had to go home during camp time because I wouldn't be able to get used to the new situation?What if my roommate and I don't get along?How do I even use a washing machine? Well,after the first night,nearly all if my problems were solved.The students were amazing,and my roommate was perfect.She knew how to do crazy braids (辮子)with my long hair and she loved to listen to me talk loudly!I couldn't have asked for more. The two weeks nearly flew by,and I learned to take responsibility for myself:washing clothes,cleaning and other things like that. However,in the process I didn't realize how tied I had become to the usual order of waking up early,running to get to the newsroom in time,and coming back to a large room full of friends who shared similar feelings as I did. On the last day,I couldn't get myself to turn in my room keys.It couldn't be over,I become emotionally tied really easily,so it was hard for me to pull away.I couldn't push away my tears.Leaving camp just left me empty. I wasn't having the "blues",but I felt really sad about leaving.Returning home,I was in the state of disappointment for a few days.I kept to myself,sleeping through most of the day,so I wouldn't have time to look back. I needed to get used to life at home again.This was my challenge.I was lucky to have the two-week experience,but I had to accept that not all things last forever. I could still keep in touch with my new friends while continuing on with the rest of my summer.I know I will go through the same experience when I leave high school after senior year.High school life will never return after graduation,but I can still keep in touch with my friends and look forward to other experiences I will have.
