Karan's Feelings

Hi everyone,

Last night was a pretty emotional one. We watched Mao's last dance and I have to say I did get watery eyes. Some of us did ease the mood later with stand up comedy on the projector in the Rec. hall.

So, after all the laughs, at about 1 AM, my mind pulled itself out of sleep and I was wide awake and for some reason, was very Very sad. I was sad because I had met such a nice group of young adults. Ha. Got Ya.

I have never been in such wonderful company. Everyone here is just so like minded but different at the same time. Its like the best have been chosen and put together. The friends that I have made in just the last 3 days and the depth of these relationships have developed astranomcally.As time passes I am wishing it slows down.

The reason I am sad is because I'm halfway into the week and time is flying too quick. I would love to live in RYLA land for eternity but alas our real world beckons.Back to work for some of us, uni for others. I am sure that some of the friendships developed at RYLA would last a lifettime. Facebook, email and phone contacts are being swapped and I'm going to make that I get them all.

A message for all of you out ther reading this in 2011, If you are being given an opportunity to attend, go for it with all you have. You will learn so much here in a week. You may be familiar with some of them but today I got the opportunity to go surf. It wasnt the confidence in the instructors that finally help me overcome my phobia of being in waves. It was the cheering and support, not just mental but physical as well (thanks for all th pushes to catch the waves guys)

Anyway, Ive still got a lot more on my mind that I would like to share here but the dinner call was just made so I've got head.

Catch up with another post soon.

PS I didnt read through this for errors yet. Will come back and fix after dinner
