For me, it's just a really strong feeling, mixed with flashing images of the place rolling thru my head... it's really nostalgic, and the thought that I might not be able to go this summer depresses me greatly... it's really sad. But hopefully I will be able to go... I just need to raise some money and stuff...
The less time spent in Orion Bay, the better.

Oh, how terrible space camp withdrawal is...
I am in the process of packing things up at home to move into my own place. When I come across anything from camp - flight suits, name tags, photographs, scrapbooks, clothing, glow-in-the-dark feet, postcards, etc. I get wistful about camp.
For some time I wondered why I was investing all my savings into a house when it could fund about 10 trips to Space Camp. Then I realised that moving out is bound to happen, and it's better to have a sizeable down payment that try to buy a house with only a handful of change in the bank.
Drats... so when my house is all paid off, my first thought will be to return to the wonderful US Space Camp. Give me another 15 years or so...

I just watched Apollo 13, and it was a huge trigger for Space Camp withdrawl... I seriously don't think I'll make it 2 more weeks... I have to go! Perhaps a roadtrip... haha.
This stuff is pretty strong, though... it's becoming hard already to accept this next session as my last... I just might have to sign up for Christmas camp before it's too late... but my family might not be too happy with that, seeing as it'll also be my first college Christmas break...
I'm seriously ready for a huge photography session photographing every single memorable object on the entire facility, though... it shall be awesome.
If only I had my Time For Courage DVD! I gave it to a guy who said he could rip it to a divx file, and he still hasn't done it! I really need to give that guy a call tomorrow.

Hmm... See the tether might look like it was fun to sit in for extended periods of time but if you're out there long enough you lose the blood flow to your legs... Its really no picinic for your chest and shoulders either. Actually its just plain uncomfortable...
