ocular rewritten

The following notes aren’t in order of any hierarchy(aside from the hosts and campers) so don’t take it that way. I was writing all these standing up while my brother was covering me in the kitchen—a true soldier. Anyways, this has been an amazing session. Ciao, Marchers of ‘24!

Dear Hosts,
Thank you for leading such an amazing session! This was my first time and I want to try out for July. I’m picky with the communities I hang out in, so that means a lot. Thank you for being understand, especially with the extensions(I only sent one lol) and whatnot. A mighty cheer to you all, and I wish you all the best.

Dear SWC Campers,
SWC! Not much to say, but thanks for being an awesome environment and, well, the warm hug that everyone needs sometimes. You guys are like an extended family, or second, haha. Keep scratching and keep writing! Wandahoi~!

Dear Yume,
Did you force me into this? Yes. Did I hesitate and literally stall before signing up? Yes. Did I panic when I realized I didn’t know anything about anyone and thing? Also yes! But after a full month going by, I can honestly say that this has been a really fun, stressful, heartwarming, and brain-draining experience. I’d love to be here again. Thank you for introducing me to this and for being an awesome leader. Epistolary didn’t win, but that’s okay . I’m happy. Thank you so much, Yume, and wandahoi~!

Dear LiLi,
We didn’t talk a lot, but you were really fun and energetic, and I loved your energy. Why am I speaking in past-tense? Love your energy. There we go. Thank you for being a good friend and I hope we can hang out outside of SWC . Don’t mention the group photo—it’ll be out in April, I promise— Thank you, LiLi .

Dear Vicky,
Ahhh, the very 30th of March was when we started talking, I think… You poured brain juice into my head for me to survive and I thank you sincerely for that. I will forever chop all your writer’s blocks too—it’s mutual ^^. Let’s chat some more, eh? And maybe write a story together. What do you think?

Dear Poetry,
How in the world are you guys so nice? Literally every single one of you guys are so nice, gregarious, and patient it’s almost hilarious. But I love talking to each and every single one of you guys and I wanna thank you all for being so friendly and kind. Congrats on ranking at one of the top spots! (At least, before the final count xD). Cheers, Poetry, from your cabin-sibling Blau.

Dear Crim,
Honestly, we didn’t chat a lot. In fact, I think I only knew you existed(I’m pretty sure it’s mutual, haha) when you replied to my comment about the SATs. Thank you for guiding me to The Black Book and reassuring me on my grades . I know it isn’t SWC-related, but I appreciate you nonetheless. Thanks again!

Dear Summer,
The Lord of The Rings bound us like the One Ring would’ve bound the other lesser rings. Okay, maybe that’s just me trying to get an LOTR joke in here, but you get it…right? Thank you for being, like Poetry lol, so kind and friendly. Honestly, you’re kinda like a big sis I wanna get to know more. Pretty simple message, I know, but understand that it means a lot, haha. Thank you, Summer.

Dear Tilly,
We didn’t talk a lot, but that’s okay! Thank you for being my weekly partner (technically my weekly was critiqued by Sienna ^^) and thanks for being on top of things. You’re a great person and I love the deep family bonds you have running in the fibers of your account(teehee). Thanks .

Dear Cecilia,
We also didn't talk a lot, but we actually had a formal introduction, haha, and that kinda stuck with me. Thank you for being a good friend, and though we didn't chat past intros, names, and a little besides, you're still a really cool person. You're great. Scratch on, and thank you for being a friend to me .

Dear Epistolarians,
I can't believe I forgot to add this earlier- Forgive me, Epistolarians. We've been through cabin wars, ups and downs, and though I probably never talked to half of you, our silent camaraderie is still priceless. Thank you all for being who you are and making Epistolary what is. You all are special and have a different place in my heart; thank you again. And maybe not for the win anymore, which is okay, but Epistolary for the wine™!

And if you're not on here, don't feel bad . I had to speedrun this too- Okay, now it sounds cheap. Well, everything I said I truly mean it. Thank you all.
