Welcome to Camp Hope

Where you shower outside, sleep in converted classrooms, and share your home with 700-1200 of your closest friends.
I hate the rush for the best beds that always happens in a communal sleeping situation. Everyone races into the room, and for one reason or another, certain beds are the preferred places to see. And when the bed that you are looking for is the one you will have for the next 2 months, most people are looking for a corner, a wall, a bottom bunk, a way to have space you can claim as your own.
All this, the crash course in Camp Hope, after an exceedingly long day of travel. We flew out of Oakland this morning, the earliest flights were at about 6. Which means that we had to get to the airport by 4. So we had to meet the buses at 2:20 am. And so..why sleep? I slept on the bus, and then on the plane. It was enough to give me the energy i needed to sit in the airport for 3 hours, then sit in the van for over an hour. Now, we're finally here, i'm completely and devastatingly overwhelmed, and i'm just going to go to bed and hope everything looks better in the morning.
