Not much happening here today. The group left this morning after a good breakfast and a good-byes at the cabin. It was fun to see how strangers come together in only a few days to become very fond of one another. I've learned about all this group dynamic stuff in theory at school, which makes it fun to see it in action as groups come together.
Spent the rest of the day kickin' around Wintergreen. Went on a hike and did some Ecology homework on the trail which was a nice way spend the afternoon. Back in my room now to finish some more. Back at it tomorrow with a new group and more skiing and dogsledding.
There's so much I think about while away. It really is amazing how my thoughts change depending on location. Back home in the cities, it's go go go all the time. Even now working part time and school full-time. Go here, then there, then drive way the hell over there for this and that. Life is simpler here. Sure you still have to work and go places and get things done. It just seems to be at a simpler level. Maybe all the complications haven't sprawled this far north yet, or maybe it's the influence of the surroundings. Whatever it is, it feels nice. This isn't to say I don't like it back home, it's just nice to be fortunate enough to get away and do things like this.
Perhaps it's not that complications haven't found their way to the North Woods, but rather the folks that choose to live there, also choose not to get too mucked up with it all.
