The Lousy Escape
On the friday night out, my last night out, I made a series of mistakes that led to my earlier discharge from Echo Lake.
My first mistake was to go to the bus pick-up spot. My second mitake was talking to the LIT girls. My third was actually getting on the bus instead of staying on the grounds to make some more preperations and check my mail. My fourth was going with the LITs when we got to Lake George. My fifth mistake was ignoring the signs when things started to go wrong. My sixth mistake was forgetting the differences in cultures. And my seventh and last mistake was not bailing out when I should have.
The resulting effects was that Theo came to talk to me on saturday morning. A few minutes later I was talking to Tony and by 1pm I was leaving camp.
As I was walking around, putting my last things in order, I was so sad I couldn`t stop crying and I was so angry I literally punched every tree.
Although I made a mistake and the camp`s rules demanded I pay for it, every person I talked to on the way, including the kids, including the harder kids, including Tony, Laurie and Theo looked as if this should not be happening and the punishment was being carried out reluctently.
Right now, I just hope, that even if Echo Lake will not have me back, CCS will not be effected by this.

וואו תנחומי, לא אמרת שהיציאות מהמחנה הן לא חוקיות שם.
זה ישפיע על המשך השהות שלך בארה”ב?
בכל מקרה שולח לך “חיבוק ווירטואלי” מפה, תרגיש טוב.
Thanks. I didn’t say leaving the camp is illegal? When did I say that.
I hope it won’t affect my stay but who knows.
Thanks again. And you, get better soon.
ב”לא חוקית” התכוונתי בחוקים של המחנה
ותודה
הי ילדי!
עכשיו הבנתי למה הגעת לרותי בשבת ולא בראשון אני מקווה שלפחות את הכסף על החודשיים קיבלת ויש לך עם מה לטייל ואתה לא חייב לחזור מיד, אבא דיבר עם עודד היום והוא ינסה לסדר לך רשיון עבודה הוא אומר שמי שהיה במחנה קייץ אין לו בעיה בנושא.
תשתדל לא לעשות שטויות חבל על כל הזמן שהשקעת במחנה.
בכל מקרה אנחנו מחזקים אותך תתגבר ותמשיך הלאה מה שהיה היה אי אפשר להחזיר את הגלגל אחורה חיבוק ונשיקה ממני
את הכסף קיבלתי לפני שבוע. את זה הם לא יכולים לקחת ממני.
חוץ מזה, טעויות קיימות כדי שנלמד מהם ואתם יודעים שאני משתדל שהטעויות אצלי יחזרו רק פעם אחת.
מה השם של עודד בסקייפ? יהיה נחמד לדבר גם איתו.
Hey Eran,
How is everything going? I was hoping to see you this past weekend at camp, but that didn’t work out. I am really sorry to hear about the so called “lousy escape” and hopefully you will get over it. Did the LIT girls pressure you into following them, just like they pressure you into giving them rides, because talking to them was deffinately a huge second mistake. So where are you living now? I guess that’s it for now. We will stay in touch.
Much love from your biggest fan,
Will Pearl
In skype I’m Guss77. catch me when you are online.
Regarding VISA – talk to me before you do anything. Your visa is better then B type (which is what I have), but don’t do anything stupid.
What is a B type? And how can I get a better one? A work visa?
Sorry to let you down, Will. My mistake after all. They didn’t pressure me into following but probably into other things that have no room, even on a blog.
I have your e-mail address and you have mine. I’ll send out a massive e-mail to everyone as soon as I find the time to put everyone’s addresses in.
Hey becca wasssup?! Also wat up Eran. Don’t worry you didn’t let me down. I just wanted to thank you for a great summer and for sharing with us both your great sense of humor and your genuine personality. However, those golf rides of yours were just a whole different level of entertainment. Those were some of the greatest and funniest nights of Scott, Todd, Ali and my live’s (the golf cart crew). You will always be remembered as a hero and a great friend of all the LIT’s. You really gave us “our satisfaction.”
Much love from your biggest fan,
Will Pearl
P.S. The ballers send their thug love and warm regards.
