Today was our retreat (aka no classes/dress-out day/get off campus day). Not everyone went but most of them did.
Anyhow, we went to this Marianist Retreat place (in Eureka, MO). It was so peaceful there (and beatiful)! So, we had a small prayer in the chapel then broke up into 2 groups. The first group stayed in the chapel (I was in the first group). We did an activity about our personalities and that we're all unique and beautiful in our own ways. That was pretty fun, we made a poster about an imaginary trip and all that. Then we had a 10 minute break so we all went downstairs and ate a cookie, some had some bread, and some lemonaide.
Then we switched groups so then we went in the conference room place. We made dream catchers :) Mine looks amazing! Me describing it would be too boring to read though. It's colorful though :) Then we did this "Risk" thing where we had 8 people in a circle and one person gets into the middle. The people on the outside say "fall" and the person in the middle falls and we pass that person around (the person's feet stay planted). Of course everyone in the circle is near the person in the middle to catch them.
Then we ate lunch. I played some ping pong with Jenn, Mel, Emily, and a few other people. Ripped my pants on the corner of the ping pong table *grr* Went back and everyone sat in the chapel. Whoever had the ball was able to talk about what the topic that was stated was about. Example of some of the topics: "What advice would you give young girls about boys?", "Why do girls date guys?", "When you're a parent, what would you change from how your parents are?", "What would you ask God or tell Him if saw him now?", and "What do we like most about ourselves?" Man us girls really dug into all the boys *evil grin* 'Twas great!
Then we had a small prayer service and left. I could've gone into more detail about everything but, eh, naw. It was just really relaxing and peaceful there.
Got all the info and packet stuff for Jesus class (one of the religion classes that we have to take).
And as you all are dying to know (some might not be. hah), things with Eric are good. No, we're not dating yet. Yes, he has called me every night after 9 (free minutes on the cellphone). Yes, my mom has asked about him. Yes, I did tell her all about him.
I'm 98% positive he's going to go see our play next weekend :) Play practice ALL WEEK!
Happy Birthday Mrs. D!
Got an 84% on my biology test. I should've done better. It's just so much stuff to remember and I get confused with all the stuff in the cells.
