Quote: "If someone is bitchy, umm, that word (hehehe) to you, turn your other cheek (Matthew 5:39) and pray for him or her"- Martin Ford Jr. Hi, I'm back! The retreat was okay. Really. It was a bit better than last year, I guess. We stayed in a new retreat house and it was like a hotel cause rooms were assigned to us by pairs and we had our own bathroom and everything. Cool! I thought we would get to choose our own partners but noooooo. We were assigned partners and mine was this really snobby popular bitch. Or so I thought. Anyway, she turned out to be really nice. We were up talking until like one in the morning, about stuff in general. Everyone says I lost weight, good and bad since my waistline is still the same. Anyway... The lecture part was okay. I liked the priest--he said he wouldn't mind if we fell asleep during the lecture part. He believed that God might be trying to communicate with us in our dreams, that's why we feel sleepy. I fell asleep twice and I could pick up bits and pieces of the lecture since I wasn't totally asleep, but I couldn't feel God. I wonder why. And we also had confession. I had a really hard time with that. I mean, I couldn't tell which one is a sin and which one was not. For example, telling a person that you hate him/her. It's a sin because you offended him/her and it's not a sin because you were being honest. So what is it, really? Oh, and the food was great. I mean, I thought it would suck because Stephen told me to watch out for it. But actually, I feel like throwing up already cause I ate sooooo much. Thanks Martin for your letter. It was very, very....Martin. Read his letter here. At least you know what you're talking about. I hate it when people lecture me and in the end, I realize they don't have a clue on what they're talking about. Do I have any enemies? I hope not, cause I forgot to pray for them. So it's four in the afternoon but I feel like going to bed already. I hope classes gets cancelled tomorrow. I mean what's the use, more than half of the class isn't going to school tomorrow and we're doing nothing but rehearsals for the cheerleading crap. I hope my mom lets me skip it. Pray for me!
