the previous wkend we had a women's retreat on sat morning till sunday noon it was fun, we were about 12 ppl our age & most of the others were about triple our age, & altho it was mostly prayers & talks we managed to have a blast together, we prepared a sketch making fun of the women: the way they treat us, the way they pray & dance... we then presented it 2 them during the entertainment night, gratefully they took it lightly & laughed about it... THe food there was awful & i mn awful, we couldn't eat it so we lived mainly on hot drinks & the refreshments we had brought. At breakfast on sunday (it was cheese & labnh & jam...) we ate all the food on our table & on the three tables around us!!!!anyway these days they're doing a whole program to bring life back 2 Downtown with numerous free activities(ATV, concerts, Canoekayake, expos, matches....)but unfortunately we hv school !!!! we were supposed 2 hv a strike/holiday on wed for el "wehde el watanieh" coz it is the date of the beginning of the civil war but nooooooo we hv 2 go 2 school & there sm r saying, we're supposed 2 do smthing patriotic (probably sing the national anthem... anyway g2g, i really nd 2 sleep :o z z z
