Wow! It was really amazing. Even though in the beginning i wanted to shoot myself and then go home. I think the ultimate frisbee is really what did the trick! I met such amazing people this weekend and rekindled friendships with others. I never realized how much i love the people that i went away with this weekend (jill you dont count cause i always knew how much i loved you! i love you like a fat kid love cake!) I was so upset that my brother wasnt there, but him not being there just made our relationship stronger, cause i realized how much i wanted him to be there and how much i love him.

I cant believe this is my last year. Joe, Robyn and Jeanne mean so much to me, they are such great people, i dont think they know how much i love them and how much they mean to me. And i was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy that Mike came!! I really love him so much!

Friday:

We left to go to the Don Bosco retreat center. The whole way there i missed lisa alot because i just kept thinking about the little children and the "damn big mary". Got there and i was cranky all of Friday night. But i met some new people like Kim, Kenny, Phil, Dom, and Juan!

Saturday:
"Ya gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up in the MORNING!"
That is what i heard at 7:30AM. Jimmy screams that at the top of his lungs and scares the shit out of me. Crazy Juggler.
Frank Stark and Hot Dogs (yea Nathan) did an awesome dance to "come on Eileen"...those are some crazy kids. They made Jimmy join in and he danced with the lunch lady.
We got to play with stickers! "I gave you guys stickers because stickers are fun...and their colorful!" - Kenny
Robyn did a talk and had quotes from Martin LK JR! and Ghandi! LMAO!
I played some hardcore Ultimate Frisbee and learned that if you get too close to Kenny and he has the frisbee he WILL hit you with it! Ouch.
The senior mass was sooooo emtionally draining! I got to bless people!! That was awesome.

Sunday:
I woke up all the girls before Jimmy could wake us up!
Breakfast!!! It was actually decent today...
Before going to lunch we noticed there was an "asian invasion". about 300 asian people gathered...and they were doing kariokee (sp?) but it was in korean! amazing. They tried to takeover our staff room but Kim Phan is AWESOME and she yelled at them. Then we did the letters and that was sad...yet happie.
<3 Mike is awesome at cracking my back!
We packed and wanted Jimmy to juggle for the asians, but he was being tired and shy.
Bus ride home was tons of fun. We did the "baby shark" song in a form I've never heard. We sang and i found my favorite spot on Erics head. This kid has AMAZING hair. I love Eric...and his hair! :)

Jill got me mass cards with Vomit and Stick Stickly's names on them!! She is one crazy girl!! <3 Jill <3

I cannot explain to anyone what an amazing thing it is to be part of a group like this. Where everyone accepts you for who you are. The people that lead this group are some of the most inspirational and spiritual people, who have given me so much guidance over the past 4 years. i will truely miss not seeing them on a weekly basis!
