Senior Retreat at Big Bear

Feb 02, 2008 10:20




Ok so senior retreat was unforgettable. Big Bear was so breathtakingly beautiful. There was snow everywhere. The theme was "Walking In The Light". I got so much closer to my best friends, [[ tricia, kim, erin, kat, abi, ley, estelle, nicole, emily ]] and it made me realize a few things. I have the most amazing friends who took care of me at 2 in the morning when i was sick. I need to stop taking everything for granted. I need to let go of grudges and forgiving people isn't the hard part, its letting go. We had soo much fun playing in the snow. We built a snow couple, a snow volcano, played hide and seek in the snow, had a huuge snowball fight and wrote in the snow. Me and trisha looked for snow squirrels and porcupines but we didn't see any. There was tons of hot chocolate, intense Uno games, junk food, late nights, egyptian corkscrew and so much more. Evan called and left me the sweetest messages, it sucked that i had to leave my phone off for most of the day and keep it upstairs in my bag. Bunk beds were so fun, we made a fort and jumped from one to another. Me and Erin had a blast being top bunkmates. The NDA candle lighting // memory telling was intense. A lot of us were crying. But some of them were really funny. I really love my class. the bus ride to Big Bear was soo much fun. We watched She's The Man and laughed super hard nonstop. The bus ride back wasn't as pleasant. We had a different bus driver that didn't let anyone use the bathroom while the bus was moving. He drove crazy fast down the mountain and got a lot of the girls sick. We had to pull over so that girls could throw up or use the bathroom && we watched Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants and it kept skipping.

Our class realized there are a little less that 4 months left until graduation. 65 school days, 20 block II days, 4 buck a stuffs and i plan on making every single one of those days count.
