Well when i woke up tuesday i was soo pumped cause i knew that at 3:30 i would be on a bus to go to a hotel with a bunch of people from school! So i was bored as usual on spare, then in photography i had a supply teacher, he was weird would not stop talking about the presidential election......i really hate him for that. then we had lunch and i went to english where we talked alot about mental ilness man i am gunna put our note that we took down in here it was....crazy (pay no attention to my pun) then to horticulture where we were assigned a project and if we "won" out teacher would pay for two trips to our schools restaurant and 50 bonus marks to do with what we please.
so im really excited cause we r gunna go on our retreat now. We get on the bus and go to the hotel we get r stuff un packe and meet downstairs they tell us that we have to have an opening prayer then its dinner time and we eat, the food was ok a little dry but still pretty good. after dinner we sit and talk about how our faith has changed since gr. 9 and some people who i had never really thought had faith were all saying how much it has grown and stuff, then we watched a movie and wrote in our "spiritual journals" then it is now 11:30 and they give us all a piece of full scap paper and we write a letter to the gr.9's who will be going on a retreat too (this is next years gr.9's) mine went somthing like this
Dear gr.9
