Today was such a fun day, a day filled with unexpected moments and moments of realization. The day started when we walked forever and a day up the stairs to wait for our bus, but due to a misunderstanding with the bus company, we ended up waiting a long hour. The buses were down the hill now, and after having walked up, it became another challenge for us to walk down.

The bus trip was pretty boring, but in no time, we arrived. Angela kept complaining about how bus seats need to be longer. We gathered into groups of ten, which became such a dilemma because everyone wanted to be with their friends. All our activities were some type of reflection on "the light" and ourselves. A lot of the questions got me thinking though. I started thinking about all the people around me, all the people who accepted me as a friend. Then, I doubted everything about me. I started questioning whether I was being true to myself or not. The "me" that people see isn't really the "me" that I am. Although they don't see me in another "light," I know I'm always gonna be that person that no one really knows. People actually had no idea that I felt some things until I said so, but I really have no one I know who can understand. I don't even understand myself.

After all the reflectionish activities, times started becoming fun. I realized that I hug and receive hugs in a day more than someone in a poor orphange in a year. I LOVE THE PEOPLE THAT SURROUND ME. They're all soOper special!! I lived the part when we sang "Kumbaya". It's such a fun song. Lunch was fun, long, and relaxing. Elizabeth was eating Christina's chips. She accidentally threw them in the trash can. What a funny person! She had t take them back out again. While she was holding them, I tried grabbing them, and it ripped. Christina forced me to hold them now.

We went out to the field in our groups and played this game in a circle where we had to be able to sit on each other without falling. Blondie sat on me, and she was pretty big. I tried to trade with Liz, but she was like, "Oh hell no!" Funny!

We prayed in the chapel, and our day was almost over. We sang the Kumbaya song again, and after that, the alma mater. This part of the day seemed fun, and when Kristine blew out the candle, we knew the day was over. I was now lookng forward to Christie's birthday at the mall. Before the mall, I didn't want to carry Christina's chips. I left them on the floor and let Sophia eat them. Christina jokingly got mad at me and Liz. We got the chips back for her though.

The bus trip going back was much more fun then our trip going to where we had just come. I had the most random and weird talks with Angela and Jessika. It was funny, especially the quotes of that day. I talked to Angela about relatives and "Whacko". Yes, I will go again to see the oreo chair and the picture of the two-butted cow.

We went to the mall and took pictures. Janelle, Mello, and my plan failed. TOO BAD! We ate and ate. I had forgotten all about school that day, but during our conversations at the table, I got worried about school again. My four dreams of the same person came up, and Ellen gave me an explanation that was very true. I wondered how I hadn't thought of that. Her words struck me. I was afraid of what this person would think of me. The best part of this time was when we bought Christie a build a bear for her birthday. It had red hott sexy underwear with purple sexy pajamas. This included matching shoes and accesories and glasses. We tried to make it as Christie as possible, although it wasn't exactly the best Christie imitaion. Christie does sound like the bear when she giggles. The man working there seemed to love his job. I got a ride home with Camille.
