Retreat

Right now I am exhausted. I've been at a retreat all weekend and now I feel like I could sleep all day if I had time(which I don't). Well we were supposed to go to Pedegene Mountain(sorry I have no idea how to spell it...oh well.) but It poured down raining and we had to stay at the teen center the whole time. And of course it wasn't the same as if we were actually somewhere serene and peaceful but It was ok. We had to design all the lessons ourselves. Complete with songs, scripture, theme, everything. And it was a great bonding time for the girls especially. Yes we had our fun...some I'm not going to repeat. Inside Jokes, the whole works. We had to sleep in separate rooms than the boys(of course) and we decided we were going to sing. Well we finished our second song and one of the girls had been halfway asleep and all of a sudden we hear"Guys, God is asleep, you should too"...We about fell on the floor laughing. It was hilarious. But It was a good learning experience...Lets jut hope out next retreat doesn't get cancelled and messed up.

Well, LTC (Leadership Training for Christ) is officially over for the year. Next year our theme is "Unstoppable" from Acts. I am very excited about this one. I already read all of Acts and have many ideas for art and I have a poem for the Christian poetry category. Here's the poem:


UNSTOPPABLE
Unstoppable, is the grace of God.
The strength in his word will never fade.
Unstoppable, he knows no bounds;
consuming every bit of my pain.
And Oh how unstoppable I can be
when his grace flows freely through me.
The winds will try to grab me,
and death will pull me down,
But his arms will lift me up,
placing my feet firmly on
solid ground.

Hectic Week

Hello, so I thought I'd write since I haven't in a while. This week has been kind of hectic with about 4 competitions coming up. I've been practicing like crazy for solo and ensemble(clarinet) which is about a week away, then I have BMW contest for art this week which I had to make sure my work was all ready to go. THEN right after they get back I have to go to State competition and I still need to finish another piece by the 13th. The one I'm working on right now is of a friend, and I think its going to turn out really cool. She's jumping(or soaring rather) in the air and I'm probably going to replace the background with some vine type flowers blowing in the breeze like around her. Not to much, but a simple balance. Yes I have deffenant ideas. But it has to be done by the 13th if I want to send it to state... Ha ha as I cringe...Endless work ahead of me. Then there's piano on top of that...So yeah hectic is an under statement.

And onto another subject, I wish geometry was NEVER invented! Oh my gosh this stuff is KILLING ME! I mean who can understand it? NOT ME! Yes...I was about freaking out in class the other day because I wasn't there when he explained everything, so I had no clue. And I have a group of friends in there, we always work in a group and it was so funny because they were trying to explain it and it was going strait in then strait out. It was not sticking no matter how hard I tried...Actually it wasn't funny at all...Sort of. So here I am having no clue, and I still have no clue...If anybody is some kind of Geometry Genius...PLEASE HELP!
