The Journey

The theme of the retreat was The Journey. It wasn't as mind-blowing as last year, but still good. The freaking awesome speaker from last year was back, but he only did one group meeting. His mentor did the rest.

It was a really good time of healing some relationships that have been broken since last year. I also feel a lot better about our club as a whole. Last year they were so clique-ish (I have to admit I was part of the problem for awhile, we had our "sophomore girls" clique). After the rest of my clique left, I was alone and realized just how terrible our group was about that. This year they aren't at all, and I'm really excited about that. The leadership team doesn't feel that they are above everyone else and are actually able to co-exist with the rest of us (:-O) and the freshmen are also involved, don't feel like they have to stay back timidly. Soo good. I had a really good time getting to know a lot of people. There were about 400 college students plus staff there. I had some good conversations with people from all over the place. Also some good time with God, of course. We all had an hour for quiet time on sunday morning. The problem is there were very few places to go, and 400 students. The main lodge was so full of people and some were talking so it was really hard to get connected and have a good quiet time. Still good though.
The majority of my group ^

Now I'm back to reality, with a ton of piled up stuff to do :(
