Let's go!
I was looking forward to this day since last week. My teacher told my class and I that we were going on our first middle school/intermediate retreat. As soon as I got home that day I started to plan my outfit and organised what I needed to pack (which was only food and water, supposedly).
And when today came, I woke up with excitement. I haven't have a retreat since last year for the end of my elementary/primary years. And it was the perfect excuse to wear whatever you want, so I was pretty happy.
As soon as I got there I visited my old school with my best friends Christa and Yasmin since the venue was close to my old school. Christa and I went to the same school and Yasmin went to another so she felt a little bit awkward walking through the paths of our school.
Right after our little visit my class and another class started retreat and I'll just tell you what happened quickly so you don't have to read a bunch of words:
We played games called ice breakers, had some guest speakers talking about Faith and what they do in their everyday life, ate our lunch (of course), watched a couple of videos, got into groups to do activities, and during lunch Yasmin, Christa and I played Truth or Dare. I wanted to be dared myself so whenever I won or lost I would always be dared or asked what the truth was. It was interesting because I picked dares and they were all about saying 'hi' to the popular people.
Finally, the retreat ended and Yasmin, Christa and I went inside the school and visited the classrooms again and this time we went on new but huge swing that could fit up to six people. Yasmin was screaming her lungs out. I was also screaming, but not for the same reason and because I just wanted to scream.
That's it for this post and overall I had a day that I will never forget. Photos of Yasmin, Christa, and I are down below and bye bye, my Mariannettes!
