I'm sorry about keeping you in suspense...

My weekend... wasn't debauched at all! It was so much fun!

For the uninformed, I went on a retreat for my CORE 101 class to Big Bear. We stayed in these HUGE luxury cabins in the mountains, and I have to say, I had a blast. I wasn't expecting much when I left - I wasn't really good friends with anyone in my class. But I totally bonded with the other members. I slept in a room with the quieter girls - Modupe, Lauren, Heather, and Julia. That Friday night, we just gabbed and gossiped until all hours. Then, on Saturday, I went bowling with Meredith, Lindsey, and Liz in town. I enjoyed Big Bear - it was a cute little village with lots of fun coffee shops and restaurants. The best part of the retreat was our sing-along after the presentations at night. Three hours of the most RANDOM group singing Pink Floyd, oldies, kid's songs, etc. The next day, we cleaned up the house and split! I'm sure I'll refer to this retreat in future entries. It was definitely a bonding experience for our class. I loved the "oral traditions" with Evan, swapping band stories with Lauren, debating movies with Brian, dissecting the binaries involved in our daily lives... it was truly wonderful. I have lots of pictures, which I will eventually put into a photo album of some sort. I'll keep you updated on that front.
