Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Last Friday and Saturday was our spring floor retreat. There were about 15 of us who went, which in my opinion is a good number for a "large" group. We went to Shanelle's house in Valencia, so I was quite happy to take Valencia somewhere that bears her name. Charlotte had made CDs for each car to listen to on the drive up, gotta love random 90s CCM and Disney songs, haha.

There was a surprising lack of Friday evening traffic on the 5, so we made it in pretty good time. Shanelle's house is really nice and her family was very welcoming to us. Upon arrival we took some time to relax with chips and salsa and a few teen magazines. I should mention that our theme was "sleepover" in case that might clarify a few things. We made personal pizzas for dinner. It's amazing to me the variety the caf has for pack out meals. Anyway, we enjoyed pizzas and just hanging out.

After dinner we played a couple rounds of Truth or Dare Jenga (always interesting, espeically with Biola people) and several rounds of Twister in our pajamas. There were definitely some fun photo moments in there. :)

Let's recap, random 90s music, chips and salsa, pizza, truth or dare, twister, teen magazines...what are missing? More junk food and a movie! We made some pretty amazing icecream sundaes and watched "Made of Honor" Interesting movie, good for a sleepover, enjoyable enough, but I don't know if I'd necessarily opt to watch it again. After the movie some people wanted to watch another one, but about half of us (who had the "sleep deprived college student" mode kick in) opted to go to bed. I was very glad I did the next morning when I heard they had watched Edward Scissorhands, I hate that movie, but that's for another discussion.

I definitely got way more sleep that night that I had in quite some time. In the morning we had our caf pack out breakfast and slowly got ourselves ready to head back to school. We stopped at a mall foodcourt for lunch and then trekked back to homework land.

Really fun relaxing weekend, I needed that. In the meantime, I'm feeling fairly alright with my wschoolwork load. I read about 200 pages this weekend, but enjoyed all of it. I highly recommend reading "When God Weeps" by Joni Earackson Tada, it's amazing, a little intense, but amazing. The news for the week is that I'm on the waitlist for acceptance into San Diego State. I'm #4 out of 28 on the list, so I'm really hoping and praying that means I'll get in.

Enjoy a few pictures from the weekend :)
