Ok, know first off that this is a "catch up" entry. Written on the 24th, but added here on the 27th. *Wrote next few entries in a notebook Adam bought me* Anyways, leeme start it out.

Started with me getting few hours of sleep. *stayed up till 3AM with Alex from bible study, we played video games* So we get up at 7AM and get ready to go to the christian retreat.

After all that, we went in the car and drove there. On the way there, Adam *the driver* put on some christian music. At first, I was like. OH NO! Though as I relaxed, it started to be quite soothing. The music had me thinking about how I can be a happy christian. Though later, Alex let me listen to his music. Very similar to what Jeff liked. Lots of punk rock. Anyways, eventually we arrive.

The place looks junkier than I thought it would. Was empty at the time too. *we were the first ones there* To kill time, we played LOTS of basketball. Others show up about 3 hours later. We walk around, I snap a few pics, and start to enjoy nature.

Later on, we all went to watch the big basketball game at nearby restaurant. *kings and lakers* My team WON! Was nice to hang out and stuff. We then go back.

While there, I get left kinda alone. So I decide to explore. *actually, Alex left me, cause before that, he was hanging with me* I find this great place by the lake. There, I talk to God. Was SO cool, I really felt a connection with him. I then go to my cabin.

I have a cabin all by myself. It was lonely, then Crawadog invited me to his. In his cabin, he had all kinds of "brothers" We talked about the game and then me and Alex went to play basketball. I get my notebook and write all this.

So far at this point, Feel good. Feeling a lil fire inside. Hoping it would last. Anyways, end of this entry.
