Hello!!apologies for the stagnant blog as of late..I’ve been busy this couple of weeks with a couple of big assignments finally due this week..plus I was away for the weekend at a retreat!

The retreat was great. I don’t know quite how to describe it. I feel spiritually charged from the weekend and somehow closer to God. It really made me reflect a lot on my life and my actions..It was pretty short..one and a half days..but I got a lot out of it:) there were talks,meditations (kind of like long homilies on certain topics), rosaries, stations of the cross, benedictations..we had a pretty packed schedule..there was always something to do and think about.

It took place at this place called bargo, an hour's drive from sydney..it was basically a big house specially built for retreats..with a chapel and a lot of rooms and a big dining area..and there was a nice garden out back for us to walk about too..we didn't leave the house at all..it wasn't formally a silent retreat, but we told from the beginning that retreats were generally more silent than normal..I was a bit uncomfortable with that at first, but I soon began to realise why it was neccessary to maintain the silence..so we would have more time to think about God and to talk to Him instead of others..The retreat was about spending time with God and improving our relationships with Him, not with other people...although I did get to meet some nice people as well of course..:)

Retreats aren’t for everyone I guess..I just wanted to experience one and see what exactly it was like..and I’m really glad I went:) although I’ve now got a mountain of work..alrighty gotta go people!have a great week!:)

Mandy: HELLO!!haha yes it is exciting..but I just wish I could be at home with my sister right now during this exciting period :P sigh..but yes yes I still can’t really believe I’m gonna be an aunt:)
Pips: haha erm..what the heck are you talking about??!
Lynn: yo!congrats on finally finishing exams!!:)you must be enjoying life now..:)hah yeah my collegemates were all telling me how brave I was for actually getting rid of those HUGE roaches..ugh.
Serine: SERINE!!hello:) nice to see you hanging around:)how are you?take care ya!
