Yesterday morning we got up and went to school for our little calss trip. We sat in the acadmeic center watching a movie and I can't even say what it was about. We got on the bus and passed out as usual. We stopped at this cafeteria on the way which was so cute and it was such a ncie day out. We got to the monastery and had another picnic lunch. Then we went inside the two churches. Thy were very pretty. At one point the class went next door and me and Joanna started taking pictures and we lost them. We walked all arund like idiots and they were right there. The teacher was actually kind of funny today. She was playing detective as tot h time that the chruches may have been built. She kept pointing out wather stains and piles of sotnes. We actually did not stay there too long. We got on the bus and slept the whole way home. Overall, I did not dread this trip like i thouhg I would. The bus dropped us off somewhere near our house and me and Joanna ahd no clue where we were but we found our way home. We were just sitting around and Aelx came by. She convinced us to to and sleep over even though she had no plans. I finally opened up to her about Larry. We'll see if anything happens now. We go to their house and got chicken for dinner. Then we got dressed really warm and they put the heat on nicely and we watched the Omen. I of course slept in the chair. We went to sleep and I totally enjoyed it. They left the heat on for me and we slept closely and we had blankets and the bed was so comfy. And the best part was the we got to wake up to sunlight even though it was only 8, At about 10, Dina's friend came over and we headed into the city. We walked around for a while and then we went and got ice cream. They have started doing things for Mardi Gras and it was like a carnival. People were dressed up and drinking and singing crazy songs. I will write the words when I get thm. It was really different and fun. Then we took the bus and wet to 222. We sat there for hours. Me and Alex went to get food but could not find anyting. Then we sat and played Trivial Pursuit and me and Joanna did not do too bad. When we got home we made food and then we had a therapy session. It was about my weight problem and my health problems. We both cried. Then we got on the subject of Renee too. We pretty much all need some help I think but especially me. The subject has gotten very annoying lately but I think that our talk today helped. Now Joanna went to her cousins and I have to finish up a paper for tomorrow. This week is going to be a busy one but I am just going to have fun because it is Joanna's birthday. This weekend was actually a lot of fun too in a laid back way.
