Update since spring break

So I figured it's been a while for an update, so here it is:

Spring Break: So I went home for spring break. It was good to see everyone at home, including my cats. And everyone was happy to see me. While I was home, I caught up on some homework. And I was able to go to daily mass while I was home.

New cell phone: Yes, I finally got a new cell phone after having my old Nokia phone since 2002 or 03, somewhere around there. I got a Samsung Alias 2, and I love it! It has a double hinge, and can flip both ways. I can call people, and it has a speaker phone. The keys automatically change from vertical to horizontal, and can change from numbers to a QWERTY keypad. I can go on the internet too, although I use it mostly to go on facebook. It also has a calculator and a calendar. It also has a camera. Overall, it is a great phone. And it works really well. It also wasn't that expensive either.

Intensity: As soon as we got back from spring break, intensity started.

The first week was Covenant week.

Here, we focused on the covenant. We also wore blue and yellow all week.

Next was Star week.

During this week, we wore our twinkle shirts all week and wore a star around our necks. We also had to say "Lord let your light shine unto others through me." whenever a star called us twinkle.

Now it's Warrior week.

This week, we have to wear camouflage and wear a shield. And people try to steal this shield. I don't understand why they have to steal it. Can't they just get their own?

Stella retreat: A couple of weekends ago, we had household retreat. We spent a weekend at one of the star's parents' house. One memorable aspect of the weekend is that the twinkles had to put on a skit for the stars. So we did a spoof off of the covenant, titled "The covenant Fr Gregory has not seen." A lot of people liked it. Overall, it was a fun retreat.

Easter: I spent Easter at Franciscan. It's the first one that I've spent away from home. But I really loved the services that they had during the Triduum. I went to the Tenebrae prayer service and the way of the cross as well. The Easte vigil lasted a long time. The line to get into the feildhouse stretched all the way back to Starvagi. During the vigil, they read all of the readings. There were 3 baptisms, and quite a few confirmations. There was a resurrection party after the vigil. It was great.

Well, I have to go. I have a twinkle date I have to go to. Talk to you later!
