TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I am having so much fun and I can't stop! I have talked to so many people that I am very overwhelmed!!!!!!!!! I love to talk a lot, but sometimes all of it goes over my head.

Today I talked a little bit, but a got a whole lot of information from doing so. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL IN TWO DAYS. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE I GO BACK!

I have heard much about World Youth Day from my youth group overseas. There in Cologne, while I am stuck here in America. That would be so cool to see the pope, but World Youth Day started a week after I got back from the cruise. I didn't think I would have enough energy to be able to go. I WAS RIGHT! I do hope to go to World Youth Day in a few years. It sounds like a lot of fun. I can't wait to hear the youth group's assessment of the trip. I think they are going to be very amazing stories.

Youth group is cancelled tomorrow because they will be getting back on Monday. Youth group will resume next Sunday.

During dinner we watched some reruns of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." I have to tell you that the episodes are hilarious!!!!! The show is so bizarre, yet very comical!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Mychaela, AGAIN!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoyed your birthday entry!!!!!! I can't wait to hear back from you about your special day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
