Jail Time!
Well, Wednesday night I spent an hour in jail. It wasn't too bad though. Only got yelled at a few times. The inmates try to scare you but if you don't let them see your fear they back down. The officers were pretty nice to me at least. They even showed me around...but that's because I was there for a tour. I went with our Jr. Highers to the jail to further illustrate our lesson on Authority. We had a "good" time if that's possible in a jail. I think it helped the students grasp that they need to respect authority and make wise decisions.
The sad thing was when students were saying "hi" to inmates, not because they were being nice but because they knew them. One student, when we got there, told me his brother was in juvenile hall and he knew his way around the jail. One student, has a dad who was there for a year and then got moved to prison. It was a good experience and just opened the eyes to see things that I've never seen. Pretty uncomfortable.
It's been 1 week since the first workout of the new year. So far it hasn't been a problem to get up at 5:45-6:00 every morning to work out. I do feel better and have lost 8 lbs. since starting.
Yesterday was Jenise's birthday so we spent some time together. I beat her in bowling again, 116-99. Yeah we bowl like once a year or two.
Pretty uneventful blog but that's how life is sometimes.
