Unsorted

It is odd. How institutions run things.

I don't know what to think only what to feel.
Even then I sometimes don't know what to feel
and know what to think. THEN there are those
events where I can't figure out how to do both.

Since my Job Corps center is pretty low
on the Job Corps Center chain of centers.
Ours is on the verge of getting shut down for reasons
not shared with the students attending. I hear from teachers
that my Job Corps might get shut down in a year if they can't
get things straightened out. So they fire all the GED staff to be
replaced by new people. The thing is, all the GED teachers
were given a chance to apply for their jobs and
get interveiws. But it turns out that months before hand
the desicion to lay them all off had been already made.

Thats really messed up isn't there anything that can be done?

At the same time, I know that teaching a bunch of high school
drop outs and delinquints can be really hard. And not all of
Job Corps' population are delinquints or drop outs. I gradauted
from my high school and the only time I ever been in the
back of the police car was because I was miles from home.
And I really needed a ride, it was dark and cold. D: And the
second time was when my mum's car broke down and
the police officer was nice enough to give my friend and I
a ride home. Of course we couldn't resist the temptation of playing
a joke on the lady that lived with us. My friend Alan and I decided
that when we got in we would throw our hands up and tell her
that we were arrested. The poor lady, she looked so shocked
that she couldn't find the words to express her self. It was so hard
not to laugh that I did anyways and reassured her that nothing like
that happened.

It was funny though. =w=

Anyways, the students here are hard to keep under controle and
it is hard to get them to do anything but mess around. I don't know,
I hate the fact that I've lost my two club advisors for my club. And a
good friend, at the same time, I can see that the new staff could possibly
bring more order to the rebel students. *Sigh* I just don't know what to do
about it. I feel heartless at the same time I don't.

Really, though I think they should have kept the ones I had for my advisors.
I am not sure how well the new one will work out. I don't even know her
schedual.
