so its been a while, i fear,
and since that time ive shed
many a tear

but enough for the pity stuff. time to get down to buisness. A few weeks ago, i made a mistake of giant proportions. and for that i must deeply apologize. I was caught up in a water fight and i threw a water bottle. I gave up names, like a snitch, and got many people in trouble. what kind of person does that? not someone that wants to live to see Oregon;; i can tell you that much. my consequence? one day of suspension, a summer without friends or a phone, and eight hours of community service.

yesterday i started my sentence of eight long tedious hours of manual labor working with random custodians who couldnt care less about what i did or why i was there, right? wrong. In fact, i was with a wonderful lady by the name of Ana. She told me all about her life. She goes to school in the morning and works all afternoon and evening. she has a daughter of 6 years old. she moved here from el salvador eleven years ago.

it opened up my eyes to how good we have it. or how good i have it at least. i dont have to work... except for as a punishment. i have a car waiting for me. im going to go snowboarding in the SUMMER in OREGON for pete's sake. so i must have looked like a spoiled brat to the custodians. this little fifteen year old standing at 5foot2andahalf;; who can barely mop the cafeteria because the mop is so heavy and the girl has never mopped before.

i have no idea where i was going with this...but im done. i just wanted to put that all out there.

and the fact that i am more than lucky for this chance to go to the white blissful heaven known as High Cascade. :)

peaceout.
