In a Bit of Downtime...

So alright I'm here in the office and today started out kinda hectic as such as it's Thursday, and you know what that means???

Duh duh dah dunnnnnn!!! BROUGHTON!!

Yeah. That's my personal favorite. (not.) And so we packed out and headed over there a few minutes late as Shahin, the Rehabilitation student was here and went to the high school. Not bothering to check in I headed straight for the classroom to discover (as not in unusual fashion with Broughton) that today wasn't even a combined day as they told me, or maybe it was, but it surely didn't look like it. We were talking like 10 students today. Usually? It's 40. Apparently Broughton was wayyyy off its A game. But that wasn't surprising.

After going through my usual spiel of previous classes, when we got ready to break off into groups, two of the girls decided they didn't want to go with the program and just sat there. I tried to get them to move for about two seconds and decided it wasn't worth the effort moving about my business. The funny thing about this being we had talked about this as a class last week for awhile and I tried to get them to understand the fact that as a part of OCS they were labelled and that the school was just waiting for them to act out. They didn't quite seem to understand it but that's alright. Maybe one day. Again, I have to go. Later.

Huh....well THAT was interesting.

So I'm sitting here in a combination Huddle House/Greyhound bus station (though station implies that there's actually a place to do anything, whereas this is just a hallway that's attached to the Huddle House, so....yeah) and I just came back from making this uber spontaneous decision to come down and visit this guy Bobby that I've been talking to for the last few days, because I wanted something to do. Let's go through what he said, and what the reality actually is:

He said:

*He works in the hospital as medical administration.

The truth:

*He does work there, but part time he works at Taco Bell and he said it was for more income so he could turn around and do things that he wanted to do. That might be the case, but hmmm given this area...I don't know.

He said:

*He lived in Goldsboro and that I could come down and visit.

The truth:

*He does live here yes. However what he neglected to mention is that he lives with his sister and her boyfriend (and sometimes her son) in a 3 bedroom trailer and that there was barely any room for me to be around there, let alone trying to do something.

Gotta go for the bus. Update later.
