Hi Everyone!
Well I have a couple seconds and access to a computer so I thought I would blog quite to check in. So it looks like a blog topic was favorite movies or music. That's cool. I wonder what you guys are talking about in class right now? Things are going fine. I am off of observation finally and now have a little (not a lot) more freedom than before. I have become pretty close to a girl from Chicago and she is doing a good job keeping me company. Everyone thinks we look alike and they call us sisters. Anyways...I did this amazing obstacle in REC. today. It was so powerful it made me cry. This was my first time being off the 2nd floor since I had been here so I was excited. An obstacle was designed to represent our life line. It was roped off and had little birdies (the bad-mitten kind) spread all around and bowling pins and cones roped together. There were also some little bean toys that. WE had to be blind-folded and walk through the course by having a partner answer yes or no questions that we would ask to guide us through it. You didn't want to hit anything, because if you did you would get spun around one time or two. The birdies, pins, cones represented relapses in recovery and the little bean toys represented good things in life, like family and friends. You had to go about the course by asking your partner questions like, "can i go left? can I go right, is something good by me?" They would then answer yes or no. I didn't get all the way through the course because for some reason it had too strong of an affect on me and I had to stop. It was fun though. Weather has sucked and that has not made me happy. I miss everyone and everything back home so much. I just want to get out of here. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and I am thinking of all of you! Good Turkey hunting!
