My turn to crash the blog!!!

Okay, so it's been since January since I've posted. LOL. So I decided I mind as well crash the blog and update you all on what's going on in my life. Put it this way, BORING LIFE!!! But here I go and tell you what is up. *takes a deep breath*

1) I wanted to take the term off from school. Needless to say, my parents wouldn't let me and I hated school! LOL. but I'm down to 2 weeks left now for this term and then I get one week off before I start the summer term. Now I haven't quite decided if I'm taking off the summer term or not. I've preregistered, but I MAY just end up taking the term off. Hmm, that is a tough one for me to decide on. Oh crap, I need to get FAFSA done!

2) I just completed a 120 hour internship at the county jail. So what have I discovered? I don't want to do Adams County Corrections for sure, and at that rate, probably not any county corrections. I'd rather go to the state level, but the closest is York and I don't want to move there. But at the same time, the Hastings Correctional Center is on track for re-opening. I knew when they closed it down, they were just saving pennies and reopen it in the future! Hahaha. But the population is 138% over capacity. Given the fact that if the prisons reach 140% over capacity, that would be cruel and unusual punishment. So needless to say, the Governor won't release inmates, so why not have them just reopen this prison? Anyway, I'll apply there if they reopen it. Back to my internship though. I just mainly sat around and did nothing. Sad waste of 120 hours of my life. But I did get to meet 4 great deputies to talk to while I was there. And trust me, don't EVER start a debate with one of the conservative Republicans there. He'll have you beat in no time!!! LOL. But he was a funny character to argue with :).

3). HRC is remaining open as of now. LB542 may close us down in the future, but for now we are remaining open. I tell you, with all the cuts, they have US frontline staff doing the dishes now. Okay, what's wrong with that picture??? It's not in our job description!!! I shouldn't be doing dishes when I'm supposed to be working directly with the youth! That's just not right! I hate the fact that the state just decided to get rid of all the nutrition people (the majority I should say). You know, the next thing is that they're talking about us being groundskeepers too! We got rid of maintenance also! And then when winter comes, scooping snow! What is the world is wrong with the state!!!??? I swear, they just think that direct care staff should do all the other work EXCEPT working with the youth who are in tx!!! Oh that makes so frustrated. Anyway, so I'm trying to find another job to work because the pay is good, but it's stupid that I even be doing all this when it's not in my job description. But yeah, hopefully I can find a second part time job. I should apply at Boys Town in GI and work the overnight shift. Pay is good there also, but I don't have to do all this crap that HRC is making me do!

But that is the latest update from here. Doane is adding Criminal Justice next fall and I can't wait! I'm going to take one class from there probably and take one class from UNK. The reason??? I couldn't balance a CCC class this spring with my Doane classes so I had to drop it. Yeah, Doane has you do a lot of work. But the UNK class will be via satellite and I can transfer that to Doane and not have to take it there!!! Yee haw! But until then, I'm still plugging away at my Human Relations courses and eventually, pull a double major and degree :). But that's all I have to write. I better get going on the homework that I'm procrastinating on! See ya.

P.S. I plan NOT to get arrested now by the PD or Sheriffs office for fear that I'll NEVER hear the end of it from a couple of the deputies xD. Now, just to make sure that they don't CATCH me in the act is another story. Hahaha, just kidding! I'm an innocent angel who's lived a sheltered life according to most people at the sheriffs office!!! (okay, so the innocent angel was my part--but they think I do live a sheltered life!)
