GED

Day 23--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, I had a really good day today. They already put me in GED classes. I was taking pretests today in Social Studies, Science, and Reading (I got a 530, 530, 620 (it takes 410 to pass, and 800 is the highest)). I think I did pretty well. Most of it was all common sense and reading comprehension. Simple. After class got out I played a lot of pool and won most all my games, I'm getting better!

Then after this GREAT day SOMEONE just had to ruin it. The dorms switch off cleaning Rec each week. Every day it's a different wing. This week the boys in dorm 3 have Rec. And I'm not sure what wing it was but this boy, Evan Vandiver, threw me an attitude when I assigned him a job. He's 19! I asked him to mop the gym floor with two other people and he REFUSED. I didn't ask him to do anything unreasonable. He wanted to clean the weight room but someone was already assigned. I mean, really? If he has just DONE it, without wining,  it could have been finished really quick and simple. Then I ended up being the bad guy. Grrr.

Also, some students were in the weight room earlier, not working out just flirting with some of the girls who were clearly just messing around.  I told them plain and simple that the weight room was for people who meant to work out, and others may need to use the equipment. I asked them to leave if they weren't going to be using it and they didn't of course. After 15 min I got staff and they said they didn't know I was a Rec Leader. I call BS. But I ended being the bad guy (of course) and they all stormed out giving me dirty looks. It's not like they got into trouble. SIGH. Comes with the territory I suppose.
