I've been on a gaia hiatus for awhile because I've been at Angell Job Corps CCC. I didn't complete high school and this place said it provides eduacation for HS diploma's. So I went. xp The center was a little weird at first. Males and females were seperated by dorms. A girl could never be in the males dorm and visa versa. (I spent two years of isolation living with females gonk ) They also encouraged me to learn a trade. I chose Dispencing Optician because they all seemed really nerdy and smart. xd
The other trades were really awful labor union jobs like, welding, painting, masonry and carpentry. I also considered being a cook, but the food was sick and everything was economy sized like Cosco!!! Being at Job Corps was easy, but it had draw backs. For example, you could only go home on the weekends and even if you wanted to do that you had to fill out a pass. You can't just wlak of center, it's called a "closed campus" maily because the residents outside job corps thought it was a correction center for troubled youth. As hard as it was adapting to the center I still found ways to keep myself busy. There was an art room that had lots of paint supplies, so i took up painting. I also ran for student government and became President! I wanted to be president so I could change some of their whacky rules. Well, I graduated and now I'm back! Lots of love to those who remember me and if you have any questions about my experiances I'd be happy to answer!

Yeah, I met alot of friends at job corps, some of them keep in touch and some of them are on gaia. Some of them joined gaia when I told them about it, but I pretty much stayed of the internet when I was there. I'd here to many announcments about stuff I couldn't participate in so the web was kind of depressing. Plus living in an isolated communitee teaches you alot about human behavior. I just got to know as much people as possible and listened to their stories. It was deep.
