Today, in the Manufacturing Academy, we toured the Orion and Skills manufacturing facility. I'm impressed with my classmates. The diversity and positive insight has been a strong influence on me, and I'm learning a lot from the people themselves. As far as my classmates, this has been my favorite class of all time.

I don't know how this program attracted such a diverse group of people, but I am inspired by it.

I often find myself admiring my classmate's jokes, ability to communicate and their ways of working together.



I wish I was more socially capable of joking and expressing myself like my other classmates. I wish that I had the courage to own up to my flaws like the other people in class.

I'm obsessed with Ben, the sex offender. I'm both fascinated and worried about him.
. I confess I have a unhealthy obsession of him, but occasionally I do get very obsessive about indivuals anyways.
 and I keep wavering between wanting to protect myself and wanting to see Ben do well in life. I keep reminding myself that I don't know Ben,...

After an almost sleepless night, thinking on this

 I've decided that the only avenue is for me to reach out to other people and develop a stronger social network. Even if Ben turns out to be a creeper, I'm less likely to get in trouble, if I don't keep my actions a secret. Ben can't get power over me, if I have a strong social base.

Ben is scary, but I don't want to turn my back on him. Society has already closed its doors on him, and

Just finished Rizzmic, I feel amazing.
