Tomorrow is the Special Olympics...

On one hand, I understand the value of this, and the importance of it, and I feel a strong urgency in doing whatever the lawyer says will help our case. On the other hand, I feel that if the DA knew what's been going on with us since the incident -- how the stress, disappointed fathers, crying mothers, and potential for lost future, (not to mention David's gf breaking up with him,) has broken our motivation, damaged our self esteem, and pushed us down... from talking with the other guys, how we've each seen a drop in our grades immediately after the event, how we each desperately need this weekend to study for finals on Monday morning... I'm sure the DA appreciates how much having a felony on our record could hurt our job futures, but if he saw the impact it's had on us, he might give us rides back to campus from the Special Olympics himself.

Then again... there's all that, but on the other hand, we don't have it all that bad. Say we don't get good jobs in the future like we wanted... I'm sure someone will take us. After all, we're smart kids, right?

I just saw the time and remembered a meeting with Chowon tonight... Usually she's a little bit late and I'm waiting for her... but not this long... ... She's not answering the phone. Dangit, I shouldn't have gone to that movie. I knew I would get distracted and forget, even though it didn't stall me that long. I'm gonna call once or twice more. Hopefully she'll forgive me.

...

:/ she didn't even call me or text me to see where I was. ... I wonder if she forgot, too....

I tried to get in touch with her yesterday, but she didn't answer then either.... but it was under the pretext that I thought that was our meeting....

Oh! She answered!

Ah she forgot too. *whew*

But still, this wasn't ok. Now I really wish I had that time to talk to her....... She said she'd be done in 30 minutes. I'm gonna stay awake and wait for her. Tomorrow will be a tired, hot, sweaty day of work for the community anyway since I'm getting less than 5 hours of sleep, but this way at least I get to see Chowon's face again.

I'll go see if I can get some coffee grounds from Ben for tomorrow morning. A tall cup of coffee might just set the day right... at least until the Olympics are over.
