Theo Lacy

Theo Lacy is the largest correctional institution in Orange County. I have been going to visit someone love very much for the past 3 1/2 months. I won't say who that person is and why they are in there. The first time I went I remember it seemed kind of scary but fun in a way. I realized how many people go see their husbands, sons, brothers, boyfriends, fathers, or just friends. The officers there are very nice and help you out a lot when it's your first time there. There are two that are nice but are big flirts with a lot of the girls that go there, they are very annoying sometimes. But there is one in particular who is just a wonderful person. He is one of the older men there and is probably the nicest person there, and he's very handsome. =]
Today I went to my visit and talked to a lady who turned out to be very funny and fun to talk to. She was complaining how the two officers that flirt are mean and rude to her. We started talking about who was mean and who was nice. It made the wait go by faster. She made me laugh when she was talking about one really annoying girl, who would talk to the two officers who flirt with girls and she said the was ugly anyways. I told her I have noticed how so many girls go dressed as if they were going to a Night Club, and she laughed and said those were the ones the officers flirted with.
Every time I go to my visit I dress nice and do my makeup all pretty, but I don't exaggerate on my outfit. I find it ironic how on the Internet page of the Theo Lacy Facility they mention their rules on clothing and it specifically say "Clothing that is derogatory, offensive, revealing, or deemed inappropriate by the visiting staff will not be allowed." And half of the girls that go definitely break this rule. =] It's a facility full of guys so I'm sure they all agree that it's okay if the rules are bent once in a while.

School

I have always liked going to school, even during the Summer I would take classes in advanced. This summer was the exception though, and it seemed to last forever. I got bored after the first month of vacation, and I couldn't wait to start school. Now that School has started I am loving it! I always wake up happy and with a smile on my face because I love waking up early every morning to shower and get ready for school. Every class is very fun and my day always seems to go by too fast. It is nothing like high school was and I enjoy college a lot more. I thought I would miss high school but I actually don't. I do miss the amazing teachers I had throughout high school because they all had positive influences in my educational career and helped shape who I am today. I plan to go visit them soon and tell them how college life is going so far. CSUF has been great so far because I have met many amazing people who make school a lot more enjoyable and make me happy to keep going every day. =] I hope every day continues to be just as fun!
