January 26, Day 21

I went to lunch at 10:20. I had tater tots, a soy burger that was so gross and orange! I also had some potato salad. They feed us so much here. I'm going to have potatoes coming out of my ears pretty soon!

February 1, Day 27

Great Mass. I enjoy [going to church], it makes me feel good after I go and during. I feel like God is really present there with me.

February, Undated

There is a lady in here, she hit her roommate. The officers are up here now to evaluate the situation. She is a crazy lady who fights with everyone.

March 16, Day 70

I got an email from Gia. She got an award for perseverance. I started crying at the computer. I was so happy for her, and saying to myself, "That is my daughter."
