Subject: Yesterday was a bitch
Yesterday I got to Halcyon after I was at boulder hig for a few hours, just as usual. I got to math class and suddenly knew I was going to cry. "Greg, can I go see Stacy?" Stacy wasn't there, so I asked to go see Sherri (My homeroom teacher. She's really nice.) So he said no. I was starting to cry (Greg is so fuggin blind, I swear. (He's not really, but it sure seems like it some times)) I said it was important. "Well can it wait five mutes?" "No." "wll you should go talk to the principle then." THe principle happened to be standing outside the door. "Can I go talk to Sherri?" I asked, in tears. "Well, sure Caroline." I walked into Sherri's room and was having trouble talking because I had to take in such sharp breaths. I told her I didn't feel well, mentaly. I went into the small room attached to the class and cried for an hour before I could call my mom. I called and couldn't stop crying still. Then my voice got so loud I was yelling, and couldn't stop yelling. Mary-Alice took everybody out of the classroom. "OH MY GOD MOM, WHY CAN'T I STOP YELLING!" I even yelld to the class that I was sorry. I cryed for atleast four hours yesterday without stopping. And thaere you have it. Mum is screaming at me to get of the computer. Bye.

Sherri sounds cool. I'm glad you can go to her room when you need to, even if Greg is being a wanker.

Greg isn't a wanker at all. I think he's merely trying to teach you that in the real world there aren't as many breaks as we get at Halcyon. At Halcyon, it's like no matter what you do, it can't be wrong. No one will ever hold it against you. And that's just not true. Greg is the only one that cuts the amount of slack that you would probably get at a regular school. I think Greg just wants us to know that certain things that are accepted at Halcyon aren’t acceptable in other schools... and he teaches the 8th graders that more than anyone else, because next year we’re gone.

I'm not saying that what you did was wrong in any way; I'm just saying that Greg usually has a motive to teach you something.

Like when he would tell Steven to go into the timeout room for 15 minutes, then when 15 minutes was up and Steven had been good, he’d ask if he could come out. Then Greg would say no just because he was trying to teach Steven that the world isn’t always fair, and that you don’t always get what you want. Steven tends to act a little more like a five year old, and is just coming to terms with that concept. If you or I were put in the timeout room, we wouldn’t really care, and if we were told to stay in there longer, we wouldn’t really care either. However, it really pissed Steven off. It would happen enough times, and Steven wouldn’t get so mad anymore. Do you know what I’m getting at? He’s trying to help you recognize the situation, so if it ever comes up again, you’ll know how to deal with it, and hopefully it will be a little easier.

Halcyon is a special ed facility that is designed to teach you more than mathematics, social studies, language arts and science. It’s a place where people who for whatever reason can’t be successful in a “real world” environment, can learn how to cope. I think out of all of our teachers, Greg is the one that best demonstrates that.

I’m sorry I made this so long, and weird. I just think we mistake Greg for being an asshole when he really isn’t being one. You really didn’t get into it, but I guess when I start, I just can’t stop, ha.

I really hope you feel better. I was really worried about you on Monday... but it seemed like you got even a little giddy later on in the day.
