What a day!

I would add pictures from today, but AOL doesn't like me that much...I'll fight it later.

Today was the best day we've had at the academy. Yesterday, the NPQ-I class decided to come into our room with a little...show. 'Class attention'    "E-404   you may think you've got it, but without this rope-you ain't sh**"  Oh it's on now. Today they came in from a break to find a sign on their door  HANGING ROPES     Geriatric home of the 'old-old'   We gave you enough rope to hang yourselves with.   Today's lunch: prunes and Metamucil    Today's activities: knitting and embroidery            When we went on our next break, we had a sign on our door that said 'NURSERY'....had a bottle and abc building blocks. Obviously, we retaliated again during lunch. Put a picture of a gravesite 'NPQ- rest in pieces'  with a crow on the tombstone and a hangman's noose hanging from a tree in the background. We had a couple people keep them occupied while we flipped every table upside-down and put a glove on the door. We blew the glove up and taped down 3 fingers, middle and thumb left up, get it? We also managed to grab one of their ropes they have to wear (for practicing knots) and put it on a manequin in our room...along with a pair of sunglasses and a sign pointing to the dummy's butt "KISS THIS"         According to their instructor, 'it's on now, ya'll are going to get it.'   That just egged us on...a couple NPQ-I students left some of their PT clothes on the back porch to dry. Next thing you know, the clothes were hanging from the tower...7 stories up. The same instructor went up to get the gear. (Keep in mind, we have a lot of military folks who know some cool knots) She pulls the rope up, as soon as it touched the little lip at the top, the 'pop knot' worked it's magic and the clothes went flying. It was beautiful. They landed with a satisfying WHUMP onto the kitchen roof. The NPQ-II class had to help her get the ladder to get the stuff down.

Class itself was ok. Went over what will be on our exam Monday. Then we learned about strokes, seizures, and other similar situations. A lot of the things we learn don't seem like there would be that much to it, there is. I usually don't feel like writing it all in here because I don't want to bore you and I'd rather spend that time studying.

Today was one of our classmate's last day. He is a military man and has been activated. He reports Monday for his orders and will probably be going to Iraq. Come home safe 'Soul man!' We'll be waiting for your safe return!
