Teenagers aren't so bad...

... I had a really good day that revolved around spending time with "them:" teenagers! Up until a few months ago, I thought I detested that age group, but I'm learning that they're really not that bad! :)

Our cessation class this morning was great! The teenagers were insightful, respectful, and very honest. I learned two things about them:

1.) NONE of them eat breakfast on a regular basis. (In fact, most agreed that if they ever *do* eat breakfast, it's on the weekends.)

2.) 8 of 10 have parents/guardians who smoke currently. Fascinating!

Anyway, it was a really nice morning, and I'm looking forward to my next 4 classes with them.

Next, we went to my roommate's drama class to judge their final tobacco skits. They were awesome!! It'll be hard picking a winner, so they might all win. (Winners will have their skits made into videos that will be shown to 4th/5th graders all over the area. We're even talking now about presenting the video at a regional conference this summer!) My coworkers, my roommate, the students, and I are all stoked about this collaboration! How awesome is *that*?? This could be huge! :)

Okee, that's all for now. I hope I've redeemed myself from the fiasco of Wednesday... (I also saved the County $400 on $1,000 worth of ordering, so that was good, too!) :D

Have a good weekend, all!
