05. senior year of h.s.

I can't tell you how much fun I've had this week. It's been so great to just do whatever... and see so many people and truly have fun.After Senior Project Exhibition on Monday, Kim, Aims, and I went out to Max & Erma's to grab a bite (or a heck of a lot of food)…

May 16,2002Once again, the day started in the courtroom with the arraignments. I sat with Jeff in the bailiff’s box, and observed the happenings. I’ve neglected to mention the diversion programs that Judge T likes to use. There is a DUI diversion program and a DUS diversion program. They are both...

May 20, 2002This morning was a typical Monday and relatively busy, compared to my first day on Senior Project. I think we had about 9 people in jail who had to be arraigned on top of the other arraignments. I went back to sitting in the jury box, although Nancy wanted me with the bailiffs…

May 21, 2002Today was a very interesting day. The morning, as usual, came with arraignments. The unusual part, was the fact that there were, once again, about 6 or 7 people in jail. How is it possible for that many people to be out driving drunk (most of them) on a Monday night? At any…

May 22,2002Today I had to get up extra early to shadow Marty, the court officer. I’ve known her for over a week now, but I’d really only seen what she did within court until today. Her days start off bright and early, at 7am. It’s her responsibility to open the court offices. She comes in…

May 30, 2002This morning the court was running very behind. Actually, it wasn’t so much the court, but the police station that was late. Arraignments cannot take place until we receive the cases from the police department. I stood in the courtroom for awhile, talking to the MOL court officer of t...

May 13, 2002My first day, I must admit, was nothing like I expected. I was a little nervous going into it, because at that point, I had no official on-site coordinator. I walked up to the court window, which, from the outside, is rather intimidating. After a few minutes, Nancy came out into the l...

May 14, 2002Today I wasn’t with the Judge as much, but rather with the Bailiffs. I had no idea there could possibly be so many bailiffs. I think I met three of them yesterday, but I definitely didn’t catch their names. Once again, the morning was filled with arraignments. I finally asked what an ...

May 15, 2002I was with the bailiffs again today. This time Jeff was in the box for arraignments, where I sat again. I guess Wednesdays are always busy, because Wednesdays have traffic court in addition to the normal arraignments. Basically traffic court requires anyone who has had their second vi...

Several things need to be quickly highlighted at this point in the weekend.First of all, Rob needs to stop flattering me and coming on to me online. Really... needs to stop. I don't care if he's just being nice and friend-ish or not, because to girls, no - that's coming on. Furthermore (why do I&...
