Blackstronauts… need I say more?

Not the drawing

Yes I did just say holy doddle. My Anthropology prof has taken to using this term and I feel it fits to how my life is going lately. I am at the point where the switch in my brain is constantly in the on position. This will end when I finish writing the 52 odd pages of essays that are do in the next month. I am however quite happy with my courses as for the first time in my long university career I am pulling a 4.0 in two courses at the same time. the rest of the courses either don’t have any marks yet or are too little to make any predictions.

Work is going well on both fronts. I have been paired up with a new youth for a one on one at CPASP and it seems to be pretty good. I have been able to get him interested in volleyball and his mother was telling my supervisor that it was the first time that he as been that excited about sports and his instructors. The youth centre is still standing.

I have had some interesting guest lectures this week, specifically revolving around the youth in the inner city and the involvement of youth in the YCJA. We had some members of the Youth Restorative Action Project (YRAP) come speak to us at it sound s like a program that I could fit into quite well. A neat thing they have done to help youth learn what rights they have is they have created a cd with hiphop and the charter of rights for youth within it. As I am listening to it I think it will be a good way to get the rights out to the youth so they know what rights they have as youth. The site is the following if you are interested in the program.http://www.yrap.org/ It started locally but is slowly making its way across Canada and it is even sanctioned under section 18 of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Next week is a busy one for me with a presentation and two large midterms but I will try to post more often.

Crazy
