July 7, Thursday, didn't do much besides work on getting the independent study together.
July 8, wrote the proposal and faxed and emailed it to school. Then watched an office atty. do a juvenile hearing, which is odd from the start since they're closed to the public, so I had to enter the hearing room (which was smaller, just a plain old room, unlike a courtroom) with the atty., then she had to get consent from the client and from his parents just for me to be there. Anyway seemed like they'd be able to do something for this kid. His parents were very involved, and the judge was open- in this case- to putting him somewhere other than in detention, say, with extended family, out in the bush, where there's less trouble to get into and more work to get done.
Then steak night at the Legion. But I should have skipped it this time to go to Anchorage for a Moveon.org get-together.
