A few of the students spent the night
at the storefront. They turned the lights down at midnight. The boys slept in
one room and the girls in the other. Craig stayed to supervise, along with a
few older volunteers. Nothing bad happened. I’m not sure why I thought it
would, but a part of me was very relieved. Maybe I’ve been brainwashed into
thinking that whenever there’s a group of students around, trouble is sure to
follow.
Today, we continue working. The
Senator is coming out swinging, according to the newspaper. He said that
Johnson is deceiving himself. Craig was happy. Most of the students will leave
tonight to go back to school. Ron, from National will come by tomorrow to stay
with us for a few days. Craig is nervous about it, for some reason. I wonder if
I should be nervous as well.
