ACADEC Part II

Well, we're here in Grand Prairie at the most beautiful high school I've ever seen - Dubiski Career High School. For example, I just walked up 4 flights of spiral staircase to my team room, but I could have taken one of four elevators in the main lobby. If I were a high school student interested in cosmetology, I could take classes in the Toni & Guy hair salon. I could correspond with the Art Institute Online for my Graphic Arts program while sipping a latte from the cafe, or work on my business homework in the two-story library. WHAT?!?!? Here I am, 28 years old and jealous of a group of high schoolers.

Aside from that, the kids survived the short bus trip here. Get this. While we were in the bus waiting for one student, they moved us from one short bus to an even SHORTER one (picture to follow). Then we drove all the way here, where our poor little bus promptly gave up and the engine stopped. The driver finally got it cranked, we didn't have to spend the night in the Taco Bell, and the bus barn sent us yet another short bus all the way to Grand Prairie. So that's right, kids. We're on Short Bus #3. But you know what they say. Third time's a charm.
