September 29

Jason got moved to medium this morning.  Now it’s just me, Jim and Frankie.  And Jim only has a few days left.  I would like to stay in max until I finish the French course so I can get help from Jim (until he leaves) and Marc.  I enjoy getting out of the unit for an hour a day to work on French.  I think I’m doing alright but they talk so fast on tv that I don’t know if I ever will catch on.  Must keep at it though.  I think that I’m capable of learning many languages …

Dennis tells me that we might be able to get a big package next week, but I will have to see Winston first.  Jim is getting pissed that he’s not answering my calls.  He wants to send someone to give him a smack.  And I’m starting to agree that may be necessary…

… they wouldn’t let me put Ann on my visiting list for tomorrow.  No explanation given.  Assholes.

Well, Jim thinks he has the scabies (might have got them from the dirtbag, EL.  And they are contagious.  I don’t wanna get the little bastards … Dennis told me he might have something for me tomorrow.  Hope so!

… Winston didn’t show up again today.  Looks like somebody will have to go see him.  I don’t want this to happen but … I don’t understand why he won’t answer the phone, asshole …

It was a beautiful day out today, especially for the end of September … they put Joe A. in our unit tonight.  I don’t look forward to doing time with that fucked-up old wino.  Melvin M. is in the other unit.  I guess they had court in Souris today.  I doubt that Melvin would be wise enough to bring something in with him …

We’re getting the movie channel now as Jim is watching movies all day long.  Me, I hate watching movies … John Bradley took another week off, so we got the French stuff in the unit for the next 12 days.  I might even be able to finish it. … Frankie is in the room below me so I’m going to jump on the floor for a while now.
