My Journal

Yesterday was pretty dangerous but kind of funny too. My recycling partner and I do the recycling job. We split it between ourselves and do the job. Before recycling, everybody had to clean out their desk. So, I lost 5 minutes on that. Then, while I was dumping all the paper, the box/bucket thing slipped out of my hands' grip and fell with a THUD! into the main recycle thing. Tensed up by all the stories I heard about this same incident, I went into the dumpster to see if I could carry the bucket with me out there. When I realized that the only way would be to throw the bucket out and climb out, I decided not to do it. It would probably attract attention. It's a good thing I thought about that because some boys were on their way and I would have been in big trouble. I found out later that Dumpster Diving was not allowed by the way the manager of all recyclers (a sixth-grade teacher) said it to me. At first I thought it was funny, but then I later realized how much trouble I would've been in that day. Not just getting a write-up but also what if I could not have climbed out of that recycling thing. I was saved by God's grace. D:
