Joan and Judith walk to their bedroom in decently up beat spirits and hop into bed.

Amy- walks in and says "I need to give you both your night meds before you can go to sleep" "You have some water left in your water bottles I see so you can take your meds with that"

Joan-not a huge fan of medicine, and lacking the power to take big pills like the ones for her lyme diesese took a few tries to get the pill down, but after choking some she opens her mouth for Amy to prove it is down."

Judith-"I don't want any of my medicine tonight-I refuse"

Amy-"Well I have to ask you again, Judith I need you to take your medicine, Will you do this for me?"

Judith-"Nope, I refuse"

Amy-"Judith, one last time will you take the medicine your mother prescribed you and wants you to take"

Judith-"Same Answer as before Amy, I refuse, and I know you can't make me take the pills, but I will be happy to sign the refusal of medication sheet for you"

Amy-pulls out a sheet for meds and points to where Judith needs to sign, and watches in big sloppy writing as Judith signs her name in the blank." "Well, Judith it is noted you are refusing your medication, and as none of them are serious meds I'll let you talk about it tomorrow with your psychologist." "Joan, I need you to sign here indicating you did take your meds tonight." Joan signs the form like she is asked, and Amy leaves the room saying "Good Night"

Judith and Joan-laying in bed hears Amy cornering an approaching Darlene to take her meds in the hall way.

Darlene-soon after taking her med in the hallway walks in to see both her room mates lying in bed already. She tries to ignore them both and lay in bed her self.

Judith-Looks at Darlene and after 2 minutes of nothing from her, and Says, "Hi Darlene, My name is Judith, I'm your other room mate besides Joan here" "I hope I am not troubling you to much by saying Hi at the moment as that's what normal people do when they tend to walk in to a bedroom they plan to share for a whole summer with and see a new room mate."

Darlene-annoyed she answers, "Hi Judith, now that you are happy and know my name I'm planning to go to bed"

Judith-"Wow aren't you are a friendly one, almost like a crazy wild cat" "Oh and Darlene if you don't mind cleaning up your hair balls on the floor tomorrow, that would be awesome"

Joan-"Judith, we have to spend all summer with Darlene we should at least try to get along." "Hey, Darlene I hope you sleep well tonight."

Darlene didn't say anything to Joan or Judith the rest of the night. Joan and Judith both fell asleep pretty quickly too after the lights in the building were turned off by a counselor and asked to "Sleep Well"

Joan for the first night since before being in the hospital spent the whole night asleep without a single nightmare, and happily even woke up refreshed in the next morning. Joan full of energy when the counselors told everyone it is morning and time to get up, looked at her room mate Judith who was still fast asleep drooling on her pillow to form a giant poodle Joan laughed and went to say, "Hey Judith, it is time to wake up now!"

Judith-sleepily looked at Joan wondering who she even was said, "Fuck no it's not time to get up…." With that Judith rolled over and feel back to sleep.

Darlene-Laughing from across the bedroom Darlene says, "Looks like Judith doesn't really want to wake up yet, Joan" Darlene at this got up and grabbed her workbook, journal and pen and left the room.

Joan-"Hey, Judith, Get Up already!!!" and went to shake Judith to get up, thinking of how she often didn't like to wake up when her mom tried this at home she felt almost hypocritical for trying such a tactic on her new room mate, but did anyways.

Judith-sleepily remembering she is at Gentle Acres again moans, stretches and says, "Joan if this you being perky and waking me up in the morning is going to become a habit I think you may need to go sleep with Darlene on the other side of the room."

Joan-"Don't worry; I'm not always like this." "Yet, last night I slept amazingly well, maybe this medicine I'm on is finally helping me sleep better."

Judith-"Well that is nice" and jumps down from the top bunk, and says "Alright Joan lets go to flags then."

Joan thought-Wow Flags are really not that exciting to tell you the truth. The whole camp stood in a circle around the flag pole and everyone said the pledge of allegiance and the counselors raised the flag. It wasn't till the last second that a loud canyon went off and scared the crap of Joan and practically every other person nearby that Joan looked over at a fully awake looking Judith.

Judith-"God I hate that canyon."

Joan-Still slightly shaken up from surprise of the canyon says, "Yah, I totally didn't see that coming?" "If I wasn't awake before I sure am now."

Judith-"Oh don't worry maybe we will remember tomorrow, and if not better luck the following day." "Sadly, I'm sure we will remember some day to brace ourselves for the morning canyon"

Judith and Joan walk into cafeteria to get breakfast and meet up with Virginia in the cafeteria line.

Virginia-"Wow, Judith is alive and awake, and it isn't even 8:20 yet." "I feel Joan you must have dragged Judith down here by her toes for this miracle to occur."

Joan-laughs "Well it was actually more like pushing Judith off the top bunk of my bed, and watching her moan from the injuries and then drag her by her toes to tell you the truth."

Judith-"Yeap that sounds about right, owhhh I think my arm is broken from the fall maybe I can get out of her to go to the doctors..laughing now there is an idea I haven't used yet-breaking a bone or something…Hmmm and look at the wonderful breakfast options of boxed cereal or oatmeal" "I think my brain cells are going to explode with all my choices"

Joan-"What no pop tarts?" "I think I'm just going to skip breakfast today"

Virginia-"Oh funny Joan, and I'm the Easter Bunny." "The counselors will force you to eat twice as much if they see you not pick something up." "If you want to skip breakfast, you need to be sneaky about it and take a small amount of the oatmeal and just pretend to eat it, and then stick it to random parts of your bowl or throw it on the floor."

Judith-"Hmmm Coco Puffs those won't last long here, I guess I'll go with them today."

Once all three have some food, they go and sit down at their table from yesterday, and pretend to eat some breakfast.

Virginia-"So I meet your room mate Darlene last night, man she is a bitter hag"

Joan-"Yah you can say that again, but how and when did you meet her?"

Virginia-"Well Darlene is in the best ever group ever- You know Echo, with me." "Don't worry she told me all about how much she is dieing to get to know you two better."

Judith-"Glad to see you have some team spirit this year" "However, I still think you are going to go down after breakfast in Kickball"

Joan-"How do you know we are playing Echo? In Kickball"

Judith-"Being able to read the minds of the counselors for starters always helps, and well I guess it was on the schedule." "The other two therapy groups of clients we will never play games with us or even see except at meals."

Virginia-"True that Judith"

Joan-"Well I'm thinking our team might not be so bad at Kickball." "I mean I am uncoordinated and will suck, but I'll still try my hardest, and well we have this girl Vickie who seems to be a lesbian-lesbian girls are often great at sports, and this cheerleading volleyball ditz Brie, who should be decent."

Judith-"Oh Joan you forgot the people who will be the most help?"

Joan-"Really, I didn't picture you as one who would care to participate fully." "And well Annette would rather roll on the ground and pretend to be a maggot then play kickball I'm sure of it."

Judith-"Good one but you are totally wrong again Joan." "The Counselors Amy, and Christy will be playing with us, and well knowing who Echo has as Counselors this should be guaranteed win even if all I plan to do is talk to Joan the whole time in the outfield"

Virginia-"Hey, Don't knock my fat ass counselors Cat and Emily that is my job for the summer" "Besides my team has a few winners on it."

Judith-in disbelieve asks, "Yeah Like who?, and I want you to point them out in the lunch room right now"

Virginia-pointing "Well that girl with the red steak in her hair is Sarah" "Sarah, is a pushy aggressive activist type girl who although totally anorexic, loves to run marathons" and then pointing to another girl says, "And that girl with the large zit on her chin is Becky." "Well Becky honestly may suck, but I learned she has a 22 year old boy friend who smokes pot with her all the time, and is a big time manipulating liar, who plays video games all day-However she is at least skinny and that counts a lot on my team" "Because I also have Darlene and April"

Joan-curious to learn about other girls here asks "Can you point out April?"

Virginia-"Sure, that won't be hard at all, look over there and see the fat ass trying to hide corn pops in her hoody pocket right now with the fake smile on her face, that is April"

Judith-"Nice corn pops in the hoody pocket she looks like a real winner."

Virginia-"Yeah but corn pop girl is my winner thank you very much." "So I'm curious who is the maggot girl? can you point her out for me Joan?"

Joan-"Over in the corner with the other Emo chicks, the girls looking down at the ground, the one with a pale complexion to her face and arms."

Virginia-"HA HA that could be any of the three girls at that table." "You need to be more specific Joan."

Judith-leaning over to help Joan out says, "Virginia, Maggot girl is the one with no eyebrows and a fat nose with surprisingly no piercing holes in it"

Virginia-Smiles and says" "Now that is a description I can use" "So let me guess is Brie the girl standing by the counselors right now with her long sleeve t-shirt rolled up to so the whole place can see her belly button at the moment."

Judith-pretending to ring a fake bell then says "Ding Ding Ding, Good one" "You spotted one of our winners" However watching Christy stand up Judith says "And right on time too Virginia as that completes round one."

Christy-"Alright Ladies, put your trays away and I would like Team Echo and Luna to line up behind me now based on height."

Both the teams line up mixed together based on height and followed Christy out to the Kickball field.

Christy-"Hello my name is Christy, and this is Amy" she says to the Echo girls. "And Listen up Luna, I would like you to meet Cat and Emily the Echo Counselors" "Alright, I'm sure you all know because you read your schedules that today's first activity is Kickball." "Now we picked this sport because it is fairly easy to play and I hope everyone knows the rules already." "Does anyone not know the rules?" after seeing silence from all the girls said "Alright, good just to let everyone know this is just to have fun, and get some exercise we don't plan to keep score as we don't want any winners or losers" "With that said Luna take the field, we are going to let Echo start us off kicking"

Judith and Joan run to the outfield and immediately start talking. They leave their team mates to fill the other spots. Watching as Brie goes to 2nd, Vickie goes to 1st, Annette goes to 3rd, and last but not least Amy decides to be the pitcher, and Christy decides to join Joan and Judith in the outfield.

Christy-After watching Judith completely miss the first pop up kick near her because she was to busy talking to Joan to notice the easy catch slowly walks to go to get the ball and in the mean time Sarah on team Echo gets a home run.

Christy-looking over at Judith say, "So Judith, are you going to actually try at kickball or just talk to Joan for the next hour?"

Judith-"What makes you think I'm not trying?" while arguing with Christy April kicks another ball right to Judith. Judith misses the ball but goes to get it and throws it to Brie and almost gets April out at 2nd Base and halfheartedly says. "See I'm trying"

Christy-"Ok whatever, but if you and Joan are talking and interfering with the game I will separate you two"

Christy-However, Christy after telling off Judith got to thinking ahh I have actually never seen Judith this happy in the over 2 years I worked with her, maybe this friendship with Joan is really good for her. Once looking over and seeing Judith smile as she slowly pretended to go for the ball and took a few steps backwards even slower just to be annoying was happy to hear Joan speak up so she wouldn't have to.

Joan-rolling her eyes while looking at Judith, says "Judith can't you go just a little faster already, I mean really I don't think you going in reverse is helping our team play any better, we are getting our asses kicked because of you." "Also I kind of want to not be put on 1st base or something, because you are slacking off in outfield. So stop watching me and get the ball already."

Christy-After silently laughing at hearing Joan say that to Judith, decided to leave the two alone and let them talk all they wanted. After the game, which was surprisingly pretty well matched once both Judith and Joan were taking part somewhat instead of just talking turned out to be pretty fun. After the game Group Luna lined up to go back to their rooms for a little bit, however Joan realized she needed to go to meet this Dr. Dan therapist instead.

Joan-walked with the group but once close to Dr. Dan's office said "Amy, I'm going to therapy now, I guess I'll be gone till lunch"

Amy-"Yeah, Joan, I hope you like Dr. Dan he is a great therapist."

Joan-After leaving the group and seeing Judith shake her head and pretend to put her finger down her throat when Amy talked about Dr. Dan being great, she had to wonder who to believe more. Well for now Joan thought I guess I will just have to make my own decision, and ask Judith later why Dr. Dan isn't a good therapist.

Joan-slightly nervous knocks on the door, even though it is open and sees a man in his early 40's and has an almost bald head, and is watching Joan's every move as she enters.

Dr. Dan- politely says, "Come on in Joan, I have been looking forward to meeting you." "Please Joan, take a seat and make yourself comfortable." "So Joan tell me a little about you?"

Joan-Not used to being asked such an open ended question by a therapist before hesitantly says "What would you like to know?"

Dr. Dan-Shrugs and says, "Whatever you feel is important for me to know right now."

Joan-"Ok, I guess." "My name is Joan Girrardi, I'm 16 years old, just completed my sophomore year of high school at Arcadia High. I have an older brother Kevin who is in a wheel chair from a drunken driving incident, and Younger Brother Luke who is into Science, and I have a mom who is an artist and works at my school, and my dad is a great cop." "Wait… what is with the tape recorder?" "Are you going to be taping all my sessions?"

Dr. Dan-"Yes, Joan, I will be taping all your sessions, but I can promise you no one will ever listen to the tapes besides me" "Why does the fact I'm taping you make you nervous or something?"

Joan-"If I say yes would you stop taping me?"

Dr. Dan-"Actually no, but I would apologize for hearing it bothers you" "But Please Joan, I would like you to answer a little about why you are in my office right now?"

Joan-"Well it said on my schedule to come see you now." "I was sent to the camp for having lyme disease and am on medications for it which seem to be working at the moment."

Dr. Dan-"What makes you think the meds are working?"

Joan-"Well I haven't seen any hallucinations in a few days, and last night I had no nightmares and slept great."

Dr. Dan-"Well I'm glad to hear your nightmares have stopped and the same with your hallucinations." "However, I'm really curious to learn about your hallucinations, what can you tell me you thought you were seeing?"

Joan-Thought yeap, I knew this question would come up. Exhaling Joan decided to give Dr. Dan a few facts but defiantly not the whole story and says, "Well, I was seeing different people who would sometimes ask me to do things."

Dr Dan-"What did these people look like?" "And what kind of things were they asking you to do?"

Joan-"well the people varied a lot, and sometimes would change right in front of me to another form, or even disappear from sight after talking to me with a backwards wave"

Dr. Dan-"What varied looks did these people have again?" "I would like you to elaborate some on them for me?"

Joan-"Well they looked like normal people, a young girl in a dorkie misfit outfit with an antenna headband. Another looks like a teenager boy with a brown corduroy jacket and cute smile, and another has spiked black hair and a lot of piercings." "Honestly there are a few more looks but really I was serious when I said they varied a lot."

Dr. Dan-"So ok what did these people tell you to do exactly?"

Joan-"Usually good things like, try harder in school, get to know this person better, join this activity, help out here for a while." "And other stuff like that?"

Dr. Dan-Holds up Joan's intake survey and say "Joan do you remember filling this form out?"

Joan-Forgot about the form, and even worse didn't think about the impacts as much as she should have when writing things down yesterday and simple said "Yes, I filled that out upon coming here yesterday."

Dr. Dan-"Good I'm glad you remember filling it out" "So on this form you said you hallucinated seeing God." "So when you say you see people-this brown corduroy jacket teenager lets say, do you think he is a normal teenager? Or do you think he is God?"

Joan-"I thought he was both actually." "However now I think he is was a hallucination too."

Dr. Dan-"So how can something be both God and a normal teenager boy?" "Enlighten me because I'm am kind of confused at the moment."

Joan-"Well I have seen this boy in the form of God, but other times I see the same boy as a real boy who goes to my school-like in real life he is a wrestler and is pretty popular." "He never takes on both forms at the same time but he defiantly can be either form."

Dr. Dan-looking a little lost stares at Joan and asks, "Ok so if he is in the God form is this when he asks you to do missions, or tasks or whatever?"

Joan-"Hmmmmmm Yes I guess"

Dr. Dan-"You guess or you know?"

Joan-"Right now I'm not one hundred percent confident about anything" "How is that for being honest and not guessing?"

Dr. Dan-"Very good answer actually Joan, however in order for you to get better, you will need to stop seeing hallucination in any form" "I have never heard of a normal person talking and seeing God and I have complete faith you won't be my first."

Joan-"Well a lot of people pray to God all the time, maybe I'm praying, and he is responding to my prayers"

Dr. Dan-"Praying is one thing Joan, going on missions makes you sound like the next Joan of Arc" "And I don't know how well you know your history Joan but this Joan of Arc got burned at the stake for talking to God." "What do you think about that?"

Joan-"Well I know a lot about Joan of Arc. Probable more than you do actually. "Because first off Joan was burnt for wearing men's clothing, and it was almost entirely a political battle, and very little of her burning had to do with her talking to God. Joan of Arc was framed by the English because she was winning battles for France, and putting King Charles on the thrown didn't make her very popular in England either because well they wanted their person on the thrown instead."

Dr. Dan-"Ok maybe not the best example in its entirety however, do you feel you and Joan of Arc have many things in common?" "I mean you seem to know a lot about her."

Joan-"Well we have a few things in common I guess; we both were wrongly accused and often have to do things the hard way" "We both claim to be on missions from God" "Oh and we both are willing to stand up for what we want"

Dr. Dan-"So is it fair to say you may view Joan of Arc as someone you would look up to, or a role model of some sort?"

Joan-"Well she is a Saint; many people look up to Joan of Arc. So sure I would say yes I am one of the people who admire some of her qualities"

Dr. Dan-"Ok well what do you say if I say maybe you think you are talking to God because you admire Joan of Arc. And feel by also talking to God you are more special than other people in the world or on the same level as someone like Joan of Arc?"

Joan-"I wouldn't say the same level; I don't think levels is the correct way to explain our talking to God Similarities."

Dr. Dan-"Go on Joan"

Joan-"I feel neither me or Joan of Arc had a choice in being originally chosen to help God on missions, we were just in the right place at the right time and open to the idea, and I guess that is why God decided to use us."

Dr. Dan-"So why would God choose you Joan and then why would God give you lyme disease if you are his chosen one?"

Joan-"Why did Joan of Arc have to burn on the stake?" "Maybe this is just a way to test my faith or something?" "Or maybe God has a bigger idea in mind?" "Maybe I am supposed to help someone at this camp?" "I really don't know as God hasn't spoken to me since I collapsed on the ground in front of my high school."

Dr. Dan-"Ok so why do you think God stopped talking to you?"

Joan-"I don't know, probable because I was just hallucinating him in the first place."

Dr. Dan-"Well I think here is a good place to stop for today as your time is almost up"

"Joan, I would really like you to journal on your views of your hallucinations while you are here, also if you ever see a God, or other hallucinations I need to know-Ok?" "As we very well may have to adjust your meds if you start seeing things again."

Joan-"Yeah Ok"

Dr. Dan-"Good well it was a pleasure meeting you; I look forward to seeing you again in a few days, take care"

Joan-says "ok" and walks toward the door still not sure what she thinks of Dr. Dan as he seems to be very anti-God or else he is very Anti-me seeing God. However Joan thinks well I guess if he is the Doctor I should consider what he has to say. Joans mind drifts as she walks toward the cafeteria and sees both Judith and Virginia already sitting down eating some chicken rings and fries, and goes to get her own chicken rings and fries then goes to sit down at her typical table.

Judith-"Sometimes I think, cafeterias have only one form of chicken." "That is why we always seem to have Chicken Breasts the first time they serve chicken" Then the Next time it is Chicken Rings like we see here" Yet lastly not knowing what to do with the inside of the Chicken Ring they make the Chicken Nugget"

Virginia-"HA HA, Ok then what about chicken fingers?"

Judith-"Well those are hand battered meaning literally human fingers covered in batter." "No chicken is in them at all"

Joan-"That is just gross"

Judith-"Ah don't worry they don't serve chicken fingers here so you are safe for now Joan" "So Joan, I'm curious how is Dr. Dan doing these days?" "What do you think of him?" "That balding head and beer belly make you like the guy, or is it his loving and caring personality?"

Joan-"I don't really know what to think of Dr. Dan yet?" "He seems very Anti-God, I gathered that much" "Also, he likes to try to twist my words around, and ask me the same questions a million different ways"

Virginia-"Well Joan, some people say all learning is-is learning something you already know in a new way" "Basically if you think about something you think you know and someone questions you long enough either you will go more crazy or less crazy." "That's how I view the whole therapy concept anyways."

Joan-"I have no desire to go crazier, so whatever path leads to sanity is the path I want to be on."

Judith-"Oh come on Joan normal people are boring." "I think a little chaos, and crazy attributes in people makes them better people, not worse."

Joan-getting of sick of debating, and hearing the word crazy all the time says, "Can we please just talk about something real for once"

Judith-"Everything is Real Here Joan" hitting her hand on the table says, "Real table, Real food, Real people" "Are you saying you are seeing something I'm not Joan?"

Joan-"No, I'm not hallucinating at the moment if that is what you are asking me!" realizing Joan was starting to sound crazy says, "Ok lets talk about something that can actually be answered, and not just debated till the end of time."

Virginia-"Alright then so how did it feel today to be kicked by team Echo today in Kickball?"

Joan-"You totally didn't win, nobody won, it was a game, it was fun"

Virginia-"That's just bull crap thinking, I kept score, and my team won by one run."

Judith-"You know Virginia I don't care if your team won by a million runs, because well I had more fun then you while playing, so in my beliefs my team and I are the real winners."

Virginia-"Alright and the attempt at a real conversation with a definite real answer has turned into another debate." "I guess it don't matter anyways because well Lunch is over" "See you guys later."

Amy-"Group Luna will you please join me over here for art and crafts, thank you"

Judith-Sarcastically while getting up says, "What no stupid ice breaker this time, I don't know where I will ever stand in the line now?"

Joan-"Duh you will just have to stand next to me then."

Once Group Luna is lined up ready to go they all march to Arts and Crafts.

Joan-Once inside the building Joan was shocked to see so many different art forms around the room. Joan noticed drawings, paintings, sculptures, dream catchers, pottery, jewelry, leather work items on display, and then something really caught her eye. At first the last item she couldn't tell what it was but when she turned her head to side said shocked "Wow that is a lamp"

Judith-laughing "Very good it is a Lamp" "Now that you have shed some light on that mystery maybe you can pass Arts and Crafts with a smiley face sticker on your journal"

Amy- "Alright here in Art's and Crafts the first week or so me and Christy are going to help you try out all the different forms of art's and crafts we allow you to make here" "After you have made all the required various topics and items you can make whatever you want."

Christy-"Yes and today I had you all bring your journals because we are just going to work on drawing" "So I would like you all to draw me 3 pictures." "First I want you to draw a picture of your family, and label everyone you put in it." "Second, I want you to draw one of your happiest memories you have ever had and put a caption on it to describe the memory." "Last, I want you to draw one of your saddest moments in life and also write a caption." "Ok colored pencils, crayons, and markers can be found here, please return what ever you use at the end of the session"

Joan goes and grabs a hand full of colored pencils from the front of the room and sits down besides Judith, and takes out her blank journal notebook.

Judith- quickly draws a stick figure of herself, mom, and dad in the middle of her first sheet of paper, and is about to start the happy and sad drawings when she looks over to see Joan actually trying to draw something decent. Judith said "Wow, Joan you seem to be trying really hard at this, I didn't picture as the artsy type."

Joan-Shrugged off Judith's statement and said, "Well why not try?" "It isn't like we don't have plenty of time to draw something good we are here for an hour" "Also, I have never been really good at Art, but both my Boyfriend Adam, and Mom are excellent at it" "If I could learn to be good or at least better at Art this summer, who knows maybe it could bring me closer to my boyfriend and mom and let me see their work with more meaning when I go home."

Judith-After tearing out her first drawing she did of the stick figures and throwing it on the floor, Judith decides ahh why not I can draw something better, I am actually really good at art when I try. After about 40 minutes of intense drawing on Judith part she looks over at Joan's work to see a picture of her family with 2 brothers and a mom and dad. Judith laughed and had to ask, "Why is one of your brothers in a science lab coat? And really what is with the other one being in that funky chair?"

Joan- "Wow, I am happy you could figure it out, I was unsure about the lab coat being obvious enough." Pointing at her drawing she tells Judith, "This is my dorkie brother Luke he is only a year younger than me and he is wearing a lab coat because he is totally into science and dreams of going to M.I.T. for college" "and well my other brother is a few years older than me and named Kevin."

Judith-"And you drew him in a lounge chair reading the newspaper because?"

Joan-"Well the newspaper is because he works and writes for the one back home" Joan then wonders how much she cares to cover about the chair aspect says, "And well actually it isn't a funky lounge chair Kevin is sitting in, my brother was in a drunk driving accident a few years ago and is now has no feeling from the waist down he is in a wheel chair now for life."

Judith-now totally taken aback by learning Joan's brother being in a drunk driving accident and paralyzed from the waist down tries to quickly change the subject as it makes her uncomfortable to hear of such things at the moment. "Well good drawing, I like it; here you want to see mine?"

Judith-"I am not a huge fan of my parents so I didn't take much time to draw them with their hobbies and what not" "Yet, I think I told you they are both psychologists right?"

Joan-"Yeah" "So what else did you draw?"

Judith-"Well this one I think is my favorite and is in the happy moment category." " I couldn't really think what was the happiest moment of my life so I drew me running really slow to get the ball today while playing Kickball" "See, and there is you Joan in the back ground yelling at me to move faster."

Joan-"HA HA I like it, and is that Virginia running the bases getting the winning home run?"

Judith-"Well with a little more detail of a blue line in her hair it could be" and Judith added some details to make the picture even better.

Joan-"For my happy drawing I drew a four things because I couldn't pick just one" "So in the top corner I drew me and my boyfriend sitting on top of the roof of the school while skipping lunch to look at this picture I made of the 2 of us" "Then the next one I drew a picture of me and my brother Kevin going to the drive through to get milk shakes." "Oh and this one here is me and my friend Grace sharing our first sandwich at lunch." "And the last one is just me and my whole family sitting down to eat homemade lasagna for a family dinner."

Judith-thought wow Joan is really close to her family and friends at home, I wonder what my life would have been like if I was close to people at home?

Joan-"Hey, Earth to Judith what do you think?"

Judith-"I think you are hungry, all your pictures revolve around food in some aspect."

"See first you are skipping lunch, then drinking milk shakes, or sharing a sandwich, and last a family lasagna night." "If I was your psychologist right now I would stick you in the food obsessed obese girls category for that picture"

Joan-"Funny, however, you are right I am eating in all of them, I didn't even think of that."

Joan-"Says oh and here is the sad one" "It is me in the hospital bed a few days ago, right after learning I hallucinate things because of lyme diesese." "This sad boy is my Boyfriend Adam, after I tried to tell him I see things, and he didn't believe me."

Judith-"Wow, Adam boy didn't believe you?" "That seems weird, how could he not believe you were hallucinating because you have lyme diesese?" "It is like a common side effect to lyme disease and all."

Joan-Scared she might have given away too much at the time says, "Well I guess I was still out of it, and I said it kind of fishy or weird or something?" "Either way it was really sad for me to think my boyfriend wouldn't believe me, as we have a pretty trusting relationship."….. "So what is your Sad Photo?"

Judith-"Oh I drew, well maybe I will show you later." "It is kind of something I don't feel like sharing yet-no offense."

However Joan, being pretty quick grabs the picture out of Judith's hands to get a peak thinking she was just joking with her about not letting her see it now.

Joan- Looks and sees a picture of a flipped over SUV and a few other symbols she didn't get a chance to look at very closely to decipher a meaning too….But as soon as she was looking at the drawing Judith whipped it right back out of Joan's hands.

Judith-"Hey I was serious when I said I didn't want you to see that yet?"

Joan-"Ah Ok, However promise me you will explain it later"

Judith-realizing she wouldn't have a choice in the matter says "Sure" but really thought if I didn't have to in circle there is no way I would share this story with Joan. However, I also thought Crap my mom's impact letter would have to be read out loud in a few days.

Amy-"Alright, I know some of you still have to go to therapy sessions now, so will everyone line up so we can go out the field for alone time, and if you if you didn't go to therapy this morning you will be going now."

Everyone lined up, and walked outside to fairly open field with a few big shady trees. There was a beautiful view of the lake down the hill, and you could see some mountains in the distance. Joan realized Judith must have gone to therapy along with Vickie as they were no longer with the group.

Amy-"Alright everyone, you can grab a butt pad here, and then I want you all to spread out and find a place of your own." "I don't want to see anyone any closer than 30 feet away from each other." "While you sit in alone time there is no talking what so ever." "This time is used for you to explore who you are, you can work on your workbook questions, sit and think quietly, journal freely about what your psychologist wants to see, or draw." "I don't have any letter paper yet, but in a few day's that will be an available option as well." "Great everyone now spread out and find a comfy place all to yourself."

Joan-goes to lean against a tree, and while sitting on the roots, pulls out her workbook to work on it for a while. Looking at question 3 again she thinks man 20 things I'm good at, I have to be good at something.

Joan-thinking, I still need to come up with another 9 items; all I really want to do is work on my number 11 category at the moment. Joan then realizes wow I don't think I have ever sat so long in one place before; I can't believe I have to just sit her all afternoon. Joan starts to day dream and then doodle in her notebook, however suddenly stops dead on everything as she looks up to see an old lady who looks familiar by the office door in distance.

Joan-"O.M.G I'm seeing God again, this isn't good at all" "Crap" Joan then decides to take Dr. Dan's advice and write the in her journal about her hallucinations.

Joan's Journal-

June 18th

I just saw an old lady that I have often associated with being God before in one of the her/him looks. I feel scared, and confused. However, as I looked up and she caught my eyes she just smiled and waved and walked away. I wanted to follower soooo bad, I wanted to know if I could still talk to her. I haven't talked to her in so long I realized I missed the relationship we used to have. Yet I stayed put like I was supposed to in the field during alone time instead of rushing over. I knew she was gone, for now. Yet, although it scares me to see God knowing it is a hallucination, I often feel comfortable at the same time seeing her again. She has such a warm happy look to her, and yet snippy too. Wait I take that back God is not snippy. God actually told me that one time in the book store where I work she was not snippy. Yeah, I'm just really confused right now, I can't write anymore at the moment.

Joan-closed her notebook, and thought maybe I should tell someone I just saw God? Then she thought better of the idea and decided against it. Sighing, Joan then lend against the tree again lost in her thoughts…

Amy-"Alright, Everyone it is time to line up for flags, and then dinner."

Joan-still didn't see Judith, but realized Vickie was back, and well everyone else was present in the line to go to flags.

Amy-"Has anyone seen Judith?"
