Guess I missed quite a lot during this week , how's life going ^^ ? It's already a month since I been sent to the camp , I always feel weird having a life without holding paintbrush , I felt kind of afraid ... also itchy . Now the camp training is over , that mean I have chosen the next place I have to be in the rest of this year . And the place I chosen is ... okay I guess ^^; , I'm happy that I chose this place but also things don't change quite much . I chose the local prison which near my home , it only needs about 20 mins to my house by driving a car ,this make me really happy ,because I can still see my family in the weekend ,also I don't need to spend extra time to understand my surrounding :D . But our work is pretty dangerous , also give me pressure when I think of it        -_____- , the job is what most prison guard do: "guard the prisoners from escaping the prison"  , we have to overlook them in everyplace ,the kitchen ,the factory ,also when they need to see the hospital . We also equip baton and iron chain while entering the prison ,hope I never gonna use them *~* .

The prison life is pretty ... different . I have to say I have learn a lot of something I would never gonna learn . The situation in the prison isn't that extreme like what we think of . It's actually like a "school" , every morning the prison get up of bed and enter the classroom to start their daily routine . They have limits amount of money to use everyday , they can buy soda ,candy or even cigarette .Sometime their family send them novel ,breads ,fruits ,newspaper . And most of the prisoners have lived in the prison for a long time ,they already become friend with the officer ,though the rule said we can't ,but I think it's hard to not become friend with them while you have to watch them 365 days a year xP . I already work at the prison for a week , though I still can't draw at this moment , but it's such an unexpected experience see the other society behind the wall . When I look at some of the prisoners , I wonder how they end up being here ,they speak ,they laugh ,just like us , but the law forced them to pay the debt of what they done wrong . I also feel bad while we checking their personal item (we have to check if they hide any drug or weapon) , I find out the letters which describing their accusation , Most of them still have many year to stay , they probably still have 3~20 years  ... which I can't even imagine how much time just wasted in this boring place *_____* .

Anyway ,that's my experience of me working at the prison , it's not fun or exciting ,instead it's shocking and unforgiving . I learn a very available lesson from here , which is a good thing . 

As for drawing , now I need some time to recover my memory , I really lost the feeling of drawing with imagination ,I guess I have taught too much stupid army order >____< . I'm thinking if I can do some short comic in the future ,which the story would be base on "the pillow world" ,I kind of abandon the story for quite a while ,I still need more to learn to work on a long story , so I think the short comic would base on some small incident , which is easy to be think of :) . At last ,hope everyone have a wonderful day ,and Happy Chinese New Year !
