Don't Know Who To Trust

Well, normal day I guess. Sept’ for before school. I went to see Becky
at the front of the school and only Carly ,Sarah and other people were there
so I hung around trying not to look obvious. They are talking about all these
weird jokes they bought. Examples: Fart candy, pepper gum etc. I thought
they had just bought them because they were neat, but then along comes
Becky. I run up to her and say hi because Lauren was there. Then we approach
the group.
“Hi Becky, look at these cool jokes we got to play on Justine!”

Becky laughs. Justine? Now I know that Justine found a note Becky had wrote
about her and read it and now they were going to ditch her but this was a
little far. I didn’t think ditching her was a good idea because her parent are
divorced and so are mine and I thought I had been ditched by the group once
so I knew what it felt like. So I am going to be her friend now even though I still say
things like, “Did you see what Justine did?” Well, G2G.

First Day At Irving

Dear Journal,

It’s the Monday of the first day of school. I’m at Irving now. My teachers think I’m bad. I’m not bad I just keep doing something wrong because its all so new. I met Vanessa; she’s a nice girl. I walk to grandma’s after school and my mom drives me to school.

Seventeen Magazine

Dear Journal,
I am discontinuing my subscription to Seventeen. Its just too old for me. I wanted something more “my age” so I picked up a Girls Life. I love it!

I can’t sleep so I’m writing. Probably because its so hot!

There is another pet show at the Children’s Museum.

The Fredins Leave

Dear Journal,

The Fredins are finally leaving tomorrow. I don’t like how Christine hovers around you for awhile and then asks, “what are you doing?” and then you tell her what you are doing and she will keep following you around and you’re just like, GET OFF MY BACK!

I really want to work at the zoo! I may get to work at the petting zoo!

The Fredins Visit

Dear Journal,

The Fredins came today at 1:00. Mickey said that they got started a little after five AM but their original plans were to get started at four AM! She said they got started late because the girls did not want to wake up. Well I wouldn’t want to get up either!

We went to their hotel and swam for about four hours! We ate dinner with them at the hotel (sloppy joes) then we went to PetCo, which is really close, and go the kittens some food. One person was buying a hooded male baby rat (how cute!). When they left the other little boy rat looked sad and confused because his friend was gone. I wanted to bring him home so badly!

Adopting The Cats

Dear Journal,

I have so much to tell you! First of all when we went to the humane society they did not only have Cassie (the three-year-old torti) they also had a mixed breed long hair kitten whom no one would be able to resist. But it was on hold.

Then we went to Forney Animal Clinic (where Lucky goes) because they said they had two kittens that needed adopting. They were both black, one male, one female. The male was so cute and pitiful-looking. Only four weeks. But we did not want a male so we got the female.
The next day we first went to pick up Cassie. When we got there the long-haired kitten was still there so we got her, then went to pick up the other kitten. Now we have two kittens and one cat.

Cassie

WE GOT A CAT! We got it at the humane society. It’s a tortishell.

Birthday Planning

Dear Journal,
Sorry I didn’t write again yesterday. I was really busy! First, of course, we went to Fringe and Tassel. They had some really neat costumes. I’m sorry I can’t write well in the car!

Later…

Dear Journal,
Okay. I left off talking about Fringe and Tassel. It is a really cool shop. My favorite costume was the 20s swing outfits. Natalie’s munchkin costume is cute. We went to The Mill, Salvation Army and an antique shop.

At my Wizard of Oz birthday we will see the play and before we do we will watch the movie with the Pink Floyd CD, which is supposed to go with the movie. I will invite Becky, Abby, Carly, Catlin, T.J., and Michael.

Today we bought a washer and dryer, a sofa (that folds out into a bed and looks like our old one), and a desk. We got a birdie game and some other stuff.

Wizard of Oz

Dear Journal,

I am going to a costumes shop called Fringe and Tassel. Natalie is going to get her munchkin costume and I will meet the guy who will be doing costumes with Becky and I. Did I tell you that I am going to have a Wizard of Oz birthday party? I will tell you what we will do later today.

A First Journal

Dear Journal,

My name is Becca. I am going to junior high next year and am very excited. My goals for next year are to study harder, do better on homework, get involved, be organized, get better grades and have fun.

I do think junior high will be a lot of fun. A new building, people and teachers. It is such a big building! We even get our own, personal lockers! An auditorium and a snack bar with chips and ice-cream!

I hope I will achieve my goals. It is only a week and a day until we get our new house, and two cats! And is our new house I get my own room and we get a dance room. I am always dreaming of school and our house. Even though it is summer vacation I sometimes wish I could go to school now.

Grandma said today, “Well, rats don’t have brains.” I was shocked. Of course rats have brains! Why do you think they squeak? Because a message is sent to their brain to tell them they are hurting. Lucky knows a trick because of brains. Other than squirrels, rats are the smartest rodents.

Tonight Becky is taking me to see a play. It will be very fun I think.
