I started on my 2nd catechism lesson. I just washed my face and mom and dad don't believe me. I hate that when parents are wrong and they think they are right. And they get mad at you. We didn't have very much homework today. Sorry I'm so messy! I can't think of anything to say. I wonder what my picture is gonna look like? Probably dumb. Celines was pretty. I got one then I lost it. We had volleyball practice today. Everybody was grouchy. Especially Mr. Little and Blah Blah. Gee!
Hoser!
Salut!

Guess what? I am so proud of myself. I made my hobo bag. It looks good. It's blue with white polka-dots. Now I can carry all my stuff in it. My well Celines and my Tri-Kem stuff came in. It's pretty. Gee it cost Blah Blah more to by one of the hobo-bags than it did to make them. I don't know if Blah Blah and Blah Blah could handle all of this responsibilaty that you have in pathfinders. There sure is alot. I'm production manager and I have to get everything ready that were gonna do. Like make posters for it ask people if we can use a certain place.
Take it away!

I don't have very much to say. I went to volleyball practice. Mr. Little worked us out hard today. He made us run like crazy. We got our envelopes (our, papers) for ski school. But some of us didn't get it. I don't know why. If they want to learn how to ski they should teach them it's just like us. Willie is sitting beside me right now. (Being good!). Finally. But not for long. We learned a french song in french today.
So long
