Today at school nothing happend [sic] except in P.E. we played Elimination and I won. Then we played Monarch and I was the Monarch. Also at school I was supposed to have a time test and I was supposed to study. But we didn't have it. I was glad. After school I had another rough day at soccer. This time the coach got mad at all of us and we ran laps almost all soccer practic [sic]. It was no fun! When soccer was over my mom and I had dinner. Tomorrow was Craig's birthday so we went out and got him a present and I got a book. Then we whatched [sic] T. V.

Teacher comment: I use to hate to have to run laps during hockey practice.

I love how I never actually come out and say I didn't study for the timed test. Even then, I was careful to remove myself from any blame or self-incrimination ... Show me where it says I didn't study, Teach. Clearly, I knew I was supposed to, I say so right here. And if I knew it, you have to assume I did it, right? I was just glad I didn't have to take your bullshit timed-test.

But it's pretty obvious I didn't study, isn't it? Maybe if I had, I wouldn't have constructed a sentence like "Tomorrow was Craig's birthday."

And speaking of bad sentence construction, shouldn't that be "I used to hate?" Shit, Teach. How you 'spec me to learn nothin'?

I too was guilty of "a nuther" being two words for quite some time.

And what jerk soccer coach is making twee 9 year olds run laps ALL practice? Child abuse!

I forgot to mention: I grew up in a state penitentiary. He wasn't a "coach" he was a "guard." When we weren't at "soccer practice" we sat around smoking and lifting weights. This journal was my sad attempt at making my life seem normal.

This is beautiful. I love the little drawings. What a treasure that you still have this.

Study for a timed test (or any test for that matter)? Really? I avoided studying throughout my academic career and was proud to say it loud and clear.

Perhaps this is why I am an outlying point on every statistical distribution.
