Mary’s Diary

Dear Diary: January 15th, 2021.

I had a date with Peter today and I was really excited, but everything went wrong.
I was having breakfast when my cousin Karl arrived to ask me to help him with his
homework. It was really late when we finish. Then I was taking a shower when my
mom called me, she needed a paper she forgot. I was choosing my clothes when
my dad asked me to wash the dishes. It was already 2 o´clock and I wasn´t ready.
I was driving to my mom´s work when my car broke down. I had to take a taxi and
it was really expensive. Finally I was going to the restaurant when Peter called me
to cancel the date. This was an awful day!!!!
