Dear fouma\ }
first page • • •
what to write 7 to^w • wen, I'm sitting

here on my bed, attempting to digest my mother's t;na noodle

casserole and thinking about -this past week-
it was my first official week in junior high

and it vJas totally cool. Everything went

totally wen-

Urn . .
. okay ... I can't do this What I
just wrote vJas totally bogus. I mean, this
is my om private journal, right 7 so nobody
else \s going to read this, so -there's totally

w reason to be anting but honest And

honestly, this whole pfna high thing is

freaking me out.

I guess the problem \s I'm worrying too much

about not fitting in. What I should be thinking
about is an -the awesome -things ahead of me
at Hiiiridge this year (cool clubs, dances, seuoos^
cute boys). I should be way psyched, not freaking
o^jer whether a not my hair has become a
museum-worthy collection of split ends.

c'mofi, what am I so worried about 7 Whatever happens this year,

good a bad, I know exactly what's opma get me through it—

my
very best friends in the whole entire world. . .

brave, and totally frn -to be w/i+h-

She's also super blunt, but in a

"true friend" kinda vi/ay.

Like, not every friend v^ouid actually pun

you aside and let you know you walked
out of -the girls' room w/i+h +en inches
of -toilet paper s\vck to your platform
shoe (which actually happened my
first official day in junior high—real

smooth, huh?).

Mtranda^ family is from Mexico—and I love eating

fashion, Panda's got s\ammif)

G-ado 's family \s Jewish, and last year at

Hanukkah, he invited me and Miranda o\/dr
to his house fa dinner and we had some
great food (G-ado says he totally OD's or)

-Hoe potato pancakes every year, and I

can see why—they're dee-iish 1
).

At school, (sordo s got really s\ron$ omor\s and } he doesn't care

whe-Hoer -tine oftier kids agree or not. He doesn't like being a part
of what he caws "group thin^,"

past week, I savJ a poster for cheenead.ng -rryouts and
