Dear Diary,
Went to Citizenship class. V. promising day start today when discovered pen that was just the right shape. Was most interested person there. Too much walking. Dressy clothes make walking v. hard. Tripped seven times today -- must be record. After going from Band to Mattox's class to Mr. Kurtz's lab room ... was v. annoyed untill he taught class. Told Cheyne it was v. bad class. In respond he said, "I'm sure they'll be fine." Only five seconds afterwards they make trouble. Told him so.
Ashley C. acting all superior as usual. Thinks she's so smart just because mother is nurse... Oops broke pen. Took notes on Cheyne's life. V. interesting. Might write a biography, have enough information. It was just like "The Green Mile" ... only 2 hours shorter. V. sad little man. He went to school nearly as bad as ours and his father has girlfriend before him. He has my pity.
He says what's on board is gone forever. Little does he know! I copied it down. Go Me!
Cheyne also asked what some rights for being a citizen of the United States are. Got to answer first. Am v. proud. Answered "Voting." Did not get to say "Right to own a business." Was V. disappointed. He hummed Jeopardy theme. In the words of Cheyne "Be scared. Be very ascared." He also got the words destruction and instruction confused. And he has a friend named Quincy.
V. interesting subject even if already knew it. He explains it well. Most people said freedom was right to whatever you want when you want. There have to be limits. Of course I could never explain that but still.... He said, "Freedom is a very dangerous thing. In a while it will prevent you from doing what you want to do. People take freedom for granite and don't think about it." Was very good point. Quite sad that I was only one who cared... I doubt they'll like politics as much as I. As I go down the rows I think to myself, "Can I take your order." "Welcome to Walmart." "Thank you K-mart shoppers." "Here doggie, doggie, doggie." "Welcome to Good Burger, CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER?"
In class all we have to do is think. Told mother would make for boring class as can think perfectly well unlike other students.
Began penny game. V. annoying. Have continued to try and figure out game and still am getting nowhere. All know is 5 and 9 make you win. Will spend rest of night and day figuring out if needed. He lost once by mistake. Girls came in. Typical. And he said "Live long and Prosper." Watches pumped on MTV. "Love that tattoo what'd he say? Pumped on MTV... um that's great..." Chris cannot think. He ... tries? But no. No luck.
Someone told me Cheyne's silly jokes would get him killed. Told them would be all right as Mr. Cheyne is far too hot too die. Somehow do not think that was right thing to say. Also said would kill them if they tried something.
Hope they try something.
