January 6, 1996 (Fifth Grade – I am ten years old)
I slept on my ears tonight and it didn’t hurt. I have to twist them, put Anti-germ stuff and alcohol on when I wake up and when I go to bed. I can barely feel it and I sware* it doesn’t hurt at all. The only reason you can feel it is because you have the sense of feel. I’m in fifth grade and I have liked the exact same guy since third grade. TRIPP S**. He has blond hair and blue eyes. He always wears double shirts, and he is very athletic and cute. I don’t know if he still likes Meghan.*** But I sure hope not. I guess the only reason he doesn’t like me is because I’m not as cool as Meghan. In third grade a really strange thing happened to me. We were both in the same class an on the same bus. Before we left in the afternoon Mrs. Heyde would make us answer math questions. Tripp was ahead of me in line so when he got off, he and his friend, Nick, waited. When I got off he said, “We can go now,” and Nick, Tripp, and I walked down the halls together. I really think that he is cute. And just to tell you, I’m still in fifth grade and I think I have a great class. If I could have any married name it would be S_____****. When I grow up, I want 2 boys, and 2 girls named Cloey, Alexandra, Mickey, and Richard

** This is a real person. very dreamy. I have left off his last name so that when a future employer googles him, he will not read my blog. I don’t want employers reading my blog.
***Also a real person. And very nice.
**** Tripp’s last name.

I am beginning to think that incident with Tripp never happened. Maybe it was just a dream, but I don’t know. Now I have decided what I am going to be when I grow up – a primatoligist.* A primatologist is someone that studies the primates. Primates are a group of animals that include humans and chimps. I think that this would be a great job.
*primatologist – Think Jane Goodall.
