Hey! It just turned ’79! I’ve been waiting a long time to write in here! We just had a party. Even though this is a five-year diary, I’m going to use it as a one-year diary because I only wanted a one-year diary but the one-year diaries they had weren’t pretty. So all of this page is just one day, not five. I write small so I can fit everything I need to on this page. Today I learned how to ride Mary’s ten-speed bike! It’s fun! Well, I’m going back to the party so see you later!

I’m really sorry I’ve forgotten to write! Today I don’t have anything to do after school! Alright!! I’ll write later. Bye! Today I ate lunch in Mrs. Jones’ room. Tammy has fifty-seven animals! But that’s because she has a lot of horses and cows. I only have two cats.
