[music: Black Box Recorder: The Facts of Life]

Today was fine. Not exceptional or anything though. Periodically through out the day I would realize that's it is Thursday, and I'm not sure why I am so excited about it, other than tomorrow is Friday and then Saturday. Tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day and Saturday will be awesome. Anyway, each time I remembered that it would go something like this:
"Wow today's Thursday!!! That's amazing/fascinating/extraordinary!!!"
Then the same thing would be repeated later in the day. It was quite odd.

It's a lot better to walk down the hallways grinning like an idiot rather than being sullen, so now I'm the grinning idiot. I'm happy!

On the number 4 bus home tonight I got to talk to Vanessa, and then we walked home together. We used to spend so much time together before I went into Jr. High. It's kind of a shame that we don't see each other much anymore because she lives a block away and we are quite similar. It was great to talk to her.

When I cam home I started reading on my bed and then I fell asleep and no one woke me up until now, so I didn't end up going to the Extravaganza. It's kind of sad but I have a social test tomorrow and I should probably fix all the rest of my homework. It was so nice to have a nap though.

I'm still happy!
