Microsoft Word is up and running after 2 MONTHS. I feel dumb. All I really needed was the product key, which was in a drawer. In my room….

I don't know why, but I've had a recent obsession with Holes. I've always liked the book and the movie ever since we read and watched it in 6th grade, but all the sudden I'm obsessed. Especially with the story of Kate and Sam. It's so sad and gets to me every time! I know Kate's diary has been done several times and isn't very creative at this point, but I just couldn't resist!

Well I'm sure you're all looking at the screen like this: O_O

And I'm finally done with my foolish ranting, so you can read the story now.

Dear Sweet Journal,

Linda, a student of mine brought me this journal today, said she wanted me to have it. I feel like a child again myself, sitting in my bedroom and writing in my diary that only I would ever see. Considering this is my first entry, I suppose I should introduce myself.

My name is Katherine Anne Barlow. I'm twenty two years old. I live in a small town in Texas called Green Lake. Some say it's heaven on earth. They may be right. I'm a schoolteacher, a job that I adore. I enjoy teaching children and adults alike. Many adults here never had the opportunity to learn to read or write as children like I did, growing up in a city like Dallas.

It is almost 7:30, therefore time for me to prepare for night class. I often wonder if the men come to learn or are hoping for something else.

Well? Love it? Hate it? Really wanna punch me in the face right now? Talk to me! I promise I won't rant like this on every chapter!
