Dear Journal,

Nita insisted that I write with her so I guess I have to write in this stupid old thing… as soon as January gets here, I can stop, Aunt Yolanda said so.

I hate writing…

School's the same as always—boring and busy—I'm really glad to be on break… Nita just finished and wants to bake biscuits.

Eustacia.
