September 29
I woke up three minutes early so that I could write in this. I think I shall do this every morning. I will have to go to bed three minutes early as well, to make up for lost sleep. Tomorrow it will have to be six minutes early, to make up for today.
I have school today, the first time in five days because of a holiday. I am looking forward to learning and serving my country, the great Empire. Today we will continue on our lesson on Alfard's history. It really is interesting to learn about how we grew to be so powerful. I am truly inspired by the mighty people of this land.
I must ready myself for school. I will write more tonight.
September 29, later
School today was very interesting, as I knew it would be. Today we had an entire lesson devoted to how we won a war against the Azhanis. It happened decades ago, when Mintaka was first beginning to industrialize. They wanted our food and machinery, and when we refused to give the supplies to such undeserving people, they revolted and started a war. It was a small war, of course. How could those weaklings hold their ground against us true Imperials? All the Azhanis involved were killed, and not even one of our men or women was injured! I believe that it lasted less than a day. They were foolish to provoke the war.
Schools are such magnificent establishments. And at such a prestigious one, I feel that simply walking into the front gates enriches the mind. I am very fortunate to be able to attend the Imperial school. I have no choice but to pity those who do not.
Speaking of which, I believe there is a boy a few houses away that chooses not to go to school. Instead, he is home schooled by his nurse. How could a lowly nurse compare to our school? I can only hope that she is at least an Imperial nurse, instead of the filthy Azhani ones. That those people are even allowed into the city is unbelievable, such animal-like beings should be kept where they belong. It's bad enough that we have to share an island with them.
I will write more tomorrow, as I must work on my school assignments.
