Note 7

Jira,

Hey guess what! It's the day of the pod race! I can't wait until I win that money for my friends.

I saw Qui-Gon talk to Watto. I wonder why…oh well. Qui-Gon's a little bit strange in the first place, but he's really nice.

I'm trying to clean up my pod right now…just to make sure it's perfect. I wouldn't want anything to happen in the race because of a stupid mistake on my part.

Sebulba came over while I was working on the pod, but I couldn't see him all the time. He better not have messed with my pod. If he did, I'll punch his face in! He's so mean! I hate him! He always cheats too, and he tries to kill other racers. I think he needs to die someday.

My mom, Qui-Gon, and Padmé just came over to talk to me. Qui-Gon said something weird…he told me to concentrate on the moment…to feel, don't think, and to use my instincts. I thought that was weird. That's what I ALWAYS do anyway. Doesn't everyone?

Did I tell you that I'm going to marry Padmé someday? I have this feeling that I'm going to…I'm not sure how I knew; I just did.

I'll always treasure your friendship too.

All right, I'll send you the pod racing program. I've enclosed it, so you can pretend you're at the races, okay? Have you ever been to a pod race before? I keep forgetting to ask you that.

I'm sure I'll win. I have to go right now because the announcers are calling all the racers for the flag ceremony. I'll probably write you again when the race is over.
