Monday 12th September, 2:30pm, algebra

And yet another boring lesson, can this day get any worse? Hang on, I've said that before and the results weren't too pleasing. Well you know what's coming, don't you? OK OK you don't now, so I'll tell you. This afternoon, before algebra I had another french lesson and the subject about our exchange pupils cropped up again. My teacher seems to think that this is gonna be the most exciting thing most of us will ever face in our lifetime. Boy, if this is meant to be the most interesting thing in my life, what the hell is my destiny like! I am seriously in for a bad time here, and looking at my watch, I only have another 80 FLAMING YEARS LEFT OF MY LIFE!!! My God, how am I going to cope. This compass is starting to look real friendly......

Monday 12th Spetember, 4:30pm, my room

OK OK OK so I didn't actually use the compass as a suicidal aid, though I was very tempted to. Is it illegal to murder yourself? How can it be? I mean, if you're like, dead, how can they put you in jail?? Hmmm, must make a mental note to ask my history teacher that question. Anyhow, I recieved some more information about dazey Maizy in french today. You know that letter I had to write to her? Well she sent one to me before I had even given mine into school for them to post. Talk about eager. It also turns out that I was wrong about people in Quebec not speaking american. She apparently is fluent in the language and has no problems with it whatsoever. I on the other hand am determined to prove my point that all people from Quebec are french idiots (no offence) that think their culture is better than ours. I managed to prove this point when it came to looking at the grammar and wording of the letter. Take a look:

Dear Pozey (I told her my name was Paige!! And she can't even spell Posey right!)

My name is Maizy Angelique Woods and I am 10 years of age. I am situated in the north of Quebec, located in Canada. My pastimes include white water rafting, playing solitaire (though backgammon is my favourite) and reading many of the novels imposed by french literature. I am very much looking forward to my visit to your country and hope that you will welcome me wholesomely. As an extra, could you please have some novels ready for me to indulge in? Thankyou dearly,

Yours Truly

Maizy Woods

Oh. My. God. She sounds like someone out of some Shakespearean play! Look at her language! I mean come on, who says the word 'wholesomely' for crying out loud. No Paige, bad Paige! You must be nice to the poor girl! I suppose I'll have to make some sort of effort, though I don't think she'll grow on me too well. Never mind, there's always the rest of my life to look forward to....

Friday September 16th, 9:34pm, the lounge

Ah ha! Found it! Sorry I haven't written for a while, you see I kinda lost my diary and have only just found it today. Mum must have tidied it away when she came in to vacuum my room on Monday. Well, seeing as I've been without you for 4 whole days, I amazingly have very little to say. Apart from the fact that Alicia has organised her birthday party. God that is going to be one event I think I'd rather not be at. I mean, she's inviting everyone, including Meredith!! Lord help me! What am I going to do? I can't go can I? I know, I'll plan to be ill on that day. No I can't do that, I'm meant to be Alicia's best friend. I can't just not turn up to her birthday party! Anyway, I didn't tell you what she was doing for her party (or partay as she has christened it). She's hired the local outdoor pool (in September!! It's so cold at the moment!) and she want's everybody to go in Hawaiian dress. In other words, she wants us all to go in bikinis and sarongs and the guys to go in their Speedos so she can gape at them. God, I sure do not have the body for a bikini, and I certainly do not want to see all the guys at CES wearing tight swimming trunks! I mean, ewww! Well anyhow, on Saturday, God just realised that's tomorrow, we have to go to Manhattan Street Outdoor Swimming Pool at 7:30pm. She says we can bring food if we want, might take along a can of cocktail sausages if I can be bothered, and as I said before, to wear Hawaiian dress. That means digging out my ancient pink flowery bikini then! But the thing that's worrying me most is that Meredith and crew will be there. I won't be able to do anything without them commenting on me! Not that it's ever any different from that anyway. They'll laugh at my pasty legs, my stick arms, the fact that I've got no stomach (you see, I always thought that having a flat stomach was a good thing, but when your Meredith (a size 14 I happen to know) and your stomach isn't that flat, anyone that does have a flat stomach is thought of as stupid. It's only cos she wants to be better than everyone else, and she always has to find something to pick on me about). So yeah, that's the reason why I don't want to go, because all the 'cool' people will be there. Alicia also said we can bring music if we like, this means all night we'll be sat by the pool in the dark listening to some crappy dance music drinking Barcardi Breezers, getting drunk and vomiting all over the sidewalk. Nice. Why Alicia? WHY!??!?!

Just a quick note to say that the above description is once again of the popular people. You wouldn't catch me getting in that state!

Saturday 17th September, 7:20, my room

Just realised that I should really be getting ready for Alicia's party now. Suppose all I have to do is slip on a bikini and a pair of flip flops then I'm ready to go. Dad says he'll come pick me up at 11:00pm, and Mum says 'be a good girl, don't do anything...stupid'. God you know what that means don't you? My Mum reckons I'm gonna be getting off with some guy. Ewww!!! She obviously hasn't seen the boys at CES, then again that new guy is quite cute, he's called Chad, but I won't go into that right now! Oo, my Mum's calling me, I got to go, will update after the party!

Sunday September 18th, 12:22am, my bed

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. That was the most embarrassing party I have ever been to in my whole entire life. To start with, I arrived late and so when I got there everyone was already settled down into their little cliques so I just kinda wandered around a bit until I found Alicia. As I was walking upto her however I slipped right by the pool edge and, you guessed it, I fell right in. Head first. I can't believe it. Not only that, as I was falling I grabbed the nearest object to slow me down, which happened to be Pierre's trunks, (you know, Meredith's boyfriend) right in the, erm, private area, causing him to fall in the pool on top of me. Oh my God how embarrassing. As you can see I didn't get off to a great start, and all night Meredith was accusing me of trying to get off with her boyfriend! As if I'd ever want to get together with Pierre! Then, as if things could get worse, I ate something funny and ended up throwing up on the pool side (what did I tell you!) and when 11:00 came and the party was just getting started, my Dad appeared. He actually walked into the pool area and started eyeing up some of the girls!!! My God I could've died (that compass is starting to look friendly again!). Then he called across the pool something like 'Posey darling, time to go home now'. I hate parents! Infact, I hate everybody and everything! God, please tell me what I did in my past life to deserve this punishment! From now on I promise to be good and holy and all the rest of it just so I can avoid another life like this! I hate karma!! More later, need sleep.

A/N just a small update, I think I'll just keep adding in small bits as it's easier. Hope you don't mind! R&R!
