I'm sixteen now and doing well. I've only given my Master a few gray hairs from, what he calls, foolish stunts, on missions. I'm alive, he's alive, I don't see why he complains about me giving him gray hairs.

He also complains about me losing my lightsaber. I can't help it, it just happens. I'm sure my Master lost his every once in a while when he was a padawan.

I almost won the duel with my Master today. Soon, I believe, that I will surpass him. Maybe I can get knighted early. Of course, I do have to admit that my Master is far ahead of me in some areas, although I won't admit it out loud.

I discovered something on our last mission. We had to rescue a senator's family from hostages and they were being held at a very secure location. My Master came up with this sneakiest plan ever. Well first off, I didn't know my Master could be sneaky except when it came to negotiations. He did mention that he used to play pranks as an initiate. Hmm, I wonder if he could give me some good prank ideas. Hey, I know I'm a little old for this stuff, but its fun.

My Master thinks I'm too reckless sometimes. I don't see how, I mean, just because I get ahead of my Master doesn't mean I'm reckless. All of our missions have been successful so far, despite getting captured, fired at, tortured, explosions, assassins, and even getting chewed out by a Senator.

After that incident with that senator, I think I have a better understanding on why my Master does not like them. I still like them, well, maybe one or two. The Chancellor is great, my Master, of course, thinks the opposite.

Why is it that my Master does not like the Chancellor, but he lets me see him anyway? I know that he knows, he can't hide that from me. Maybe he knows that I won't listen to him on the matter and just argue. However, I have a feeling that the other padawans and knights don't like this. It was just this morning on my way to breakfast when I heard a Master talking to another Master about how I'm getting my way like Xanatos used to.

There's that name again. I need to find out some more about this Xanatos guy. I know that he was Qui-Gon's second padawan and that he left the Order.

I also heard a padawan at a table behind me and my friends make a comment on me having my Master wrapped around my little finger. The nerve!
