It's been a long time… too long. I'm so sorry!
But all the other chapters are finished and just need editing. I hope you enjoy this one:)
Chapter 3: So far, so good… Maybe…
Here I am, mom! Paying for my own weight with my own money!
It really isn't so hard…
Work turned into an interesting learning experience when I had to do extra cleaning in the new meeting room! And it's all just fun exercise, too!
The tent I bought at the bargain sale is very sturdy, except for that time when it was almost blown away in the storm… But that was when I learnt something new: wind currents can be different at different heights.
But I wouldn't have minded to sleep under the stars then, too! The forest around me is just so beautiful! Sure, the minor bugs and strange bear-like noises in the bushes can be slightly distracting… but it's nothing I can't cope with!
I'll never give up!
I'll never be taken down by small setbacks!
Fight on!

I suddenly feel guilty. I know I deserve this but I didn't expect it to be this much…
Uo-chan and Hana-chan don't know about the tent but I can't have them worry over me!
I just told them everything was fine in Grandpa's house when they asked, but I didn't say anything else. So did I actually lie? I'm so guilty so I guess I did…
But it was for the better, wasn't it?
Does it hurt more to see them smile from a lie… or cry from the truth?
