John's Journal (on hold)

Monday

Well, today was try outs for track, but I didn't want to, so I asked if I could be a manager and the coach said yes!! So now I'm happy. For some reason we have four coaches, they usually have three. The coaches are, the usual, Coach Church, the two newbies, Mrs. Brite, and Officer King, and the one year person, Mr. Bumgarner. But any-who, today we heard a rumor that Mrs.Dravin was gonna be retiring, but I'm not sure about that. Yesterday was Joanna's funeral, it was so sad. I couldn't bare myself to write about it yesterday, I was too sad. It was sad. There was not a dry eye in the room. I could barely get up this morning. My mom said I didn't have to go to school today, but I needed the support of my friends and teachers. It was hard for me, but by the end of the day it got better. Today I'm ready to talk about it. I've seen my counselor about it, she said it'll take some time to get over it, but it seems like I'm going to be thinking about this forever. So I can't talk about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more I want to cry. So goodbye.
