Untitled Part 24

6/28/1802

    I was too caught up with writing the letter to think about how James knew her address. Has he had to ship packages to her home? That's probably why.

    I've sent the letter. I do want to be friends with her, because I have very few friends. It gets lonely.

    Construction is finally finished. Finally, I'm free from the hell that is sitting outside watching people build. I can rest...

    After a bit of wearing glasses, you forget they're on your face. It's funny. You also develop the habit of pushing them up, even when you aren't wearing them. I've hit myself in the face a few times already.

    I received a letter from Tabby (I did remember her name! Well, her nickname, at least.) in the mail today. I've never been so excited to read a letter before.

6/30/1802

    I forgot about the reconstruction of the school. That starts soon. I'm not ready, please just let me sleep. I'm a tired young man with emotional problems, I don't want to deal with this anymore.

7/1/1802

    Today begins a new month. It also furthers the process of temperatures rising to 100 degrees or over. I hate living here. I'll move to Colford, to have the climate of Numia but without my mother anywhere near me.
