Just so you know, this is a diary not a journal. I clearly told my mum not to get something that says diary on the front but she didn't listen. I'm going back to middle school soon as it's the winter break. That means I have to see and hear a bunch of morons once again. I'm the only cool one there. I think my best friend Rowley is not ready yet though. He rides on a pink bike and uses two straps on a bag but I don't just want to dump him. Anyway, I wish there was a way to get away from school. I've been thinking hard about it but the problem is that I don't want Rodrick picking on me about it. Like if I say I want to be a hairdresser (which I don't) he'll tease me. Now I am going to try and convince my mum and dad that video games are good for you but I don't think it would work.
