Dear Diary - Day 1

Dear Diary,

Wow, this is a little strange. I've never actually had a diary before, but Mom says that it will hope so I guess I may as well try it. So I just write to you like you're a person hm? I can do that I guess. Well if I'm going to do that I guess I should give some information about myself.
My name is Katrina, but most people call me either Kat or Trina. I'm seventeen years old and like other people my age, am attending highschool. Oh fun...highschool. Well I guess it would be fun for somebody who's popular. Oh well, since I'm a sophomore I only have two years left after this one. I can't wait. Hopefully the people in college will be much friendlier.

Wow, this doesn't actually feel insanely awkward. I mean, talking to a book and all. It is a lot easier than talking to people, although today was pretty calm, being a Saturday and all. No school for the weekend after all. Let's see, I guess I'll write about what happened today.

Got to sleep in a bit this morning, which felt nice. I slept really well last night, must have been exhasted (I blame the homework, which I always finish on Friday evening lol....Is it weird to write 'lol' in a diary? Umm...oh well it IS my diary after all, if I want to use text speak sometimes I guess it's not too strange. Now then, where was I? ...Oh!)

So after I woke up I made myself two eggs, sunny side up (yum!) and some toast with jelly. Had some orange juice to drink too. Then I watched as Dad got ready for work and left. I can't imagine having work on the weekends, but at least he doesn't have as many hours to on Saturday, and he only works a few hours on Sunday.

Well after Dad left, I sat and watched some television for awhile while Mom was in their room. Afterwards she came out and asked me to help tidy the house. I didn't mind it. I like doing things with my mom, even if it is cleaning, lol. After we finished tidying, she asked if I wanted to go to the store with her. Well of course I did! I love going out with my parents, it sure beats sitting around waiting for a good television show to come on.

So we left for the store and did some grocery shopping, then she had to pick up some minor things for around the house, like a new bottle of dish soap, some more laundry detergent. Then to my surprise she went down a book isle, not for a new reading book for her (my mom loves to read) but instead she grabbed a diary. I was confused at first about why she'd want a diary, but she said she was getting it for me. She told me she'd like me to write in it everyday, whether I had a good day or a bad day, and that it would help if I had a bad day. So I told her I'd give it a try.

After buying our stuff and heading home, she promised that if I was good this week, and kept up with my diary, then she'd take us out for ice cream. Oh boy, am I excited. Getting ice cream for doing basically what I'm doing now? Joy! That probably doesn't seem like much, but our ice cream palor has the BEST around! I'm almost drooling thinking about it.

Not much happened after we got home, we made some sandwhiches for lunch and hung out while waiting for Dad to come home, then we had supper, it was tacos tonight, and it was so good~ After that I sat with them to watch television before heading upstairs to my bedroom at about 9 which is where I am now. Writing in you before bed. I really love the weekends. Today was great and I'm glad to have you to talk to.

Thanks, Diary.
