Weekend

Hi Ma,

Sorry I haven't written for a few days. I don't have any good reasons. Can I just tell you that before I graduate from high school I want to get a manicure and pedicure? Everybody else always goes, and I want to also.

Dani switched to a different dance class, and I went to watch today. It was fun - it made me want to take dance again. Alex watched too and they let her go in the back. She did really well.

Alex has been in a bad mood (I blame it on our lack of beds) lately and keeps asking me if we can do something fun. But when I ask "like what?" she doesn't know. The sucky thing is everything that's fun requires either a car, money, an adult, or time and we don't have any of those. The only thing I came up with is going to the library in the city tomorrow, but Alex said that's not special enough. Tomorrow I'm going to call the Stanley Cup people and ask if we can dog-sit for the day. I think Alex would really, really like that. And we would take really good care of the dog.

I'm not in a good mood either. Bad moods are contagious. I did six hours and fifteen minutes of SAT studying today Ma. That's like a full day of school on a Saturday. That did nothing to put me in a better mood. I don't feel any smarter. You would have liked studying my flashcards with me. You would have gotten so excited at finding things you didn't know before and at realizing how much I know. I miss you a lot today.

Love,
Sam
