Tuesday

Hi. We are going to Tab Leighton's house today. For piano lessons. All of us. I have no idea how it's going to work out, but probably everyone will stay outside for a while.
I did my last history test, my module 16 science test, and my quarter final test for science yesterday. We ate lunch, and I asked mom to drop me off at the post office, because I got a letter form Donna Ingalls, my old friend who moved to NY, asking me for the books I borrowed back. (2 Jurassic park books.) Well, she had sent $20.00 with her letter to pay for the shipping of her books, and I had asked Leah to put it in my wallet for me. She said, "k, sure, but i have to pick up these beads, so I'll put it in my pocket for now." I said, "OK." later, at the post office, I got her books all packaged up, and I reached into my wallet for the money, but it wasn't there. I then realized, that Leah must still have it in her pocket at the beach. I asked the lady at the counter to please wait 20 minutes while I walk to the beach, get the money, and come back her to pay for it. She said, OK. So I walk to the beach, praying Leah didn't change her shorts before the went to the beach. But she did. So I'm having hysterics, and mom just gives me $10.00 to pay for it. (The bill was $8.24) So I walked back to the post office with the money and paid for it. Then I walked back to the beach, and went swimming, telling mom I'll pay her back later. There were a few highschoolers around, but only 2 were brave enough to go in the water. I just ran right in and dove underwater. It had never felt better. It was so lovely, I wanted to just stay there forever.


Yesterday we saw some sunfish mating, or something. I'm not sure. But I think in my science book, it said that the female lays her eggs, then the male comes along to fertilize them. I think the ones you always see guarding the nest are the male ones.I got a video of them, but I don't think I can put it on here. I'll try.
