Today we leave. 1 hr. in a car, 2 hrs. waiting in an airport, and 4 hrs. on a plane. I will not miss Florida. No dolphins, stressful deadlines, and fattening foods. I hope I never come back.

I'll miss my new friends. Kate, Jeff (I developed a crush on Jeff, too late now. Kate liked him too), Elmo (Joanna), Heather, Mr. Chatterbox (I never learned his name), Sasha + Kasi our counselors. But I can't wait to see my old friends.

Still nothing to do. It's snowing hard and sticking. I'm thinking about BOY and only BOY.

Well, actually I'm listening to the tape Christina Ferrie and I made last year. I also found the "Bonjour" shirt that she gave me. I love that shirt. It's awesome. I kinda miss Christina. We still say hi every now and then. I knew this was going to happen. Because we didn't have any classes together. It's weird. At the beginning of this book we were best friends. Now I guess GIRL is.

I guess Masquers is the biggest effect on my 9th grade year. I got in the play. I met BOY, Ben, Shannon, Ryan Thomas, Jason Skinner, Lesley Yoder, Brad and all them. Masquers is my biggest social activity this year. Toronto was the best. I miss it. I hope BOY and I can go next year.

This time last year I was just becoming friends with Christina, and on my way to Florida.
