This is not at all what I thought going to school would be like. I hope I am still able to keep up, but it is proving to be quite challenging. I also don't have much time for studying, now that I've started to babysit... Not my first choice of occupation, but I'm too young to be hired at the pet shop, apparently. I... don't like children. At least, not these ones. But more about them later, right now it is time for me to shake off the fetters of my working life!
So I haven't had time to see Plum lately- I see him now and then in class, of course, but I'm usually trying to hard to grasp the lessons that I don't talk to him much at all. I'm thinking he might like to take a look at this book I've been writing. I know that I shouldn't be writing like this, but I can't help it! I'm just not coping well with systematic learning, one might say. Anyway, it's called About 30 or So Chapters of Very Little Romance or Incident Concerning the Life and Times of a Young School Girl Having Gone Away to School for the First Time. In fact, I only have 2 chapters written, so it's a little presumptuous, I know, but I must think big! |

I just moved in- which means I set my carpet bag down in my room. This task accomplished I at once went into town to do some exploring. I intend to stay in the dorms only so long as Emily is gone, since I am sure that Papa will not be able to afford board for both of us. For this reason, also, I set about finding a job. I still do not have a job. But I will have one, Yes, I will- I will!
I saw some cute puppies at the pet shop. Maybe they need someone to make sure the puppies aren't snatched by the giant birds of prey that are also at this pet shop. I never knew being in a town could be so interesting! Anyway, I was speaking of puppies. Which have nothing to do with how I met a new friend today. I was confused, and muttering to myself about something when I heard other mutterings- about people named Bubba.
His name is Plum, and he doesn't seem at all scary and never threatened me once! He's also in some of my classes. I hope we can be friends. He didn't notice me at first, but that's no surprise.
And now, a meme borrowed from a friend:
A - Age you got your first kiss: *tear* ...
B - Band listening to right now: The Raging Rochesters *RAWK!*
C - Crush: C.S. Lewis *sh*
D - Dad's middle name: Peter... I think.
E - Easiest person to talk to: Emily. Charlotte puts on such airs as the eldest sometimes.
F - Favorite bands at the moment: Raging Rochesters, and The Clerkes of Oxenford.
G - Gummy worms or gummy bears?: Gummy Bears.
H - Hometown: Haworth.
I - Instruments: Piano.
J - Junior High: Eupheme
K - Kids: None.
L - Longest car ride ever: From Haworth Parsonage to the train station at Ludd-what-s-it-s-name (Branwell used to work there. He'll be so mad that I forgot.)
M - Mom's middle name: I don't know. Died before I could ask! :(
N - Nicknames: Her Most Dreadful Highness, Queen Annie of Supreme Power and Muffinry! *twiddles fingers menancingly* Or just 'Annie'.

Journal,
Things are moving so quickly! And what news... Emily has run away from school with a 'Neddy Lawrence'. In fact, they've gone time travelling. And I have a class schedule! yay!
8:10-9:00 Painting
9:10-10:00 CLM
10:10-11:00 Social Studies
11:00-11:40 (Lunch)
11:40-12:30 French
12:40-1:30 Math
1:40-2:30 Chemistry
Maybe now people around here will begin to notice me- I mean, no... that was a bad thing to say. I really should be more humble. After all, I crave attention!!! what other people think of me isn't important. I know that what people see does not define me, and that is good enough. Still, being skipped ahead a few years in school is REALLY COOL.
Branwell didn't take it kindly. He banged his head against the wall a few times and then ran out onto the moors- via the sitting room window.
Again.
Hm. Did I mention Emily has gone time travelling? Oh yes, I did.

Well, this is most astonishing! For months now papa has been replying to my constant, though gentle of course, hints at how much I would like to join Charlotte and Emily at school in the negative. And what do you think? I could hardly believe it- but today, as I brought him his paper, he set it down rather abruptly and told me that he has been thinking over the situation.
This can mean only one thing, of course! I have only taken the time to disburden my brain of this giddying excitement, and then I intend to write to my sisters to tell them all! Where Papa is to get the money, I do not know. It is worrisome, yet, perhaps I will be able to defray the costs by some means. Tabby, I know, would be able to take care of Papa well enough- yet I worry about this too. I worry a lot, really. Especially…
Papa will be alone here with Branny and Tabby. This cannot be a good thing. Perhaps I should ask him to let me stay after all…
Papa has just stuck his head in at the door and told me that his mind is made up. How did he know?! He is always doing this. Oh, perhaps I am reading under my breath as I write. Yes, I see that I am. Oh bother!
In any case, I really must write to Charlotte and Emily- right now!
*squee!*
I didn't write that. |
