Our home room class got a new class mascot! It's a banana slug, and we named him Gunther. Well, a couple of kids wanted to name him Ol' Carl "Tarantula" McDurkee, but Mrs. Cameron stepped in.

They're holding try-outs for the school play next week. They're doing Death of the Warrior Tribe. Mackenzie Gallegos is gonna be playing Princess Brianna'findel, so if I got to be Kayden'ellas I'd get to kiss her! Last time I tried out for a play, though, I had to be the stupid Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, so it's probably not worth the gamble.

I just got a new pet kitten! I named it Mrs. Cutesworth. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and rake him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure.
