[This entry is from my 1976 handwritten diary. On November 23, 2011 I posted this to my blog and I added this bracketed language, the photograph and the hyperlinks. I was in 7th grade when I wrote this journal entry. I typed this post as I wrote it, including the mistakes, so you can see how I wrote back then. Keep in mind this is my private diary, and I’m sure I could have written with fewer errors had I known I would be showing it to the world years later. On March 30, 1976 my family moved from Chicago, Illinois, USA to Amsterdam, Netherlands for about four months. I wrote in my diary frequently during that time, and I plan to post all the entries to this blog. Photo by Moyan Brenn.]
Today was the second day of school. I’m getting used to it. i still just sit there and look like a doumby. I don’t mind to much. I stayed at school for lunch (yesterday I went home) Man!, the lunch period is so long! I, and Andy got so bord.
The American girl is really triing to be my friend, but don’t want to very much. Her name is Andrea. It sounds like a boy but it isn’t.
I know the flash cards the flash cards that Andrea made when she first came to this school by hart. But thats only the first side of them I have to do the other side tomorow.
Andy and I are going to get bikes soon so that we can ride to school because it cost Andy 1 guilder per day and 2 guilders per day for me.
