[This entry is from my 1976 handwritten diary. On November 20, 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 35 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.]
1 more day until school starts for me.
Theres one think I hate to find out. That’s when you find out when your best friends do bad things. I really hate it. It usually bothers me for a long time.
I found out that Oscar and Arnold drink wine. I saw them today in the living room, (with their Mother and father) drinking wine. I told mom about it and it helped chear me up. because I was sad.
We (Oscar, Arnold and there father) went on a trip to there small house, about a 45 min ride by car. We all worked to cut, chop and saw up the trees that fell from a big storm. the boys father had an gas chain saw, and us boys used axes and hatchets.
It was fun, we got dirty. It took most of the day (11:00 til 6:15)
