Classes and the qualities of friends (JE 9th October 1989)

Got up caught bus … Chemistry was good we saw what they use in fireworks. In English we talked about a talk we’re each going to give I decided to do the Niagara Falls (I’m doing mine on Monday). Squash was brill and I’m not the worst. Got home had tea did homework tided room and found stuff for English … Went to bed and sorted things out for English. Read some of mum’s book Great Shape I’m a fast burner, that means I use up more energy than I make by eating etc. and I will stay thin whatever I eat.

3. Like sport
4. Isn’t last
5. I can talk to
