Katherine’s 7th Grade Diary: Two Introductions

“This is a remarkable book. Written by a young girl- and the young are not afraid of telling the truth.”

- Eleanor Roosevelt, in regards to another famous diary.

When I was in seventh grade I kept a diary and I recently reread it. Boy, did it not disappoint! I found it to be hilarious and full of big dreams and even bigger emotions! Since, I found it to be funny I decided to share it with you all. Hopefully you’ll also find it funny and get a glimpse into my thoughts. In this series I’ll include my diary entries, doodles, some texts, some emails, school work, and etcetera. I also am including a scan of the actual page and the typed text just in case my handwriting is difficult to read. I changed names (unless permission was granted or they’re famous) and will redact some parts as deemed necessary. Hopefully, I’ll add some commentary too. So, without further ado these are the first two entries of my seventh grade diary.

Entry 1

Dear 18 yr old Katherine,

Hi, it’s 12 yr old me! This book contains stuff like stories, Jake, contacts, Jake, other things, and my favorite Jake Michaels! I bet your cleaning things out for college? The Broncos are playing tomorrow! I hope Jake is your boyfriend! More importantly I hope you made it to the 2016 Summer Olympics in speed swimming! Bye!

Entry 2

I decided to turn this into a diary. Why? I thought it was funny. Also when your 30 you can laugh insanely. This is gonna be fun!

I don’t know what to right (write) about.

School:

Math: Finished quiz, problems

Social Studies (S.S.) Activity on how important things are

Lunch/Recess Swung with Margot and told her about the Missy Franklin letter

Spanish

Literacy

Science 4.3 review,

Commentary

I particularly like the first entry. I have incredible expectations for myself. Not only do I hope my middle school crush, Jake Michaels, is my boyfriend six years later, but I hope I’m a swimmer in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately, I didn’t achieve either goal.

In the second entry I appreciate that I added another introduction since it had been 10 days after the first. I also have no clue what I am writing about on the right side of the page. I talk about Missy Franklin and I write the word military. I don’t know what happened. However, I’m proud to announce that I know the difference between the words ‘right’ and ‘write’.

God Bless

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out. We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Things I've Found on the Ground

Family and friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It has been a while since I've published a blog post, but after audience interest in the rekindling of the blog here I am at the 11th hour to ensure a numerical year doesn't go by without a post. I guess I've been gone because I've been busy or less inspired…I don't know. Anyways, for the past two years (and some months) I’ve taken pictures of things I find on the ground, some of them are amusing, so I’ve decided to share some and write little stories for each. So, please enjoy a small collection of photos and commentary of things I’ve found on the ground. Making Love in a Hopeless Place Where: Walmart Parking Lot When: December What: An Open Condom Wrapper Can anyone imagine a more romantic place to cement your love than a Walmart parking lot. I surely can't. Forget fireworks you have the rustle of your grocery bags in the back seat. Meanwhile the cold midnight air wafts in through your cracked windows a...
