Dear Diary, Hmm... I can't wait to go back to school. Which is very strange. But this week has been stressful and terrible. Once I get back to school. I'll get distracted again and forget about boys and my future and everything else that went wrong. Sometimes I don't like being a girl. I've been so emotional lately... I keep almost crying when reading books, watching movies... even listening to music. I don't know. Everything makes me sad... Or angry. Which is probably why I'm still grounded. Sigh. My aunt died on Friday. I haven't seen her since I was six or so. They live in Virgina. But I saw my cousin... probably a year ago. She's a little younger than me, and I feel so bad... My aunt has been sick for almost as long as I can remember... My mom flew out last night to be with her brother. My dad leaves on a business trip tomorrow, and then he'll go to the funeral on Wednesday. I was really excited for this vacation break... but maybe sometimes it's better to be completely immersed in school or whatever. There's no time for anything else. No time for thought. Love, Lisa Ann
