I mailed a money order this afternoon for The Crystal City by Orson Scott Card. Mom finally ordered it for me! I can’t wait to get it. I hope it’s nice and long.

My left shin itches.

Mom made me open a graduation gift today. She made me. The woman can’t stand it if she has a present for someone. She’s always more excited than I am. It’s really sweet. Anyway, the gift is a set of scented lotions, body washes, and scrubs along with one of those little scoochy shower poofs.

I have to study for chemistry tonight. We’re supposed to have a test tomorrow. I need to memorize some info in a table in the back of our book. I’ll post it here to help me memorize it. It always helps to write this stuff down.
