school in book 1

i studied a lot this week. my journal is fuller this month, and my pencils are already getting dull. i wonder if my sharpener is giving out on me. i'm not too suprised, since i've had it for a while. but it's still disappointing, because it's a good one. its purple and plastic. it used to have a battery, and it would spin itself for me. but it doesn't work anymore, no matter how many times i shove a new battery into its compartment. my journal from last year is already falling apart, and some pages ripped out. i salvaged it and decided to just write everything from that notebook down into my new one. if i try hard enough, i'll succeed,,
