| I hope this letter finds you well. (That's a traditional Distant Lands greeting!) Today at school Mrs. Valencia taught us all about sketching a astrolabe. I was pretty awesome at it. They're holding try-outs for the school play next week. They're doing Conquest of the Witch Witch. Addison Stephens is gonna be playing Princess Ainsleigh'dreth, so if I got to be Jayden'ien I'd get to kiss her! Last time I tried out for a play, though, I had to be the stupid Siamese fighting fish, so it's probably not worth the gamble. I just got a new pet banana slug! I named it Woogie. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and clean him every day. She said if I get sick of him, she knows a really nice farm where he can go and live, so there's really no pressure. |
