We had to take a physical fitness test in school today. It sucked! I had to run laps until I felt like my vascular system was going to explode, and then I couldn't do any pull-ups and Coach Steadwick called me a nerd. I'll bet he's just mad that he didn't make the Quidditch team when he was in school, the jerk.

They're holding try-outs for the school play next week. They're doing Rise of the Barbarian Goblins. Addison Stafford is gonna be playing Princess Serenity'ras, so if I got to be Carter'born I'd get to kiss her! Last time I tried out for a play, though, I had to be the stupid hamster, so it's probably not worth the gamble.

I just got a new pet banana slug! I named it Mr. Fuzzy. Mom says I can keep him if I look after him and wax 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.
