We had to write a book report for school, so I did mine on issue 10 of Sergeant Brock Black. It's my favorite one coz it's the first appearance of The Indefatigable Turtles. Mrs. Valencia said that wasn't appropriate material for a book report and gave me a D. She's just jealous coz all the books she has to read are really boring! I bet she's never even heard of The Unfathomable Pope!

I just started an afterschool swimming program. Every other day, we do the breaststroke for at least a half an hour. I don't mind it much, except I wish we'd do it in a pool, not a swamp. Though I guess the vicious swamp bears are good motivation to swim fast! I've already lost 1.5 candygrams! Not sure how much that is in whatever weight unit you guys use.

I just got a new pet rat! I named it 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.
