And now, the first in an ongoing series which is a window into the soul of my younger self…in the form of my 6th grade Classmate Composition Book. My teacher was Mrs. Cornett, my favorite during my time in middle school, and this was my day-to-day journal for the 1989-90 school year. "After School"
September 7, 1989
After school I went to Erik's Deli and I got a bottle of apple juice it was good. Then I went home and took off my shoes! At 5:30pm I went to my piano lesson. I learned to play the cowboy blues and the tarantella I can't wait to play it. After my piano lesson we went to Carpos it was pretty good. When we got home I saw the kooky series Batman it was a good show and I'm going to see it tonight again if I get their [there] on time. Well I can't wait till today so I can have more learning and fun and meet lots of new friends. TiLL tomorrow.

Hello my name is biggy ear, people always are making fun of me and I haven't got and valentines because nobody likes me. The next day he got tons of mail.
Sigh…so, yeah…I was slightly scattered, not the best speller, more than a little bit lonely at times, and overly sensitive about my ears…more to come.
