Diary Entry for Nov 5 & 6, 1973

Diary Entry for Nov. 5, 1973

Got up. Wore a new outfit to school that I got Friday Saturday. Went to school. Got my homework that was due 1st hour done on the bus. In science for my word today I had to say acetylsalacylic acid. That is aspirin. Mr. Watson kept talking about how quiet I was. Randy Scott tried to get Mr. Watson to move me up right behind him. Mr. Watson would not do it. Randy said that he would teach me to talk. I had trouble with the zipper on my pants. Miss Westerhide in speech excused me from class because I could not keep them zipped up. Went to get Dino’s picture taken this afternoon. He is 3 months today. It seems like he should be older than that. Went out for pizza tonight. Watched a movie called “your, mine and ours”.

The entry for November 6, the following day.

Got up. Today is Kathy Jackson’s birthday. That is my stepsister. Went to school. It sure is getting cold outside. Didn’t learn much today. During fourth hour, Randy spoke to me. It is beginning to become a regular habit with him. I want to get one thing straight. I don’t like Randy. I just talk about him a lot because he is so popular. This guy named Rick Sharp talked to us at lunch. He kept putting m&m’s down my shirt. I didn’t like it but I couldn’t stop it. I had to make up a play in speech. She picked them all up and handed them back out. I got a real dumb one. Mom made this deal where I take care of the baby all afternoon while she is at school. And she pays me $7.00 per month. He is a lot of work.
