01/05/04: I had a great week in school. I was able to get caught up some missing assignments and get my grades back up to A’s. I had a few missing assignments because I was gone for a sports event and I was unable to complete the assignments before I left. Next time I will ask see if my teachers can get the assignments to me two days before I leave. I only asked them one day ahead of time and that was not enough.

My brother and I drove around to find a place to eat breakfast. It took us awhile to find a place that severed breakfast then close to the mall we found a Mickey D’s and ate there in the car.
