Hi. Today we saw a program on drugs. It was really good.

Today I started watching Gone With The Wind.

It got COLD. I have to go to bed.

Good night!

February 26, 1987

Hi. Today Rochelle and I went to mutual for a service project. Linda said we have to wash all of the silver in the kitchen or wash all of the toys in the nursery. Then she said the real reason we are here is to have a victory party! It was fun.

Wednesday I woke up in the morning. I didn't want to go to school because first period I had a big paper due that wasn't finished, second period I had a chapter review due, and it wasn't done. In third period I was supposed bring all this junk for lab, and I didn't have anything to put it in so I was going to get an F. In fourth period I had a BIG math assignment to do. In fifth period I had singing tests. In sixth period I had to turn in my math, and seventh and eighths were ok.

Ok, it turned out that I got my assignment done for first period. In second I found out it wasn't due until Friday. In third, my lab partner brought most of it. We borrowed people's extras, and got it done. In fourth, I just barely got it done. In fifth I got an A on my singing test. In sixth I got my math turned in ok.

Now for the BAD news. Some of the boys at our school, mainly Johnny Pike, Mindy's heart throb, and some other boys got caught with drugs. Mindy was so depressed about Johnny.

I have to go to bed now.

P.S. I just fixed the pictures on my dresser. Oh boy!

Today in choir we took singing tests. I volunteered to go first and I got an A!!! Yea!!!

I have to go to bed.

February 12, 1987

Hi. I had to wait to write in this journal to finish my other one.

In school we get a mid-winter break so we get tomorrow Friday the 13th and Monday the 16th off. Yea!

Tomorrow Kate Frond is going to spend the night. Will Vincent is spending the night with Michael. Today I got 3 new pictures of Corey Hart and two of Tom Cruise.

I like about one or two million guys, but they are all too old for me, but I don't care. I still like them.

Today I had home-ec club. I'm so tired. This is my third journal. My first one isn't even almost finished, my second one I finished yesterday, and my third one is soon to be finished. I LOVE to write and put pictures and things in my journal.

See you tomorrow.

Your self,
Steph Day

February 11, 1987

Hi. It's only about 6:42 AM. I have to leave for school in about 20 minutes. I decided I'd write now so that tonight I can finish my journal. I'll write later. Bye.

Hie. I'm back. It's 8:54 PM. School was okay. My first period teacher is so scatterbrained. Her name is Mrs. Carter. She always forgets what she's saying in the middle of a sentence.

My second period teacher Mr. Parker doesn't talk much. He just shows us film strips and we work in workbooks EVERYDAY.

Third period I have Mrs. Hamil. She is sweet. Forth period I have Mr. Riley. He looks exactly like a leprechaun and he always wears green. We call him Mr. O' Riley, but he doesn't know.

Fifth period I have the dreaded Mrs. Ray. She is always getting everyone in trouble. Sixth period I have Mr . Davis. He is nice and smart. We hardly ever talk about Math (I have him for math). Seventh period I have Mrs. Holt. She is really nice. And last but not least, I have Mr. West for art. I hardly know him. He's hardly ever at school.

I've had this journal for about 6 months and 26 days and about 3 hours.

Last goodbye, from this journal at least,

Stephanie Day

I got my wagon finished.

I didn't write because I forgot because I was up until 11:30 babysitting my brothers.

Guess what. Yesterday when I walked into Mr. Parker's room, I didn't know who the sub would be. I was the first one there. The sub looked up. It was Bro. Fuller--Mary's dad! He was good and he subbed for Mr. Parker again today, too.

It's finally Friday of my perfect weekend. To top it off, Monday I can be glad to go back to school because Melinda had pictures of Corey Hart for me.

We went to the Cub Scout banquet today. We had spaghetti and garlic bread. My breath smells awful.

My journal is almost full, so I'm getting a new one soon, maybe tomorrow.

In Art, I finished my dot art picture. I hope I get a good grade on it.

Well, I have to go, so see you tomorrow.

Hi again. I'm almost done with my wagon. I have one more wheel to do, then put them on and I'm done.

Rochelle came to mutual tonight. It was fun. We made Valentine tarts. They were good.

It's just perfect. I get my allowance on Friday and I don't have to do anything over the weekend.

It's been so boring. There's nothing to write in here. Nothing's new in school. Just the same old thing, except we now have an A and a B lunch, but that's big news, huh.

Gym is fun. We are playing volley ball. I'm awful at it, but I'm probably the only one who has fun.

This is a stupid song. I'm listening to "Night Light Love Songs" on WENS.

We might move to Houston, Texas. If we do, I'll die. I don't want to move. I'd have to leave all my friends, there's no winters and winter is much better than summer. On the bright side, we could get a better house and we would be close to the Gulf of Mexico. Mom said, "Just think, you won't get off for snow days, you'll get off for hurricanes." Great, huh. I DON'T WANT TO MOVE!

I have to go to bed. Good night.

Your self,
Steph

Hi. Tomorrow I get to finish my wagon in Shop before school. Wish me luck.

School is GREAT since I don't have Mr. Gilman anymore. A warm front came in and it's getting almost up to 40 degrees. It will be so warm. It's almost 10:00 PM so I have to go. Bye.

January 19, 1987

Guess what, we had school today. Even Plainfield was out and they hardly ever have snow days. It's cold--or rather FREEZING!

Today when Jessica was leaving school, Mrs. Carter walked by and said, "Mornin' Jess." And school was over and everyone was leaving.

Bye.

January 15, 1987

Hi. Today in Science we started dissecting a GIANT grasshopper. I almost got sick. Tomorrow we have to slit its stomach and find things inside of it.

Mindy came over and we watched part of Rocky.

Of course, GREAT NEWS: ONLY ONE MORE DAY OF MR. GILMAN!

Monday I switch 3 classes:
1.) English
2. ) History
3. )*Science
4.) Study Hall
5.) Choir
6.) Math
7.)*Gym
8.)*Art

I'm having Mary spend the night so I can write longer because she reads her scriptures for 10 minutes.

So wish me luck on my last day of science, Health and Shop.

Bye.

January 13, 1987

Guess what happened with Tony. He didn't say much because Michael forgot to tell him. Oh, well. He'll find out eventually.

Today was singing tests. I actually got a B+. I was happy. On my Science folder I got an A, and on my science book report, I also got an A. I have to do 50 push-ups and then go to bed. Sorry I couldn't write much. Bye.

January 12, 1987

Hi. Today was a good day. I had a good day at school, and after school the missionaries came for dinner, then I set 4 Personal Progress goals, and I got my health articles cut out and they aren't due for 2 more days.

Michael is going to tell Tony I like him. I hope Tony doesn't ask me to go with him, because I would probably say no and hurt his feelings AGAIN.

There isn't much to say but today was a good day. I'm getting over Ralph Macchio and starting to like real boys.

Oh! Before I forget, guess what! Only 4 more days of Mr. Gilman's class, and next on to gym. I can't wait to have no more Health class to worry about! But, there are also only 4 more days of Shop. Boo! I'm reading The Outsiders again.

I'll let you know what happens with Tony tomorrow. See you later. I have to go before I get in trouble. Bye.

January 11, 1987

Hi, Sorry I haven't written in so long. I told Michael that I like Tony and I told him to tell Tony that I like him. I have to finish reading a book for Science tonight. Bye.

December 11, 1986

Hi. Today is a great day. Tammy, Sis. Vincent, Craig, Kendra, Chris and I went to help at the stake Christmas dinner. My mom was in charge of it.

Mr. Gilman was not at school today!!! Rejoice!!!

Craig is so funny. He is nice.

Today in 1st period, Mrs. Carter gave me back my theme. I got an A and she wants to read it to the class.

I have to go. Bye.

December 9, 1986

Yesterday was a boring day. Today I fell asleep in History. Today was boring. I can't wait until Christmas.

I love my secret sister!

December 1, 1986

Today we saw the movie Hoosiers. It was good.

Grandma has to leave tomorrow. It will be sad.

I have to do an English paper. Good bye.

November 29, 1986

Yesterday was Tempest's surprise party. It was OK. Shannon was talking to someone and she said, "I framed it," and Tempest's little sister yelled across the room, "You're pregnant?!"

I don't want to go back to school Monday.

My mom got my choir outfit done today.

I'm tired. We stayed up until 4:30 and got up at 9:30. So night. Bye.

November 26, 1986

Today we started our tape cases in Wood Shop. I got more of my rocket done in Science and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Grandma Ferris is coming tomorrow. It will be fun.

I STILL like Tony Matthews. I probably won't be able to write for a few days. Oh yea! I have a surprise slumber party for Tempest the day after tomorrow! Yea! Bye!

November 19, 1986

Today I fixed my bulliton board so instead of just Ralph there is Becky, Justin, Mary, Ralph, Abby, Paula, Amanda, Debbie, Rochelle, Mindy, Jenny, Walt, Tony S. and another one of Mary, my calander, ribbon and my pin from camp.

Today in science Dwight and Carrie were arguing and Dwight burst out laughing. Mr. Harris asked what was going on and Dwight said, "Carrie said Hitler was the first to launch a rocket, Hitler was from Russia wasn't he?" It was so funny!

I'm tired so I can't write for long.

In Walt's spelling book it says, "Mary built a _____ of a car." You are supposed to put "model" in the blank, but it looks funny.

Have I told you about Mindy's sleepover? It happened in 6th grade. Mindy had a slumber party and invited Wren, Jenny, me and her. Her little sister had about 12 people over. They were younger than us by about two years. Anyway at about midnight, we decided to scare the younger girls. We went out of our room. We were scared to death as it was. Mindy was in front. Wren was holding on to her. Jenny was holding on to her and I was holding on to all of them.

Emma Martin was standing in her sleep. She was wearing a bright white night gown. She was standing over a heat vent and her dress was glowing and waving and it looked like she was floating because you couldn't see her feet. Everyone started to scream. I looked at Emma and fainted!

November 18, 1986

Hi, What's up? Nothing much here. I had to write a talk for Sunday. Yuck, I hate talks! Oh well, I'm stuck with it.

Oh!!! Glory of Love!!! OOOH!!!! Oh my gosh!!!

I'm okay. I haven't heard this song much lately. Hold on. I want to listen to this, no, I'll write while I'm listening.

like a night...long time ago..castle far away..we did it all for the glory of love.

I'm back. I still think I'm crazy for liking Tony Matthews, but I can't help it. I can't really! Ok?! ok.

Yesterday we watched the show Alf. It was SO stupid. I was thinking you must have bad or terrible taste or be pretty dumb to like that show. The next day in Health, Mr. Gilman (who I can't stand) was talking about TV and he said "Alf is my favorite show. He's so funny!" I started laughing.

Today was boring. Tony Matthews? yea. Bye!
