Dear diary,
What an awful day! I’m really upset and angry about the thing that happened to me. I don’t know where to begin! I was bored to death during my reading lesson so I started drawing into my book. Miss Grace noticed me (of course) and ordered me to stand up and read aloud. As I didn’t follow the lesson I had no idea what to read. That made my teacher mad and she hit me with a cane so I bit her. My reaction drew her up the wall and she wanted me to stand in the corner. I started kicking the desks so she grabbed my arms and dragged me out of the class. That was not fair! I didn’t disturb the stupid lesson. I just wanted to draw! What on earth is wrong with that?
