"Sally, whom did you see at Fox's Pizza last night?" Megan asked after algebra
class.

In honor (sort of) of the holiday: What's the worst kind of labor?

I absolutely despise handwashing dishes. It's a filthy and repulsive chore.
Whenever it is my job to get the dishes clean, they sit there and pile up for
about three months until my mother is sick of the smell and either makes my
sister clean them, or does them herself. I can stomach many shocking images and
situations, but I have never been able to touch someones disgusting,
germ-infested dining utensils, and I don't plan to.

By the time the Fourth of July parade ended, the light drizzle became a downpour, and few people remained on Main Street.

Journal Topic

Should Michael Vick ever be allowed to return to the NFL?

Until today, I had never heard of Michael Vick. After hearing the accusations made against him, I was completely appalled. If it were my decision, Michael Vick would
never be allowed to return to the surface of the ocean, much less the NFL. This
awful, abrasive, puppy-slaughtering, herpes-spreading, drug addicted narcissist
should be **EDITED** for such shocking animal cruelty.
What kind of sick, frigid, sadistic mind would these heartless acts require? This man must be no man at all, but a monster to so easily commit such crimes against
poor, defenseless animals. **EDITED**

In my opinion, Twelve Angry Men is the more powerful play of the two I read last week in English class.

Which city/landmark in the "mainland" U.S. would you most like to visit?

Well, I've always wanted to travel and see everything there is to see in this world.
However, I can't really think of anywhere in the U.S. that I would like to visit. I
mean, I want to someday see California and New York City, etc., but mostly I want to
travel to places outside of the country. I want to visit Canada and see the northern
lights in person, India to see the Taj Mahal, Venice and ride the Gondolas, Greece to
visit the Colosseum, and millions more. I also plan to visit Japan, France, Egypt, and many other places. I want seven jars of water; one from each ocean. There are
many other things I could say about this but I don't think I'll get into that right
now.

Tana loaned me a copy of Computer Facts, the magazine that published the article "Computer Grahics."

Two weeks in: respectfully grade the new principals.

Well, I have not yet seen Mrs. Twigg. However, I spoke to Mr. Saturday over the summer about my Spanish final. He seems very nice. He sometimes seems a little
too cheerful though, which gets a bit annoying really. Overall, I guess the new principals are tolerable.
