Diary: First days at boarding school

Dear diary today is my first day, on the boarding school.

I said bye to my parents, and found the room that I’m going to stay in. My roommate is called Jonathan, he’s 9 years old, and seems really nice. The school leader gave us our uniforms, and I like it. My mom also gave me a “tuck box” with cookies, and lots of goodies for some days. Jonathan and I have also made our beds ready for the night, and I remembered to bring teddy bear. Our teachers name is Jon, and he’s 42-43 years old I think. Around 7 pm are we eating dinner, and 8 pm are we going to bed.

3. Nov. 1997. Day 2

Dear diary, I woke up 8 Am, and had my first lesson together with Jonathan it was English. Jonathan and I walked over to some guys after the lessons was done, and began to talk with them. One of them is 8, and his name is Jacob. I talked a lot with Jacob about home, and where he was from and stuff. We played together, and became best friends today. Jacob told me that his birthday was tomorrow, and I said that I would try something special for him. I knew what to give him because Jonathan told me that Jacob had problems with sleeping, because Jacob is missing his mom.
