Dear diary ,

I am now having mixed feelings . When I heard of a saying , something about a man ‘ s happiness is another ‘ s sorrow , I did not believe it ; I should have . My friend Ivy , has managed to shoot five bull ‘ s eyes in the seven shots that she shot . Teacher says she has talent and has decided to send her to a special class to people with talents . I heard teacher muttering something about more talents to fight in wars . I wonder .. ..

Althought I am glad for her , disapointment and sorrow are my only feelings now . I will be ever so lonely in class . I cried for nearly an hour , when I thought of something ! This should only encourage me to train hard as a warrior and be in a special class with Ivy too ! I was really happy after that , but .. .. I knew that I would always forget . The last time when I wanted to learn to fight with my right hand , I had only practised for three days and forgot all about it on the fourth . A timetable was what I decided and here is a copy of it .

Timetable :
Monday – School up to 3pm . Training at 4pm to 5pm . Free time from 5pm to 6pm . Dinner at 6pm . Free time till 8pm . Then have an early rest .

Tuesday – School to 1pm . Training at 2pm to 4 . 30pm . Free time till 6pm . Dinner at 6pm . Practise of fighting with right hand till bedtime ( 9pm ) .

Wednesday – School till 5pm . Free time to 6pm . Story telling time till 8pm . Go to bed for early rest .

Thursday – School up to 3pm . Training at 4pm to 5pm . Free time from 5pm to 6pm . Dinner at 6pm . Free time till 8pm . Then have an early rest . ( Same as Monday )

Firday – School to 2 . 30pm . No training today . Finish up any school work / projects . Then read up about warriors from the past .

For Satuerday and Sunday , I haven ‘ t got it decided yet .

I hope to be able to follow my timetable . In school , something werid happened . A wild pig got loose during our field lesson . Nearly everyone from our class wanted to kill it to prove thier strength ; most probably because Ivy managed to get transfered . The pig looked so pitful that I actually wanted to protect it . In that moment , I forgot my shyness and stepped forward to hug it . Brought it back to it ‘ s home . Not sure what you call it , must remember to check it up later .

I decided to name the pig but still , not sure what to name it . I tried a bit of training , only a bit , that ‘ s why I have so much time to write today , unlike yesterday . I practised whacking a tree todya , till my father came out to teach it to me correctly . I think teacher mentioned a bit of it before . Mother was still busy teaching little brother – Jaydan – a few spells . He like being a mage seeing that he had been a bit weak . Mother was pleased that he wanted to follow in her footsteps . Just as father was for me to follow in his .

It ‘ s getting late now . Nights .
Sleepily ,
