Secret Thoughts of Modern Art

What an incredibly lucky day

Dear Dairy...
Today was a very special day for me! I don’t know how I will think about it in a year, but today I feel great.
So, in the morning I ate my favorite food, it is milk with cornflakes, I also drank a big hot chocolate for breakfast and I was very happy.

I thought it couldn’t get any better but when I got on the school bus, I saw my old friend from kindergarten. Her name is Lilly. I hadn’t seen her for 5 years I think. And I actually miss her very often. I don’t know, but I had a strange feeling... So many good things in one day? Is that normal?
Whatever, I arrived at school I sat down on my chair in my classroom. In the first lesson we had math... I like math but today I was a bit worried because we got our math test back... I don’t know but I had a bad feeling about the math test. My friend Mia was sitting next to me, she got her test...omg... She had a 5... I was so nervous and a little bit fearful at that moment. The teacher handed out more tests and I was getting more and more nervous.
Finally, the teacher came to me and said, "I am very proud of you!” I can't believe it.! I saw my grade and was very happy! But I also had this strange feeling... but I ignored that feeling and I went to the sports lesson. In sports we played handball. I really like that game. In the last ten minutes the sports teacher said: "All girls and boys come in the center of the gym. We have a winning group taday! And the winner is …. Lilly and her team!" I was so surprised! After sports we went to the school cafeteria. Normally, I don’t like the food in the cafeteria but today they cooked my favorite food. I ate my food and was happy. At 4 o’ clock I went home, at home my mum gave me a new toy! It was a little teddybear, I love this teddybear so much.
Now, I am very tired, so I ‘ll go to bed early and try to sort out my thoughts about this incredibly lucky day.

Diary of a confused and sad person

Dear Diary,

I don’t know how to feel about this day. I had to close with an old thing and at the same time I was starting with a new thing. Today was my last school day in secondary school. We had only three lessons and of course we got our report cards. I am not happy about my grades and I wasn’t able to stop my tears. I always wanted to have good grades and I worked hard to get them, but this year… I don’t know. I just didn’t work as much as last year. I got a 3 in German and a 4 in English.
But I shouldn’t complain because it’s enough to go to upper secondary school. I am really excited about the new school already, but I am not going to go to school with Zoe and Leo. Yes, I have their phone numbers, but will I really meet them, or I am going to have new friends? Or are they going to have new friends? But why should I worry about this now? Now I’l enjoy my holydays and after the holydays I’l am going to go to a wonderful new school.

The best day in my life

Dear diary

Today is the best day of my life. We got our report cards today and I am very happy with the results. I have worked so hard for my grades and now, I finally got good grades at the end of the school year. Today, after school I went home as quickly as possible to tell my father that I got only A’s in my report card. He told me that I have done good work and I should keep it up. He gave me 200$ so I could go shopping with my best friends. I called my friends and we met at the shopping center. I bought books and clothes for myself. After shopping we went to the new ice cream store near the shopping center, and I bought all of us an ice cream. That was the best ice cream I have ever eaten...
After that we went to the park and played soccer. We played a match, and my team won the match. I felt so confident that I wanted to play another match. We played until it got dark outside, Then, we all went home.
At home I started to read my books. Then finally my mom came home, and I told her about me awesome report card. She told me that she is going to prepare a little surprise for me. I felt so proud of myself. The next day in the morning my mom woke me up and she gave me a little box wrapped with colorful wrapping paper. I instantly opened the gift, and it was another book. I am going to read all of these in the holidays. This were the best day of my life I was happy and proud of myself.

Mixed feelings

Dear diary,
Today was a strange day with lots of mixed feelings. One moment I was happy and the next one I was sad. But I say, anybody can have a bad day.
I think I fell in love with the new boy in my class. It´s not normal for the last year of lower secondary school college to go to a new school, but he tells us he was bullied in his old school, so he has changed school.

My teacher said, I have to show him the school, but I’was too nervous. While I showed him the school, he told me his name is Thomas but I can call him Tom. He has cute curly brown hair and brown eyes. Tom’s eyes look like chocolate. At first he was really shy but after 10 minutes it was fun to show the school.

We spoke a lot about books, movies, archery and our families. He was so friendly and lovely.
In the brake he went to the popular boys. After I showed him the school, he didn’t speak to me again. I feel so bad, I like him but he ignores me. I cannot control my feelings. Should I try to speak with him tomorrow?

Love you,
Marlies

The saddest day in my life

Today was one of the saddest days in my life.

My day started quite well. My dad bought nice breakfast for my family, and I played computer games because my dog was at the vet and I didn’t have to take him for a walk. My dog didn’t breathe well in the morning, but I didn’t think this was a big problem. But I had a bad felling.
At lunchtime my sister and my mom drove to the vet to pick up our dog. But the doctor wasn’t finished. So, my mom and my sister waited. The doctor said that we have a problem, but he hoped to save the dog. My mom waited one more hour. Then the doctor came out and told her the sad news. Our dog had died.
My mom called me on the phone to tell me the sad news. At first, I couldn’t believe it. I had not expected this, and I was sure our vet could help our dog.
Now I felt really bad. In the morning I was lazy and didn’t want to take him for a walk – I was quite happy to play computer games instead – and now our dog was dead.
I am so sad that he died, and I felt bad that I did not go to the vet with him. Every day, I think of the moment when he died and every time, I know that I should have been there. I know that I can’t do anything, but I feel so helpless. My whole family is very sad. My small sister weaps the most. We all miss Bob a lot.

Flooded by strange, new feelings

Dear Diary,
Today was a very strange day. A new girl came to our class. Her name is Gwen, she is 12 years old and has long, flowing, blond hair. It looks so beautiful. When I saw her , my heart was thumping wildly, so I was afraid, that the whole class would hear it. My blood shot in my head, so my cheeks became bright red. When she passed by my desk, I saw her blue eyes and smelt her perfume. It smelt of flowers. She asked me, if she could sit next to me, but I was so nervous, that I couldn’t speak, so now she sits next to Fred. I was so angry with Fred, but I was more furious with myself. Why couldn’t I speak?
In the break I saw her again. She was speaking with some other girls. The girls were laughing. It looked as if Gwen was making new friends. My friend flipped his fingers and brought me back from my thoughts.

He asked me, what was wrong with me, and I told him what was happening with my body. He was not sure either what this was. Slowly, I got a bit scared. What was happening with me? I don’t know what is happening with me.

After school I saw Gwen on the bus. She takes the same bus as me! And she got off the bus at my stop and walked into my building!!! Wow – she lives in the same house with me! She lives in number 323. I cannot believe it.
I felt my blood shoot in my head again. At home, I told my mom what had happened today, and I asked her what was happening to me. My mom asked me some questions, like ‘Your blood really shot in your head?’ and ‘You really couldn’t speak?’. And then she said: ‘Alright, you fell in love.’ I was shocked. I fell in love! I pinched my hand, and this really hurt. This wasn’t a dream. I have really fallen in love.
At dinnertime I told this to my dad. Mom and Dad said: ‘Jack, this is very good. Falling in love is beautiful.’ My little brother laughed at me. But now I must go to bed. It’s 08:30pm. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I will see Gwen again.
Good night, dear Diary.

A terribly sad day

Dear diary

My mom called me today at school and she said that she got bad news. At that point I thought that the bad news was that she got a message from my school that I got a D on my German test. But I was wrong. My cousin Ali has died of cancer. He had an operation in the hospital, but he didn’t survive it. I was shocked, and I dropped my phone. I am so sad, and I really don't know how I can explain it.
This is the worst thing that has ever happened to. The rest of the day in school was awful. I could not concentrate at all. Finally, I could go home and I did not feel like studying for school, I cried the whole day.
I will have my English test that is a big problem for me. If I don’t study for my English test, I will get a bad grade on the test. but compared to what happened to Ali that is not really a problem.
One year ago, I got a present from Ali. It was a PSP. I was very happy about it. I will never sell it or throw it away. It is an important memory for me and it will stay on my desk forever.
Today was the saddest day of my life so far and losing Ali has changed how I look at the world.

What an awful day

Dear diary,
Today was a really bad day. I was angry all day and my friends were really fed up with me.
In the morning I didn`t get any breakfast, because my little sister Sarah ate all the bread and drank all the orange juice. There was nothing left for me. After a fight with my mom and my sister I got dressed. I put on my new white hoodie and a pair of jeans. I brushed my teeth and jumped into my sneakers. After that I went out of the house. It was raining heavily.
After 5 minutes I was completely wet because I had left my umbrella in school the day before. After a 15 minute walk, I arrived at school, and the first lesson was Art. I hate Art because something bad is always happening in that lesson. At the end of the lesson, I wondered that nothing bad had happened, but I was wrong:
When we were cleaning up our arts-materials my best friend stumbled and he spilt watercolours on my new white hoodie.
I was so furious because after school I had a date with the new girl in our class. Ashley was so cute and pretty and we had planned to go eat ice cream after school. Our class also had class photos today and I was not wearing a shirt under my hoodie because it was so warm in our school so I could not take off my stained hoodie for the class photo.
It was horrible, I had a dirty, stained hoodie in the class photo. After school I went home without a date with Ashley. I was so angry!
When I was at home my sister annoyed me while I was doing my homework.
In the evening I had a fight with my mom because I had not done my vocabulary work. Now, I am writing all these mishaps down in my diary. I hope I will never have a day like again in my life. Good night!!
