Today was my 222 (15) day of High School. I lost the V-P election to Adnan. I wasn't that disappointed, considering all I was running for was to put it on my college application.

I found out what the secret was that Dad didn't want to tell me. He was working on a project, and he didn't want to tell me what it was. They're closing down the Hitachi Plant, the one where Dad works, so that means Dad is losing his job. He says not to worry, though, because he'll get paid as much as he does now until April. So now Dad has to find a job. He told me that he's never had to search for a job all his life. He got $7,000 for working on the closing project, so we'll pay off all our bills.

I hope we don't have to move. I'm in High School and a move would be devestating to me. I wouldn't know anyone and I'm fine here. There would probably be no Debate Tournaments and I couldn't run for a class officer position. The most likely place we would go would be in Minnisota. But the main reason I don't want to move is because - I'M A TEXAN!
