So I bombed my science test and now my teachers and my parents are making me see the guidance counselor! What will Kara think?

I survived the meeting with the Guidance Counselor... barely. But now we've got to meet with him again!

Today, I finally landed a kickflip for the first time. It was sick. I popped the board up, did a perfect flip with my foot and stomped it.

I'm going to camp this summer because I've got something called dyslexia. It means my brain doesn't organize stuff properly.

Man. I thought I had it rough by having to find a way out of summer vacation with the 'rents but poor Simon has to go to some dumb camp!

My science class was cool. Our teacher showed us how to dissect a frog. You could see the frog's heart, stomach and everything.

Kara just told me today that she won't be around for the summer. She's going to Florida to work on her uncle's alligator farm!

I'm leaving this weekend for two weeks of summer camp to help me with my reading problems. I know it's gonna suck.

Having dyslexia doesn't mean I'm some kind of freak. It just means I se ewor dsab itdif ferently from other kids.

So, my second week at camp has been pretty wild. I've been rock climbing, water skiing and even fishing.

My mom was so impressed that I turned down a cigarette. She even bought me a new skateboard!

Ben and I went to the Warped Tour on Sunday. There were people everywhere, bands all over the place - it was unbelievable.

My summer is finally turning around! Simon's here visiting and we are having a blast - we even went wakeboarding!

So, summer vacation is just about over. I'm heading back today after two weeks of hangin' out in California.

I fell asleep in math class today and dreamed I was making out with that chick I met at the Warped Tour.

So, I'm back into the swing of things here at school. Lots of homework, super boring classes and really early mornings.

My dad took me and my brother to see the Lions game on Sunday. I'm not sure what their problem is but the Lions always suck.

So, I finally got a hold of that cutie Rachel who I met at the Warped Tour. I phoned her up and we talked for almost an hour.

Working on this play is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought. Sawing and painting for hours can really take a lot out of you.

Rachel and I spent the afternoon at the mall shopping for Halloween costumes. I think I'm going to dress up as a zombie or Frankenstein.

I totally do not understand people sometimes! A.J. is acting way weird lately - being really snappy with me and stuff.

I've decided I'm going to be the next Jackie Chan. I'm learning karate so I can be a martial arts master.

I've got a new best friend. My parents got me a dog last week and it hasn't taken him long to make his mark.

I'm creating martial arts mayhem on a weekly basis now. I've already learned a ton of cool moves.

I can't believe it's already December. Before we know it, its going to be 2005 and then it's practically summer.

My mom is finally letting me get a pet. Her name is Penelope and she is so cute! She's so much cooler than Simon's dog.

Well, I'm done with girls for a while. Remember that cute girl Rachel who I, really, really liked? We broke up.

The holidays definitely aren't the same since my parents split up. But I'm trying to focus on having a Happy New Year!

After two weeks of sleeping in and playing video games, who wants to go back to annoying teachers and boring classes?

It's been a little weird at school cuz A.J. made some new friends over the break and she's completely ignoring me!
