Journal entry #1

Dear Journal,

Today at the academy I couldn't help but miss home a bit. I always get a little more sentimental around the holidays. I am so excited to go home for a few weeks, but the little time I have spent here has been incredible! Squirtle and I have had such a fun time here and gotten even closer. I hope mom hasn't missed me too much and Jolteon, Skitty, Purugly, and Meowth back at home. But they can keep each other company and we will be back shortly! For Christmas I hope all the friends I have met here and yet to meet to have a fun time at home for the break! Oh,when they come back to have much fun and learn lots!

~Bubbles and love,

Lisa Elynor Scott

Journal Entry #1 - 12/8/14

Dear Journal (or whatever) that I'm being forced to write in- I guess I'll just write what's been up.

First of all, my Torchic won't do anything I say. I mean, I love her and all, but she hardly ever listens to me for some reason. The only thing I can really count on her for is to light my cigarettes; she seems to enjoy that. Mostly she just runs up to any and all Pokemon she sees on campus, whether they have the potential to seriously injure her or not. It kind of worries me. After all, she's only level one! I wish I had a better handle on her. I've battled a few wild Pokemon with her, though, and she did excellent. She likes to fight, just like I do.

Not only is Torchic's defiance kind of frustrating, but so is the only person I've really become friends with since I started here- if I can even really call her my friend. Her name's Maria, and I'm pretty sure she kind of fucking hates me. I think I might kind of like her, though. It wouldn't be a surprise if I do. She's hot. But it'd be nice to be interested in someone who didn't act like I constantly annoyed them. Not that I'm interested in her or anything.

Anyway, back to things that really matter. I've been trying to make more friends on campus. I learned that if I'm actually nice to people, people are a lot nicer to me back. Who would've thought?!

Journal Entry; Monday, December 8th

I guess I haven't gotten out of the habit of writing a journal since being a student here. It's super cool having a room to myself, though. Teachers have it pretty sweet here. I got lucky, I guess. I came back here to learn more and to teach my perspective. So far, that hasn't gone so well. It's early days, though. Maybe I can get through to some people.

I figure at this stage, I should probably keep tabs on the people to avoid. I'm only a teacher's assistant, but I can still help. However, some people are beyond help. I'd say Marty is number one on that list. If you can't even accept opinions, then you're in trouble.

Other than him, I've had a pretty good start to this year. Flareon and Growlithe have been racing each other in the yard. They've all chosen where they're sleeping in the room, too. Luckily, only Flareon and Tepig want to share the bed with me. Growlithe wants the chair. I can handle that. I guess I'm going to have to meet some more students. I can't teach them much about training, but I can teach them about care. That's all I grew up learning after all. 

I've only met one other TA, but I didn't catch his name. He seemed quiet, but I kind of liked him. I didn't really get enough out of him to know for sure. I've met a couple of other students, too. They were alright. They weren't unbearable, at least. I'll have to see how this week turns out.
