"Fair Play"

Dear Diary,

A couple of weeks ago, right after I got to our new town, Aunti Raewi took me to a carnival in town, but it was snowing and cold, and only a couple of the rides were working. We only stayed for a few minutes. Still, we got to go on the Ferris wheel, which was awesome, except that it was so foggy you couldn't see the ground from the top!

Mommy promised she'd take me to the boardwalk, and last weekend we did! It was pretty empty, being winter, and it was still kinda cold, but a lot of the food places were still open. Omigosh we ate so much crazy food! I mean corn dogs and popcorn I understand.. but chocolate covered pickles!?!? Weird! We spent a lot of time running to the bathrooms! There were a few rides open, and the Merry-go-round was really fun. There was also a teacups ride, that wasn't as fun. (or maybe it was just cause we went on it AFTER those chocolate pickles!) Afterwards, we went to the water, and saw some cool little boats and a fishing place. Mommy says we can come back and go fishing here too!

Hairy Hippo Fun Land has got to be one of the most entertaining 'Linden' (Mole) builds I've ever encountered in Second Life. Part of Bay City, this abandoned, off-season boardwalk has some working rides, and a fun 'food eating hunt'. Definitely worth a visit!

*- Yes, I know that most Moles aren't Lindens, but it's an "Official SL Build"

As for school and stuff...

The second grade is hard! There's tests already, and so far I don't seem to be doing very well. Mommy says it's because I'm behind in school due to all the stuff that's been going on, and that I need to study harder. I know I'm gonna have more homework as time goes on.. and that's going to make less time for playing.

There's this big test that I was too behind on to finish, but the school gave me another week to finish it, which is better than nothing.. but I'd rather not have to do it at all!

Mommy said I can have a computer of my own, but it has to be ordered first, and it will take some time before it comes, and it will still have to be set up when it gets here. Mommy also said I can't play games on it when I need to work on schoolwork or chores.

I dunno when I'm going to have time to do all the things everyone wants me to do. I still feel like I wake up, go to school, come home, do homework and chores, then get to spend like an hour with Mommy before it's bedtime. I hope things will calm down soon.
