Tough Week
I had no idea the Academy would be THIS intense! I wonder how Sparky's making out? Probably better than me.
I know the other cadets aren't doing it on purpose, but it feels like they're ignoring me. I guess it's because they know what kind of person I used to be. But I've changed! I don't know. Maybe I'm just imagining it. Sparky seems to be having fun and getting along with everyone. I wonder how he does it so easily?
Betty has been really nice to me, though. We eat lunch together almost every day, which is nice because the other cadets' tables seem to be filled. I told her how I was feeling left out. She just gave me a big hug and said to keep smiling, and that it would all be better soon. I hope she's right. I really want to make friends here!
