Ramona's Journal

Dear Journal,

I thought that today would be one of the worst nights of my life but I was wrong. I really wanted to a have a good sheep costume today so I could be just like my friends but I was not able to acquire my own. I wanted to be a sheep really badly and was hoping that my mom would make me one but I was not thinking about she doesn’t have much time to make me one. She has a very busy work schedule and when she comes home she does not have much time. I know I was wrong for thinking that my mom would make me one but what my dad said was very mean. He told me, “It is your own fault.” (2239) Something I wish that I would have tried to make him quit smoking after charismas so he wouldn’t be so grumpy and so he would help me make the costume. I was also very sad when he called me a brat behind my back. He should not have called me that and it made me cry.

After all the night of the concert did not turn out very bad. Yes, I had the worst costume of all my friends but that did not stop me from going out there. At first I did not want to go out to perform because I was embarrassed but then when I saw the three wise persons putting on make up I was interested in what they were doing. First I was peaking  at them but they noticed me. I wanted to try some make up so I came and they painted me a nose and put make up on me. I was very excited and suddenly I wanted to go out. I felt like I was being covered and concealed and that no one would notice me behind my makeup. I felt like a different person. When my friends saw that I had a black nose they wanted one too and at the end it turns out that they wanted to look just like me instead of the other way around. That made me very happy and I am glad that this happened to me tonight. I am very happy now.
