only mean one thing: Groundhog’s Day! I grin from ear to ear at the thought of finally seeing my shadow. I can hardly contain my excitement as I munch and crunch on my flower and bark salad. My father always told me that I‚ Punxsutawney Phil‚ will be honored by tens of thousands of people on this special day‚ but he never said that it would come so quickly! I slowly close my eyes and imagine the moment I’d been waiting for. A crowd will cheer as I emerge from my burrow; their cheers will reverberate

One bright but chilly January morning in 1957‚ I ambled across the campus at Pacoima Junior High‚ killing time‚ stalling on my way back from the restroom to class. It was report card day and I‚ like most eighth graders‚ felt relieved that the fall semester had come to a close and something new would get under way; new teachers‚ new kids to meet‚ new assignments to ignore. My classroom was near the gym in a row of low-slung‚ drably painted buildings that were symptomatic of 1950’s public architecture

I was so happy that we had a five day weekend‚ this week. I don’t know why I felt like this week went by slow. We got our first progress reports on Wednesday and I wasn’t extremely happy with my grades. Upperclassmen would always tell us that senior year would be the most relaxed year of our four high school years‚ but honestly it does not seem like it. It’s not that the subjects that are hard‚ its keeping up with every class and the assignments. The thing that i am stressed about is processing all

finally returned today. All of the members of the LR9 made an appearance at school‚ or at least tried to. You weren’t around to see it‚ but the LR9 did not have the most exhilarating day. Maybe I should say half day. They didn’t stay very long‚ I believe they left at about noon. Thelma Mothershed was in three of my classes‚ and every time I faced her she looked sick to her stomach. However‚ I don’t think she was cold and flu sick‚ I would look the same way if I couldn’t make it down the hallway
