Quick Update!

Srajana finished her Greek test in her class on Thursday. Usually, her teacher takes a loooonngggg break from teaching anything in social studies new after the test, but on Friday, they jumped right into Rome. I also think she might be making a new outfit for somebody. Probably Ruthie, since she has been given the fewest number of clothing items. It could be another mini doll though, perhaps Julie. But Jules hates skirts.....I kind of miss hanging out with her, but Gwen and Kaya are better friends. I cannot believe how Ruthie acted! Ruthie, the nicest girl in school.......
Ugadi, the Indian new year, is coming on Tuesday. Srujana will probably post about it or make Neela or me post about it. It's a South Indian holiday, and they make a pacheedi, which is an Indian sauce. It's special because you mix something sweet, something salty, something bitter, and something sour. It's horrible, and Srujana makes it for her family. Last year, she used ice cream, potato chips, licorice, and lemon juice. Her mom did not touch it, but she swallowed a bit and Srujana's dad ate a little too. Hopefully it will taste better this year! Yahoo......I have to go do laundry now for the dormitory. It's my week to do so.
Sonali

Rain

It has been raining or cloudy all week long, and now! Srujana said that whenever she complained to her friend, she said "Welcome to Oregon!" She only complains when it's raining. And no snow whatsoever except that light layer two days before New Year's Eve. Ugh!
And I am getting a new dress! It will be a school outfit. An orange dress with red embroidery.
And the new girl arrived today! Gwen Megan Thompson came from American Girl, and the first thing she did was hug Sonali, before Sonali introduced all of us. She will be staying in a room with Sonali and me. It's fairly crowded, but not so bad. Gwen's pretty nice. Now, Srujana's friend has three American Girls, and one too many according to her mom, so she offered to give one to Srujana. Kaya, Elizabeth, or Josefina. Hmmmm. Srujana wanted her friend to sell the doll, but her mom did not want her to. Srujana has lots of time to decide anyways.
See you!
Julie

Singing Show

Neela, me, Rebecca, Ruthie, Sonali, and Felicity all sang great. And Neela even was given a new outfit! Srujana will put up a picture on Saturday or Sunday.

Neela will begin to attend the helping-out club with Ruthie at the academy for her elective now. She does not like drama class at all. And Ruthie was all alone in the class.

In other news, Gwen will most likely be coming as the 2010 doll here.

Sorry for the short post! I have a ton of math, and Srujana is too grumpy to let me use the computer because she was given a D- on her math test.

Bye!

PS: Get it? Bye Julie?

Kaya is Bad

Srujana has not had any voters on the poll, so she is deciding to choose Kaya or mini Felicity. I am pleading not Kaya. My best friend Chrissa said that in Iowa, there was a boarding school nearby where there was a Kaya. She always was boasting and bragging away. Kaya is bad and shouldn't come. She could be a bully!
Oh, and in case you didn't catch it, I'm Sonali Matthews. In school, I'm starting to catch up. I miss Gwen and Chrissa, but Rebecca and Julie and I have formed a group. Neela and Ruthie are nice, but I am not really friends with them. Science is my second class, and favorite class. We are studing The Dinosaur. At least that's what our teacher calls it. For my elective, I chose French. It's pretty fun I guess.
Christmas prep is coming a lot great. We haven't put up a tree quite yet, but I have a holiday dress and new shoes! Can't wait till Christmas!
