I auditioned for the musical today. There were seven of us. I had a study 7th so we did it then. Others auditioned at lunch time. But I went to the cheersquad practice. I enjoy being in the cheersquad. It's great. The auditions went well, I think. I was probably in the best 3 from the 7 of us. I hope I'll get in. We could choose the following :
Lead Singing Role
Support Singing Role
Support Speaking Role
Chorus
Dancing
Behind the Scenes
I ticked lead singing role and chorus. The results will probably be out in a week. I didn't get school captain so I must get this or I'll be very upset.
David was at school today but he didn't talk to us and we didn't get the chance to talk to him. Tomorrow I'll try to con him into going into the musical. They're having difficulties finding guys interested in going in it.

11th March 1985 (Monday)
I was so disappointed today. David didn't go to school! He better go tomorrow or I'll cry.
The principal said over parade today that Kathy and Wayne are school captains. I really did want it but anyway, it's no use dwelling on it.
We had another cheer squad meeting today. It's not as good as I thought. I was hoping it would be like the American cheerleaders. But it's not really organized enough and the routines are really hopeless.
Today we were told the musical auitions are on tomorrow and Thursday. I've got auditions and a cheer squad meeting at the same time tomorrow so I don't know what to do. I really hope to get a main role but then I really hoped to be school captain, too.
I got two lots of results back today. I got 10/15 for my English oral!! I was amazed. I beat Karina, she only got 8. But I only got 6/10 for my Biology microscopic sketch. I hope I keep getting average marks. It's better than failing.
We had Religious Instruction today. I don't mind going to R.I. It's pretty good.
I got a letter from Eric today. He had nothing to say because he had 'a 10 page letter to write to Joanne'. He may as well not even write to me.

10th March 1985 (Sunday)
I didn't do anything much today. Just listened to my tapes, and watched TV. In other words, I was very lazy!
Melissa went to her friend's place and she's staying there tonight.
I really can't wait to go to school tomorrow for two reasons: cheer squad practice and, most importantly, to see David.

9th March 1985 (Saturday)
Today at work I found out who the school captains are, Wayne Long and Kathy Bett. Wayne works at the same supermarket as me and he's really cute and very nice! He got a packet of Minties especially for me this morning. I think it's great Wayne got the job as school captain but I don't agree with the choice of Kathy. No one really likes her but she's teacher's pet so that must be how she got elected.
I saw Suzanne Flynn this morning and she said they're busy at the moment but they'll contact me soon. Hughy (the third boy) also wants to learn piano now. He's only 5 but said maybe 10 mins would be enough. So I'll have 4 students. That means I'll get $13.92 from my supermarket job, $12 from the three older piano students and $2 for Hughy. So that's a total of $27.92 per week. If the Flynns come every week!
We went to Mass at Ridgehaven tonight. Afterwards we went up to visit Mum & Dad's friend's family, they live in Ridgehaven. They have four children, James, Matthew, Gregory and Annabel. They're all lovely children. I really enjoyed it there. James and Matthew showed me their skills on the organ and I played a bit. The boys are really very good on the organ.
Kelly has found herself a deb partner, Mario Myall. He's OK. I don't know him very well. He's about 19 I think. Trish Stratton is the lucky girl who has the school captain! She asked him a few days ago so she didn't know he'd get it. I still can't stop thinking about David. He's so wonderful!

8th March 1985 (Friday)
Today was one of those days which starts bad, but ends especially good!
To start with Paul sent Yoko a heap of photocopied letters and Yoko had to attach the personal page to the front and give them out. Everyone got one but me. That was really terrific! I was supposed to be one of his best friends and even his not so close friends received a letter. It's Paul's birthday today and Yoko's last day of school. We had a party for her. We had a cheer squad meeting, too, at lunch so we went to the party after that. It's great being in the cheer squad! Karina still can't get in though because she didn't attend the meeting yesterday. But there's only about 7 grade 12's and 33 grade 11's and I think grade 12's should get in over grade 11's. I'm glad we did go to Yoko's party afterwards because we saw David. He's so wonderful. Everyone was using his pen to write in Yoko's address book and he wanted to leave so he asked me to hold onto it for him. After that we just had to go and find him (I didn't mind at all!!) We're getting on so well with him. When we found him he was talking to us a lot. He's so funny. A guy with a good sense of humour really turns me on. I love it. And David put his arms around me and Karina at the same time. I can't remember why but who cares. There's a big battle on between us now. We've absolutely one crazy about him!!!! He's just so great. Words can't describe him. Nick and Shane were up with David also and they were talking to us, too. Nick and Shane are in our English class and we were divided into groups today (we had double English last). Nick and Shane got put into my group. They sat either side of me. Kerri Cartwright has been hanging around Nick since the dance and Nick has been trying to get rid of her. Anyway Nick told me this afternoon that he told her today. He said he did it just for me (how sweet). Shane and Nick kept mucking around all afternoon. Suggesting things and putting their arms around me and their hands on my knee etc. I don't mind. It makes me feel wanted. Nick was different towards me today. More like he was on the camp. But now I'm a one man woman (as the saying goes). David is the only one for me (at the moment). It's pretty amazing when you think about it, three guys put their arm around me today. David, Nick and Shane. I could talk all night about David but I better not. I can't wait to see him on Monday. I'm hoping being in the cheer squad will help me out with the social and romantic aspects of my life. Well it could only make them better. It couldn't make them worse because at the moment they're non existent!!
Yoko gave me a present today for her going away, and a card. What she said on the card was really lovely. I'll have to talk to her and tell her I wasn't using her and that I know about her and Paul.
I almost forgot! Karina got a letter from Paul S. yesterday and he really liked the letter. But selfish Karina didn't say anything about me helping and I wrote half the bloody letter! I couldn't believe it. She wanted all the credit for herself.
I got the photo's back from the camp today. Some of them are a bit disappointing and one in the hut didn't come out at all. But generally they're pretty good.

7th March 1985 (Thursday)
It's only 4:45pm but I thought I'd write today's events so I don't have to after I get home tonight.
Today Melissa is 13 and Kelly is 17. I'm going to miss Melissa's birthday party. And I'm also going to miss 'Zapped' staring Scott Baio. What a honey!! I'm so disappointed. Kelly got her learner's this morning. She's so lucky. I have to wait 8 month for mine.
I got into the cheer squad today. We needed 40 and exactly 40 turned up to the meeting so we didn't have to audition. I've got my uniform and everything now! It's great.
Nick is being a bit disgusting lately. He keeps telling everyone I tried to 'you-know-what' at camp. David was away today.
(Later)
I've just arrived home from the theatre. Forty grade 12's went down by bus to Brisbane to watch 'Death of a Salesman'. for English. It was a good play but it wasn't really well done and the theatre was old and not very nice. But overall it was pretty good. During the interval we went over to the canteen and saw Paul Bongiorno and Kay McGrath from Channel 0 news. We stood right beside TV stars!!! How exciting. One of the characters in the play (he must have been about 25 in real life) looked in our direction. He saw me and glanced back again and after that he kept looking at me a lot. We were in the second row and the stage was very close to the audience so he could see me well. Every time he got the chance (when his role allowed him to face the audience) he looked at me! He wasn't cute but it made me feel a bit better. On the way home Gareth Weir & Matt Lefevre we're in front where we could see them and they are so cute! But I got really upset on the bus because I realized that cute guys never talk to me and it would be impossible for me to talk to them. I can talk easily to guys who aren't especially good looking, like Paul O'Leary, Bevan Bates, Mathew Winten & Nick Saxby. But they often approach me and I can approach them too. But a really cute guy would never ever come and talk to me. I don't think I'm ugly. I'm certainly not beautiful but maybe slightly attractive. Maybe all I want is a popular guy (who is always cute anyway), someone whom everyone likes and all the girls love. But that's even ridiculous to think about!! Geoff Mulroney is the only one who I can talk to although when I talk to him, everything I say is an effort to impress him. And usually when I do that instead of being myself people don't like me as much. But I always feel I have to impress a gorgeous guy.

6th March 1985 (Wednesday)
Today Karina and I invented a person (for Roselise)! His name is Joey Parker. I met him at the dance on Saturday. Eric brought him down from his boarding school. He's 17, nearly 18. She fell for it hook, line and sinker.
We were going to see Mrs Brand about the cheer squad this morning but the principal kept back all the grade 12's. And by the time he'd finished, she'd gone. We were told to see her during lunch but we couldn't because of sport. So we'll see her tomorrow.
I won my tennis match today. We played cut-throat (Roselise, Karina & I) and I won. The scores were Rose - 1, Kari - 4 , me - 6.
Today was I totally shamed out! Karina and I were writing notes. We were sitting with Bevan because he was helping us with our Maths (he's unusually smart) and Geoff Mulroney walked in. I wrote "I love Geoff Mulroney's face and body." Geoff came over to Bevan and he saw us pass the note so he tried to get it. It was ripped and all he got was "Mulroney's". Anyway he went and I wrote it again because Karina only got the ripped piece. BUT Geoff came back (The Return of Geoff Mulroney) and saw it again, this time he got the whole note. I was so embarrassed! But he really is cute.
I didn't see David today. He went to Bowenglen to play inter-school sport. I don't know what sport he plays. I'm glad I like him because it takes my mind off Eric. I don't want him to know I like him because I'm quite sure it would ruin our friendship.
It's Melissa's last day before she is a teenager.
