I think my mom needs to read Sandra Cisneros’ poetry. Especially her poem “Loose Woman.” That’s the kind of woman I want to be when I grow up. That’s the kind of woman I wish my mom saw herself as.

Algebra II is kicking my butt again. I am barely pulling a C. If I don’t pass this stupid class, I can say good-bye to college. Martin tells me not to worry, that I can do it. That’s easy for him to say because he’s a math genius (especially for a word guy), but for this fat girl it’s like eating soy ice cream—completely unbearable. Okay, well, math isn’t that hard, but it’s boring. I hate it. Sebastian said he’d tutor me and I’m going to take him up on his offer. I’m going to ask him if we can go tomorrow after school. We could go to Pepe’s House of Wings and have some wings. I love wings. Sigh.

Now that I have my phone, I can text anyone anytime I want to, although I kind of miss the old landline. But I guess this is better because I don’t miss my mom listening in on my conversations. On Fridays, I stay up late and talk to Martin until like 3 or 4 in the morning. Once or twice, I’ve heard my mom come towards my door, and I’ve had to hide my phone under my pillow with my beef jerky. It’s worth it though.
