Dear Diary,
Yesterday started out as an ordinary day, but it quickly turned into something special. I (16) woke up
early, thinking it would be just another routine day. After breakfast, I (17) went to the market to pick up
some groceries. While I was there, I (18) met an old friend I hadn’t seen in years. We (19) went to
catch up over coffee, and what was supposed to be a quick chat (20) turned into a long, heartfelt
conversation.
Later in the afternoon, I (21) went to visit a new art gallery that had just opened in town. The exhibits
were incredible, showcasing both traditional and modern pieces. One particular painting (21) grabbed
my attention, and I stood there for what felt like hours, completely lost in its details.
As the day came to an end, I (22) went home with a sense of fulfillment, reflecting on how unexpected
encounters can make the day truly memorable.

class is 8A, where my homeroom teachers are Ms. Efrint and Mr. Dimas. And there, I have made a bunch of
new friends and was good at socializing with them. There are also a few of new teachers who will be teaching
my class on this academic year, such as Mr. Dimas, Ms. Asri, Ms. Dinda, and Mr. Bryan, it was a wonderful
experience meeting such new teachers, and it will be a magnificent academic year. Meanwhile, I was
surprised that Ms. Katherin, who used to watch me during detention, and I am sure it will be a fun experience.
To put that into perspective, it was a fun experience. However, sometimes I run in the hallway all the time
which is something I imposibbly will not change, and that’s my experinece of the first day of school.
