This is what the book states on the first few pages, fairly easy right???

Anyways, hey everyone it's Abel here. It's the first day with the journal [[finally, it was killing me all night!!!]]. I want to start off with how my day went, just to emphasize how boring it was and how anitcipated I was to start.

It started of TERRIBLEY!! My mom woke me and my sister up at 5:30 this morning because shcool starts next week for us and we usually wake up at that time, so she decided to start us off a week early. Of course I was cranky and didn't want to wake up, but I had no choice really. So I got up, sat up for like I don't know how long, heard my mom leave, and headed straight for the computer. If you see what time the first post was published, you'll know what I did this morning:P So blah blah blah the morning went on as usual an so did the afternoon, boring as usuall. Now I'm gonna skip forward to the book [[I'm getting bored already & I bet you are too so lets get to the good stuff]].


The first page I got to said in BIG letters: ADD YOUR OWN PAGE NUMBERS.
It also had an arrow pointing where to begin, which was the lower right hand corner.


I personally don't think this page counts considering how boring & easy that is. So I took it upon myself to number all the pages that I'd be doing this week [[and again I'm not counting this task as filling out a page just so everyone knows.]]

Here's the how I numbered them:


I just printed out random numbers and glued them to the pages:P Nothing special really.
[[if you noticed, there's no number three. You'll find out why tommorrow]].

Now on too the REAL task, which is on page 2.

The page says "Crack the Spine."
simple isn't it??? Remember how one of the instructions says "open to interpretation? Well here's I interpreted
the task:

See? I cracked a spine without breaking the book's spine >.<

Thanks for taking the time to check out the blog.

Btw, I'm suggesting a new rule. I think we should take a picture of the page we fill out every day and post it on the blog just as I did. That way everyone can see the task

Ok, that's it for today. Comeback tommorrow to see what the next task the journal has in store for me.

Bye, -Abel.
