Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl.
Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. During break I handed out biscuits to my teachers and my class, and then it was time to get back to work. Then Hanneli came to pick me up, and we went to school. With them I bought Myths of Ancient Greece and Rome – a terrific book! I got a book – Camera Obscura, a table game, lots of sweets, a puzzle, a brooch, Dutch Sagas and Legends by Joseph Khozn and some money. From Daddy and Mummy I got heaps of presents and my friends also showered gifts upon me. These were the first flowers, later I received more of them. Then a bouquet of roses, some peonies and a potted plant. A little after seven I went to Daddy and Mummy and then to the living-room to open my presents, and you were the first thing I saw, maybe one of my nicest presents. When I couldn’t wait any longer, I went to the dining-room, where Moortje (the cat) welcomed me by rubbing against my legs. But I’m not allowed to get up at that hour, so I had to control my curiosity until quarter to seven.
On Friday, 12 June, I was awake at six o’clock, which isn’t surprising, since it was my birthday. I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in to anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.
