I didn't really read it, and was given an extension on the project, when my reading teacher decided to let us choose the next book. The class chose "Jurassic Park," the movie of which had just moved over to the dollar theaters, and Mrs. Goff was understandably upset when she discovered me on page 200-something of JP long before we were supposed to be there, and still no sign of my Shiloh project.

I don't think I ever turned it in, actually...

And I wonder why I didn't do so hot in school!
