BEEEEEEES!!!
Well THIS is a great start to the semester! I went out into the garden to start planning what I’d plant and what did I see? Captain Wits was tearing up parts of the garden and building these weird boxes all over! I ran up to him and asked him what he was doing, and he said he was building beehives to get ready for the spring!
Now, I’m no chicken, but the thought of working in the garden with all those flying, stinging bees everywhere…ugh! It just gives me the creeps! I know it’s good for the garden, but it’s not good for me! Maybe I can talk him into moving them to a different part of campus…

How Many Teacups!
Too many teacups. To start off my year of good deeds, I thought I’d help Betty organize her teacup collection. It was…incredible. I mean, how does one person gather over 10,000 tea cups in one life time? More importantly, why would you ever want to gather that many tea cups?
I did the math – Betty could drink out of a new cup every day for over 27 years before having to reuse a teacup! That’s unbelievable! I was helping her for nine hours before we both called it quits for the day. I guess I should just be glad that I could help someone. Still…that’s waaaay too many teacups…
Wish me luck (and patience). I’m going to help her finish over the weekend.

Plantastic!
Alan, you totally hit a home run with this gift! Sure, I may have pricked my finger a dozen times trying to unwrap it, but it was soooooo worth it! Where on Earth did you find an Elephant’s Foot Plant (besides Mexico)? Did you go to Mexico? No matter where it’s from, it’s mine now! Thanks!
This is shaping up to be a great year! I’m going to spend these snowy months planning the garden and working on making the Academy even more secure!

I'm Back!
I’m back and ready for action! I’m really glad I had winter break to relax and think about last semester. Now I can’t wait to get to work! I think I’ll start by patching things up with everyone. Maybe I’ll see if I can help them in my spare time.
I think I’ll start with Alexi. I know she’s working with Jenny and Frankie, so I’m sure they could all use a hand. Wish me luck!

I found it!
I found the perfect gift for Alan! Here’s why it is perfect:
- 1. It’s a gadget.
- 2. It helps with video games.
- 3. No one else has one.
Okay, ready to hear what it is? It’s a pair of gloves! Naturally, they’re not just regular gloves – they’re gloves that plug into your computer to keep your hands warm! They even have the fingers cut off so you can type without a problem. I really think it’s the perfect thing for PC gaming on those cold winter nights. I hope he likes them!

Bah Humbug
Alan is the hardest person to buy presents for! Christmas is only a few weeks away, and I’ve got no idea what to give him. I mean, he likes video games, but he’s already bought all the ones he wants.
I could always make him something, but I’m not that great with crafts or anything. What will I do!

Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is almost here, and our garden is full of yummy vegetables! Most people think that nothing grows when it’s this cold outside, but they’d be wrong. We’ve got three kinds of squash, carrots, beets, and turnips ready for harvest! I think I’ll ask Maya for help looking up some fun recipes.
On a side note, I just want to say sorry to Erika. Alan was right (even though he wasn’t nice about it). I know you made a mistake. I made bad mistakes too. I’m still thankful that you’re part of the Academy. I hope you can forgive me, because I really do want to be your friend still.
