Dear Diary,

Diddy here again. You'll never believe where I went today. Go on; guess. Wait, you can't, you're a book. Well, you know that special place I told you about the other night, the one that I thought was my maze? Well for starters it wasn't a maze at all (sad face) and for finishers it was a school. A school with tons of other foals and stuff in it...You know? School stuff.

I wasn't so happy about going to a school again. I hadn't even liked my last one very much but oddly it didn't seem too bad. True, all of the other foals stared at me when I walked in but they looked away faster that any other pony I'd ever seen and nopony turned and whispered to their friends at all. Everypony was silent.

The teacher seemed okay, kind of mean though. If ever you said the wrong answer to a question she made you go and stand facing the wall with a strange bucket on your head. I don't have any problems with that though, I'm actually top of the class even though I've only been there for a day. Thanks to Daddy's stories when I was little I knew every one of the answers to Miss Tache's questions (Miss Tache was a good name for her; my Daddy shaved more than she seemed to).

She only had to look at me and bark 'You, colt, tell me what manouver you would do if you were surrounded all four ways' and I would smile at her and say 'The split and dodge ma'am' (She demanded that I should call her m'am even though she's not my Mother).  She was really upset that I didn't get it wrong; seemed like she enjoyed punishing foals, but she didn't have to wait for long until another foal made a complete donkey of himself by answering the same question and saying he would do as they said and move over. That made me giggle. When I was little I thought manouver meant move over as well. I can still remember the confusion on Daddy's face when I stepped to the side to let him pass.

I liked the other foals in my class. They actually seemed to be really impressed with my braininess ( I never did get why they had to press against your mind to think you're amazing. Must be a weird adult thing). I have friends too. We did some sort of strange dance during playtime, something about a drill, though I didn't see any tools anywhere.

And tomorrow's even more exciting. We're doing about manners in class and my Daddy always said that I had the best manners out of any colt and filly (Mother didn't seem to agree).

I'm still in this ugly room at the minute, bit I learned that there's tons of other foals who have rooms quite near to mine. There's even another colt called Blankety living two doors down from me. The big stallion said if we were good the next day Blankety and me could play together in our free time instead of being alone. I hear Blankety has some really cool toy soldiers.

I really love this place, it's nicer than I thought it was. I know that wherever Daddy is he'll be glad that I'm happy.

I'll make the most out of this joy whilst I can.
