We've arrived at the end of another Earth Cycle. Can you believe it? Soon my destiny will unfold, my life set on an uncharted course. Soon these waters that surround me will only get thirstier. The winds already howl with a foreboding doom. A doom I will soon face. My crew has been scattered across the globe and I can only hope the best for them.

You know the feel you get in a movie when that one guy makes the obviously wrong choice that is certain to lead to their death? Yeah that feel. Especially when that feel happens to a character you actually were okay with. It's not a good feel. I feel it know as I write. It's laughing. I can just imagine the sound of hundreds of children mocking me, making fun of me. Is it too late to back out?

Okay I may have over-exaggerated a bit. The kids were actually pretty okay and subbing for the teacher wasn't as hard as I thought. I had fun in the class and they didn't make fun of me when I stuttered in my introduced. Of course I was so embarrassed but the kids told me that their teacher sometimes did it and they were used to it. I already know I got lucky cuz these kids were chill and Frankie has told me about some substitute teacher horror stories, where the kids may as well all be trickster playing goblins and it would make no difference. I read back and realized what my friends meant about being me being dramatic. I mean I am a drama teacher or I soon will be one. But I will work on it nonetheless. Toodles!
