I had a really great weekend. I didn’t have anything to do on Saturday afternoon so 1 went to the mall. I went into a department store to look around. They were having a contest.

All you had to do was write answers to some easy questions about pop music and put your answers in a box. Then they pulled out three names for a prize. And guess what? Mine was the first name they pulled out. I couldn’t believe it. And it’s a terrific prize.

A weekend for two in Las Vegas!

Saturday morning, I got a phone call from an old school friend. I haven’t seen her for a long time. She was one of my closest friends in high school, but she moved to Los Angeles to , work. She was in town for four days so she invited me to a restaurant for lunch. We had such a pleasant time together. She was telling me about her job in Los Angeles. It sounds really interesting. She works for a movie company and she has to find places where they can film movies—you know, places like restaurants, hotel lobbies, parks, and streets.

My brother and I wanted some ■ exercise on Sunday so we decided to go on a nature walk. There’s a big park near the town where there are supposed to be wonderful wild birds and butterflies. We took a bus there and walked along a forest trail for about four hours. It was pretty tiring because it was a really hot day. The worst thing was, we never saw any wild birds or butterflies! I don’t think we’ll go there again.

I went to my friend’s birthday party on Saturday night. I don’t always enjoy going to birthday parties because you often have to play stupid games and things. Well we did have to play all sorts of stupid games, but I really enjoyed myself. I guess it was because he people at the party were all interesting. And there was good music, too. Somebody brought along some dance music and everyone had a great time dancing. I didn’t get home until after 2 a.m.
