Today something crazy happened, I laid white poo, so I thought. The humans said they are eggs but how cAn I have eggs without a mate the other two snails in here aren't even my friends, we rarely socialize.
I see a major problem with this whole egg thing, I don't want to share my cucumbers with anymore snails even if they are my kids! Besides, who is going to take care of them, not me. I am going to try to make that snail they call Pasta take care of them, he is far more social and probably likes little snails crawling all over the place!
Ms. Senese here are some questions for you:
Has Pasta laid eggs without me knowing?
Can you tell the kids/students to stop crowding me?
Are you going to let me go when the kids rare born?
Could you buy me a bigger plastic horror?
Till next time.

Dear Diary,
It is Houdini, I M still in the cage. I think I am getting somewhere, i race up the wall but in over two minutes I have barely gone an inch, with this extra weight on me, I am not getting anywhere anytime soon! If only I had wings!
Frustrated and still overweight,

Dear diary,
Right now I really wish Concha was here, even though the little guy was annoying at least he was company.
My shell has not been painted yet, and for that I am thankful! I hope these children forget about the ridiculous yellow spots and glitter!
It has been incredibly difficult to go on my diet with all the food and treats the children bring for me. But ms. Flanese always puts them directly on my face, I mean who wants that? A juicy cucumber is wonderful to eat, just not directly on my face...
Ms. Hanese read below:
Diet must be completed
Get me out of this plastic horror!
(I know the rocks are fake)
Get me some privacy
(plastic grass doesn't cut it!)
No more food ON MY FACE!!!
Oh and something i don't understand, why do the humans make such a big fuss over poop? I try to be discreet, but they watch me like 24/5 (not 24/7 becAuse you have weekends).

DeAr Diary,
Finally, I have a plan to escape, As I make my way off the bridge that Ms. Blenese made me it hit me, I will blend in with the tasty food that Ms. Blenese feeds me, then when she throws it out I will crawl my way to victory! I might need to exercise thought, all this food is mAking me a bit round.
I am kind of torn about Ms.Shenese, she feeds me great food and I think sometimes I should like her, but on Friday she was taking pictures of me out of my shell trying to watt lunch! Sometimes there is no such thing as privacy!
As I lay in this plastic cave I am getting sadder and lonelier.

Dear diary,
Today the big human took me out of the container I was in, I figured out the hArd way:I was not really escaping, I was merrily on the ceiling. My dear almost friend Concha always went on about shentese or Senese interrupting him while he was using the bathroom, I hope that doesn't happen to me. And if it does...oh the horror!
For now think I will hid behind the grass so that no one will see me use the bathroom. I have been eating cucumbers and planning my escape diligently. Life here is not too bad although do get lonely, it sure would be nice to have a friend.
Love,
Houdini

Dear Diary,
Today was a good day but it is getting really lonely in here. I miss Concha. Concha was the only friend I have had, at least he was someone to crawl on and talk to. I miss living with him and making fun of his painted shell, even if I was only doing it because I was little jealous.
I overheard the kids mentioning another pet named "Slinky"? Really what kind of a name is slinky?A caterpillar???
I AM NOT SHARING MY DORMITORY WITH A CATERPILLAR!
UGH.

Dear Diary,
Today the big human took me out of the container I was in, I figured out it was a container the hard way: trying to escape but only going on the ceiling. My dear "almost" friend Concha always went on about how Shenese always interrupted him while he was going to the bathroom. I hope that doesn't happen to me. And if it does...the horrors! But I'm still holding a grudge about how he pooped on my cucumber.
Right now I am going to hide behind the grass so she can not find me going to the bathroom. (My privacy is constantly invaded!) I have been eating cucumbers and making plans to escape, but now that I think about it life is good here but awfully lonely.
Love,
Houdini

Dear Diary,
"Finally my way to escape". As I make my way off the bridge that Ms. Blanese made me, but I must think about this because she has been giving me such tasty food...
I've got the perfect idea maybe when she gives me my food I can blend in with my food. I will hide in with the salad and greens and she will never know I am there. That is a sure fire way to escape. When she attempts to throw the container out I will merely crawl out and victory will be mine!
I might need to excersize first. She has been feeding me quite a bit and I have become kind of round. But I feeel bad because all of the kids out there are running like a million times faster than I do. Should I like Ms. Crenese or not, because on Friday she was I think taking pictures of me when I was out of my sehll trying to have a peaceful lunch. All I think I heard from the kids was, "Ms. Senese" (ohhhh, that's what it is.) "No flash photagraphy!"
As I lay in this lonely cave I am just getting to be sadder and sadder.

Dear Diary,
right now, I am strartying to wish Concha was here. The little guy might have been annoying but he did keep me company.
My shell has not been painted yet. I hope the children forget about that ridiculousness. I certainly do not want my shell covered in yellow spots and glitter.
I don't like the way I am fed. (what is that human's name?)Ms. Flanese always puts my food right on my face! The big juicy cucumbers, they are delicious, but it is slightly disturbing.
Ms. Hanese - please read below:
Oh! Something I do not understand is why the humans make such a big fuss over my POOP, I am trying to do it discreetly, but you watch me like hawks, 24/5 or 24/7 whatever you say.

Dear Diary,
Hey, It's Houdini. I've been wasting my time, I have to get out! What was I thinking. I can't stay! I xcan NOT let these humans think I am THEIR pet! They even think it is nice to have another snail here, a less intelligent snail, this guy is definately lacking upstairs! Like I want a "pal" ?!? That snail exposes itself far too much, like anyone wants to see "Pasta's" foot muscle. (shees!)
Anyway I belong in the world livin' free, letting the wind blow on my face as I go a quarter mile an hour. I can find my own cucumbers. maybe when I escape, I can stop by that food lair and take the cucumbers from teh human's source! Maybe there is some kind of cucumber ray...I could take that instead. I'll have an endless array of cucmbers! Yup, I'm livin' la vida loca baby! No human can get in my way! It is going to be a good life.
Love,
Houdini

Dear Diary,
Today was pretty relaxing. Not very many people made me feel claustrophobic today.
I am living the high life, whenever the monsters come back from lunch I get fresh cucumbers and lettuce. I think the monsters are called "students or kids" either or...
I can't believe I am saying this, but...I kind of miss Concha, even though we fought, he was close to being my friend. I will never forgive him for pooping on my cucumber that was dirty!
It was MY cucumber. :(

Dear Diary,
Today a giant picked me up and brought me to this weird place in a plastic container. I hate plastic! But I am fed well, cucumbers and lettuce, yum! All these small Giants keep surrounding me and they watch me use the bathroom (awkward!), I have no privacy!
Then today the big giant was rolling me around, I got so dizzy and nervous I hed in my shell, then I pooped...oops. All the mini-giants laughed. I got so peturbed I stayed in my shell. Can't they just leave me alone?
Later a big ringing noise and the classroom became dark, finally I was being left alone. I was a little nervous at first, but I had a cucumber for company (for a little while at least). It was actually quite peaceful while it was dark and the giants were not around.
Then the lights cameback on and the noises began again. Still I love the cucmbers. I hope to learn more about these giants and miin-giants. I might find a good life here through torture in a plastic container. Well, all I have to say is....
more cucumbers please.

Dear Diary,
Today I came back from a kid's house; I wonder who will take me next...Next time I will make a plan to escape. Four more days until another kid takes me and then, I shall make a plan...but I know I can not carry it out with the new lazy guy in here.
Oh, btw there is this new lazy snail in here. Lazy hardly moves and has a cracked shell. I think something is wrong with that guy. My style is way better. I like my style.
I am so bored. My pal has been there for hours. I wonder if he is dead. "Excuse me, are you dead?" "Oh I will get you little guy!" he says. "Do you want to get out of here, well you aren't. Only me, I am getting out of here. I will work all day and all night to get out of here." Actually though I like my food. If I escape I don't think I will get to meet more friends nor will I get as many cucumbers...in fact I think I should stay.
Love,
Concha

Dear Diary,
Today the big human thought I was dead, I gave her quite a fright. I was an inch away from escape, when the big human trashed it! I learned the human's name was Seahease, or Senese. I really don't understand the students, I learned the third graders will take turns taking me to their houses. That will be my chance to escape.
I am starting to find the projects Shenese tells the students to do very interesting. I should start a wishlist, telling the students and Blenese, unfortunately I am limited on paper.
I still don't understand how humans move so quickly and I only move an inch every two minutes. I still have a lot to learn, like how you pronounce Clenese's name....
Till tomorrow.
