Chapter 1 Goodbye, California
March 1; My mom and I are moving to Australia.Mom has a new job in Sydney.She gave me this journal so I can write what happens.
I don't know what to think.I'm excited about moving to a new country and learning about a new culture. But I'm also nervous."Don't worry, Ella," Mom said to me. "Everything will be fine."
But what if I don't make any new friends?It doesn't seem fair that I have to leave my friends in California.
March 17; Our new house in Sydney is a lot like our old house in California.I can see the Pacific Ocean from my bedroom window.It's the same ocean that you see in California.We're just on the other side of it.
Today I found out that Australia is sometimes called Down Under.That's because it's way down below the equator.
March 18; Today Mom and I went shopping.We walked to the dairy around the corner.That's a small grocery store.They don't have my favorite cereal here.I don't recognize a lot of the things in the stores.I'm not so sure I'm going to like it here.
Mom bought me something to eat called a sausage roll.It has meat inside pastry.It wasn't quite the same as having a hot dog, but it was still pretty yummy!
Chapter 2 New Friends
March 20; Today I made a new friend.Her name is Kate, and she lives next door.She and her mom came over to say hello.
Tomorrow will be my first day at school.I'm in the same class as Kate.She offered to walk to school with me.Maybe I won't be so nervous with her there.
