December 31, 1985

Dear Diary,

My 6th grade teacher told us it would be a good idea to reflect on the past year and everything that happened. Since today is the last day of 1985, I thought I would write about it in my diary. Here we go!

This year the president was Ronald Reagan. He began his second term as president in January. We are in what everyone calls, "The Cold War", and this year President Ronal Reagan met the Soviet Union President, Gorbachev for the first time. I hope this 'war' ends soon because so far there hasn't been any fighting. My daddy is in the Navy and I don't want him to leave.

My favorite songs this year were, "Like a Virgin" by Madonna (even though my parents told me I wasn't allowed to listen to it) and, "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen. My friend, Kathy, says Madonna sucks and won't be around for a long time. I think she's wrong.

The weather was really crazy this year. One time, there were over 40 tornadoes that hit the US in one day. Many people died and it was really sad. I hope it doesn't happen again.

They found the RMS Titanic this year, too! We learned about how the Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable and guess what: it sank. They found it underwater with this machine called ARGO that swims under a mothership and sends pictures back of what it sees down there. I wish I could get one of those and go look for sunken treasure and stuff! COOL!

My favorite thing that happened this year though was the release of the Nintendo. We haven't been able to get one yet because they are really expensive but my friend Cheryl got one for Christmas and I am going to play on hers. She says its really neat and you make things happen on the TV like a game with a remote. I can't wait to play and tell you all about it.

Happy New Year!

Love,

Kaitlyn Lee
