Sunday 3rd March, 10 pm.I went to Rachel’s this evening. We watched “13 Going On 30”. It was great. It’s about a lonely, unhappy girl called Jenna. She hates being a teenager and wants to grow up quickly. She makes a wish on her thirteenth birthday and the next day she wakes up as a beautiful 30-year-old woman who is the editor of a New York fashion magazine. But she finds out that adults have lots of problems too. It’s funny and a bit sad sometimes. Rachel wanted to watch it again, but her parents said no, because it was late and we’ve got school tomorrow. Got home at 9.30.
