Ollie the octopus & Cosmo the crab

Hi, everyone! I’m Ollie the octopus. Wait a sec! I’ll start some music. OK, it’s much better this way. My friends are overexcited to hear the new set for Vernon’s birthday party, but I have just started working on it. Why rush it? I’ve still got a few days until then. And after all the studying and hanging out with my friends, I need to relax a bit, too. 

My friends tell me it usually takes them an hour to get ready in the morning. I wonder how they can do it in an hour… I can imagine all the hassle and hurrying they put themselves through. I couldn’t do that. I take my time. Most things can’t be rushed. Like breakfast. First, while I’m still in bed, I think about all kinds of food to decide what my tummy wants. Unfortunately, I can’t start my day with a hamburger, because then what would I have for lunch and dinner?

Today I’ll have bacon and eggs, pancakes with maple syrup and to be on the safe side, I’ll put some snacks in my lunchbox. School makes me really hungry.

Charley texted me yesterday about a Maths test we’re writing today and he certainly told me not to eat any unhealthy food. I was really surprised about the test, but not about his health advice, because he is always nagging me. As I still had this morning to review, I didn’t open the Maths book yesterday. But I think it is too late to prepare thoroughly now, so I’d better let it go.

It’s definitely more important to fill up my stomach before I head to school. I’ve still got half-an-hour before the first lesson, so I’m going to enjoy every moment of my breakfast.
