Dear Journal,
My name is Nicholas and today is my birthday.  I received you as a gift from my father who owns a merchant trading shop in the city of Florence where we live.  I am 15 years old and my parents are able to afford to send me to school.  I study Latin, the classics of Ancient Rome and math, I find Latin difficult to learn but I really like math.  When I am older, I plan on going to university to continue my studies.  I have two brothers who are 7 and 5, they have started school also.
Tonight for my birthday we are having soup, roasted chicken and vegetables.  It is my favorite meal!  My mama does not work so she has been home all day cooking and the house that we live in is filled with the smell of roasted chicken and soup.  I just peaked out in the kitchen, which is down the hall from my room, and she has started making our dessert for this evening, gingerbread; my favorite!
I cannot wait until the weeks end.  The carnival will be in town and my family will be attending. The carnival will bring music and dancing and jugglers, so many beautiful colors and sounds!  I don’t know if I like the jousting competitions or the horse races more but I can barely sleep tonight I am so excited for it to come.
That is all for now journal, mama is calling me for dinner.
