First day—
Teacher told my parent that I am the slowest younster in my class, but today I made a star in the third quadrant of kindergarten.
Teacher was surprised. Teacher tried to hide it and said the solar phoenix reaction is artistic, but is it practical?
I don't care. I think it's pretty.

Seventh day—
Today there is no school.
After the pangs and labors of creation, it is fun to play again. It is like escaping the gravitational field of a white dwarf and regaining the dissipated coma.
Teacher talked to my parent again today. Teacher said I had developed remarkably in the last few days but my creation was hopelessly warped and inconsistent. Moreover, it was potentially dangerous.
Teacher said it would have to be destroyed.

If anyone sees a great comet plunging toward the sun, it wasn't me.
