Finny has recently convinced me to go for the Winter Olympics. I've been training with him a lot lately. It's nice to be close to him again as friends. You would never have guessed who enlisted the other day! Leper! As if the war didn't feel unreal enough as it was. Of course, people joke a lot about Leper enlisting, saying stuff such as saying he's a huge war hero; mockingly of course. Finny and I stop going to the Butt Room, for we didn't really want to take part in these jokes. In fact, I don't really see anyone too much anymore. I spend literally all of my time training for the Olympics with Finny. Oh! Finny decided to throw a Winter Carnival! There has never been a Winter Carnival at Devon before, but of course, Finny started assigning duties right away. "And because it was Finny's idea, it happened as he said, although not as easily as some of his earlier inspirations" pg 121. The carnival actually was really fun. Everyone seemed intoxicated with hard cider, and everyone was just having a good time. We were all having such a grand time when Brownie shows up with a telegram from Leper. He wrote to me telling me he has escaped, and how he wants me to meet him at his "Christmas location".
