So, I had an interview at the gym on Monday and they called me back today and want me to start next Monday. I'll miss the sun and the chance to tan while working, but atleast I'll still be working. It beats going to school for sure.

Jo, thanks again for calling the gym for me. I'm just glad the bodyswap thing ended before my interview.

Does anyone else use a sword? No offense to those I train with in the mornings, but the majority of you suck when it comes to swordfighting. But at the same time I suck at archery so we're even.

DI IMMORTALES WUT IS THIS???

I'm a boy! I can't be a boy! I've taken an oath against boys!

Agh and somebody halp, this...thing keeps getting stuck in my pants it is SO BIG

It's actually pretty weird to think that it's my birthday, because my birthday had just passed at home before I was brought here. Atleast this year I wasn't fighting for my life with a possibility that I wasn't even gonna make it to my birthday. Actually, I could have died of embarrassment the last few days so that's not true.

I think I'm gonna go swim a few laps then head to breakfast. And if I don't get a blue cake today I guess it won't be that bad.

I miss the Hunters. Things were so aesy when I was with them, I knew my place and I knew what to do. It was all abuot the glory of the Hunt and the thrill of the chase, but now theirs no purpose to it.

Thank gods Percy and Annabeth are here, but its still not the same. They have each other and I have no one. I shouldn't want to have anyone, I took my Othe a long time ago and I meant it but sometimes I wonder what I'm nissing out on. I never used to have these douts but the longer I stay here the more I wonder if I made the rite choice. And the more I trian with Gale the more I want to spend time with him which is stupid because he lieks Katniss and I'm not going to get in the middel of that.

I don't even know why I'm riting all this down but I'm just tired and confused and lonely and I need a big bowl of ice creem and I can't even spel that rite.

I miss the Hunters.

I have to start looking for a new job. The pool is only open until the end of the month and after that I'll be unemployed again. I've saved up enough money though that I could probably go atleast a month without a job, but I don't want to risk running out before I find another one. I should have realized this sooner, but I was just happy to have a job that it didn't occur to me.

And then my birthday is next Thursday. It'll be the first time I haven't spent my birthday with my mom. As silly as it sounds, I'll miss her blue cake. There isn't enough blue food here actually.

Is everyone back to normal now?

There is NO WAY I am EVER going to let myself be caught that unprepared again. My bruises have bruises and they hurt now when I got them at the beginning of the week! How unfair is that!? I didn't think I would need to be constantly on the alert for loss of sensation, This place is weird, but I hadn't thought it would get that weird.

My fingers and toes have been tingling all day. I don't like it. It hurts and I'm terrified of what will happen when the pain stops. If I become some sort of vegetable just knock me out, all right? Let me be unconscious for it. We all know it will probably pass quickly, but I don't want to know any of it.

Please?

This is going to be fantastic! I can't taste anything! What an amazing way to lose weight! I'll just eat nothing but lettuce for as long as this lasts!

Man. I can pretend a slice of zucchini is chocolate, or that water is soda. This is perfect!

I finally got a job. I'm gonna be a lifeguard at the public pool in the suburbs right outside the castle. I think I stunned them by how long I could stay under water for. It was pretty cool actually. I never really thought about it before, but I guess it makes sense considering who my father is. I start on Monday.

what is this

where is blackbeard

Not that this strike isn't fun, but who are we supposed to appeal to in order to get this thing moving forward? I can't figure out the directions on the stupid laundry machines.

Percy, Thalia, can we get out of here tonight?

( Private to Camp Half-Blood Campers )

I wish Grover was here. And I need to get a job apparently, but I have no idea what to do. I'm sure no one is actually looking for any Demigods. I guess I should take a look in town.

Annabeth, wanna go into town tomorrow?

Is there anyone who can perform a translation spell on the books in the library? Wow it feels weird to ask that. There are a few that I really want to read. But the headaches and frustration aren't worth it. The pictures are nice, I guess.

You know, it's much easier to keep in shape and not sit in your room eating danishes all day when you're at camp and there's a schedule, or if you're running around the forests all day hunting down manticores. I'm going to have to get off my butt and make myself train regularly.

So I'm looking for workout buddies. Jogging buddies, swordfighting buddies, hunting buddies, archery buddies. It's no fun doing it by myself.

HEY!

What the hell is this? I swear on the Gods if this is one of their ways of "challenging" us, I am NOT amused! I proved myself all ready, I don't have to go through this shit all over again!

Someone better give me some answers, ASAP! And don't tell me to read the scroll. I read the scroll, it didn't answer jack. Why am I here? Where is HERE? And what the hell are dragons doing flying outside?!

[Filtered to Annabeth and Thalia]

You would think that after seeing the things we have, that a castle in the middle of a regular city wouldn't be strange, but somehow it still is.

Ok, what the hell is going on? This definitely isn't my cabin. And what's that squeaking?

Has anyone tried to get to that futuristic-looking city past the forest? I'm going to take a look. Anyone who wants to come, meet me at the stables after lunch.
