Ender's Diary Entry #4

Dear Diary,
In the past couple days a few things have actually been happy so I can partially keep the promise that I made in my last entry. First of all, I made Bonzo look stupid (by accident) in front of our whole army and he got so incredibly mad that, he traded me to Rat Army. I would have been happy but my new commander is almost as bad as him and he still stares at me with his menacing smirks. If looks could kill, I'd drop dead at this very moment. Anyway, me new commander is named Rose the Nose and he doesn't take anything seriously. At least he doesn't really hate me but he does ignore me. One benefit of having a new commander is that Rose lets me participate in the practices and more often in the battles. I am learning lots of new things even though I don't agree with most of the techniques, so, I decided to start practice sessions for the boys in my Launch Group who are not yet in an army. That way I can feel like I'm doing some good in this horrible place. My practice sessions are becoming a great success and many Launchies including Shen and Alai have come out to join me. I don't teach the exact formations that I learn with my army because I have come up with more reliable techniques that make more sense. My techniques would also help us win battles more easily. Too bad that this isn't a real army. We would win every battle. One thing I still can't understand is why Alai hasn't been chosen for an army yet, he is pretty talented. But, if I may say so myself, I believe that I am still a teeny-weeny little bit better. Is that alright?
Sincerely,
Ender
