Today I read Diary of a wimpy kid the last straw, for 20 minutes and read from pages 164 to 193. Here is what I read: Gregory has a huge problem, his dad is signing him up for military school and for him as a new recruit, he has to start on the first day of summer break. Greg quickly hatched a plan to try and get out of military school by joining the boy scouts. He wanted to join a certain pack because they are always having parties and other stuff like that. So he had to distract his dad a lot so he wouldn't have to join the boring pack that does nothing but community work. He tried to go camping but he got sick,and his dad got stuck with the 2 worst campers in the pack. They were so horrible, that one of them had to go to the emergency room. Then, Greg tried to impress his dad again, to get out of military school but in the end, that failed too. Finally, Greg tried to work up the nerves to talk to a girl that he likes on the phone, but it didn't work out too well.
