But he doesn’t seem so far away—

though I haven’t seen him for fourteen days—

because in my heart Michael stays

and there he’ll beat forever always.

I can see I am going to have to work harder if I am to come up with a fitting tribute to my love.

Sunday, January 4 Royal Daily Schedule

9 a.m.–10 a.m.

Mass in Royal Genovian Chapel

I thought going to church was supposed to fill you with a sense of spiritual well-being and succor. But all I feel is sleepy.

10:30 a.m.–4 p.m.

Outing with Monaco’s Royal Family, Royal Genovian Yacht

Why am I the least-tan person in Genovia? And what is up with René and the Speedos? I mean, you can totally tell he thinks he’s all that. And all those girls screaming his name on the dock just encourage him. I wonder if they’d still be so crazy about him if someone told them that I caught René singing an Enrique Iglesias song in front of the mirrored wall in the Reception Room, using my scepter as a pretend microphone?

4:30 p.m.–7 p.m.

Princess lessons with Grandmère

Even in Genovia, it doesn’t end. As if I don’t totally get why everybody is so mad about the whole speech thing. I mean, I have already sworn I will never again veer from the prepared script while addressing the Genovian populace. Why does she have to keep HARPING?

7 p.m.–10 p.m.

Formal dinner with prime minister of France and his family

René disappeared for four hours with the prime minister’s twenty-year-old daughter. They said they just went to play roulette, but if that’s true, why were they smirking so much when they got back? If René doesn’t watch it, he is going to have a Little Prince to look out for, sooner than he thinks.

15 DSLSM

Tried to call him twice today. Michael’s grandmother answered the first time and said Michael had gone to the computer store to buy a new toner cartridge. Then his dad answered and said Michael and Lilly had gone with their grandparents to go see the latest James Bond at the dollar cinema. Lucky ducks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Royal Daily Schedule

8 a.m.–9 a.m.

Breakfast with Royal Genovian Ballet Company

This is the first time I have ever seen René up before 10 a.m.

9:

30 a.m.–Noon

Attend ballet workshops, private performance of Sleeping Beauty

I don’t know if Lilly is right about ballet being totally sexist. I mean, the guys have to wear tights, too. Which is actually too much information, if you know what I mean.

12:30 p.m.–2 p.m.
