- I am nearing the end of my four years of job training. Only one more month left until i start my new job as a scientist that changes the physical characteristics of people who were born with anything other than blonde hair and blue eyes. Lemurtonville has a specific rule you must live by; blonde hair and blue eyes.
The alarms that wake everyone up in the city for school, job training, and work, rang loudly at 6 o'clock in the morning today. I quickly got dressed and headed out the door. The streets were busy as usual, since every person in the community goes to where they need to go at the same time. I get to job training five minutes early. It was a long day, but today I learned how to change the eye color. I even got to do my first eye change on a real person today. They had beautiful, deep olive green eyes, but no matter what i had to change them to blue. Tomorrow i'm learning the other part of the physical change procedure; hair change. I know it would be easier just to dye their hair color every month, but the government ruled that that would cost too much money, so we ended up having to go into their brains and change their hair color completely. It's a very confusing process.
When it turned 3 o'clock, everyone bolted out the door, since it's the time that everyone in the community is done with all work, school, or training. Everyone either went home to either relax or get ready to go out with friends. I went out with Barb and Kylie. We went out to the movies and out to eat after, but we had to make sure to leave and go home by 11 o'clock, since the whole town had to be home and in bed by midnight. Today was a great day, but it's getting close to bedtime, so goodnight.

- The past few years i've been enjoying life with friends and family, working, and not worrying about what's next to come. Let me tell you, it's been a magnificent couple years, but i went to bed last night full of thoughts about what i was going to do for my 23rd birthday tomorrow, not knowing that my life would be changed completely instead.
The next morning, i woke up an hour before the alarms went off because i heard a repetitive knocking at my door. I quickly open the door to find a government official standing there telling me to get ready, hurry, and not to ask questions. I think i've had too much fun in the past few years, because it seems i have forgotten to even think about looking for a life partner.
In Lemurtonville, if you are not married by the age of 23, the government puts you with another single citizen in the community. Shortly after i figured out my purpose of being with this official, i met my husband as of now. He's tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, and the most gorgeous man ever. The government actually paired me with someone more than decent. His name is Jason. I think this might not be so bad after all. Well i better go to bed. I have a big wedding tomorrow; mine.

- I woke up this morning thinking that today would start off like any other day; Wake up at 6 o'clock, go to work, come home and relax the rest of the night with Jason. But the day did not go like that at all. I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning from throbbing stomach pains. I have been pregnant for about nine months, so I knew that I was getting contractions. Jason woke up and rushed me to the hospital. I sat in the hospital bed for hours that seems like years.
It seemed like everything happened so fast. One minute i was taking a nap, the next minute i was having a baby. We named the new baby girl Kaelyn. She was a beautiful blonde girl with big, sweet olive green eyes. She was the cutest baby i've ever seen, but there was one problem; I would not get to see her for a long time. The doctors will take her to bring her to get her eye color changed to blue. I, personally, would love for her to keep her green eyes, but the government must take her and make her like everyone else. The baby will be back in our arms before we know it.
Well, i better go to bed so I can stop thinking about the situation, so goodnight.
