Han Solo Journal: Friday January 19, 1665 Entry One I just got off the boat for the first time in five days! It feels great to be able to stretch my legs. It was so stuffy on the way over. People were sick and/or dying all around. It smelt urine and other bodily fluids. I came alone, but I hear the there are girls all around. I want to go and get one for myself so I can have some kids, and start a family. The first thing I need to do is go and meet my new Seigneur, Obi Wan Stevobi. He will be the one that pays my bills, if I pay my weekly dues to him, that is. The weather here seems to be the exact same as, or harsher than what I came from. I am one of the many habitants living here in New France, so I better start making friends. I have just gotten here in time for a new harvest. Everyone is talking about what type of seeds are the best; I have heard mostly about corn so that is what I am going with. I need to think of what kind of house I want to live in… I know! I will live in a log house, but that means I have to go and cut down some trees. Well if it means living and dying I think I will go with living. The hard part is that I have no trees on my part of land. Maybe I could go and ask my new friend Jaques Jagueson. Yeah, he would let me use some of his trees; he has a whole forest on his property. Well journal I got to get going because I need to start on my house and my harvest. See ya.

Tuesday August 4, 1665 Entry Ninety-Two Hey journal, so today is the day that we harvest our crops. It was a good idea that I listened to what people told me the first day I got here or else I would of ended up with a dead crop like most of the people here. I was lucky and got the tip that corn does really well here so I am going to have a great first harvest. I have gotten my house built and I have found a little girl. Her name is Marie. She has come from France to come and serve men as their wives. She is now pregnant with either my first son or daughter. We hope we can get enough money from our Siegneur, Obi Wan Stevobi, so we can afford to make one more bedroom in our small cabin. I may need to go and ask my friends if they can help to lug all my harvest up to the mill so I can grind it down, and pay the siegneur. Then once this is all done my wife and I are going to go down to the town and have a nice dinner and I will probably buy her a new dress and food for breakfast for tomorrow morning. Well I got to go and get my guys to lug the huge lot up to the mill so see ya.
