Diaries...

We are finally moved back into our rooms after 4-ish months of sleeping on the couch...I thought this day would NEVER come! As I was going through the boxes to put stuff away, I found my diaries that I had written in when I was in the 4th grade. I never really noticed how long I've liked writing, I guess it started young, and I am still journaling my heart out! The entries are hilarious, filled with important information like-- the current guy i like, and what I'm having for dinner. From reading these entries, I can see that I am on the same, and continuous track for my life that I was on at that age. For example, I wrote when I was 8 yrs. old, that I was mad at my sister for wasting a paper bag. And, these days I've really been into ecology. I also remember that when I would be writing, I would be so worried about spelling words wrong (which I absolutely did! For example, Diry {Diary}, Right {Write}, Axedent {Accident}) and I am still completely obsessed with the English language. It's weird how you think you change so much when you grow up, but after reading these diaries, I doubt it. I think that I will continue journaling until I am a little old lady. It's fun to see where you've been, how you were, what bothered you, what excited you, what you looked forward to, and how it all played out.
