Journal Magic

Wow, aren't journals amazing? Ok, maybe they are just a book with blank pages in it. Pherhaps they are a little 'old fashioned.' And yes, I have to agree that they do not compare to a laptop computer but I'm so glad for journals.

Yesterday, I was reading one of my old journals and it was so cool. No, I'm not an amazing writer or anything, and my journal would probably be quite boring to anyone else but reading it made me feel like I was there. I could see everything the way it was, well almost. It made me remember almost exactly how I felt. Even though the entries aren't always very descriptive, somehow it helps me to remember things almost exactly. It was sort of like I was living in that moment again.

Its also nice because a lot of that stuff I would of forgotten if I hadn't written it down. It actually surprised me how much I had forgotten from only just a few months or a year ago. A few things in particular I really forgot and I think they are so important.

Journal writing also helps me when I am sad or mad about something. Some times I cannot tell someone how I feel by talking, other times I don't think they would understand or care. It helps me to control my anger too because I can tell my journal anything about someone and what they did that upset me. After writing it all down I usually feel better.

Plus, a journal is always there for a good laugh -- I can't believe some of the silly things I thought or did! I started my first journal when I was 9 (although I didn't really write on a regular basis until a few years ago). I recently found my first journal and laughed SO hard! I made everything REALLY dramatic. You would think I was going through some kind of crisis or something, when really I think I was just mad because I didn't get the part I wanted in theatre!!!

Of course, I would hate it if anyone read my journals for all of these reasons why I love them!!!

Rain, School, Rain

Hey! Its raining here and it has been for the past couple of days. I'm afraid all the lovely snow will be gone soon :(. Although it was fun in the snow I am looking forward to when it gets back to normal again. I usually get tired of the snow after its been here a couple of weeks.

Well, right now I'm in a mad rush to get all my schoolwork done for Semester 1 and start fun-fun Semester 2 (English & Socials!). While I'm super excited about getting rid of these gruesome subjects (science & math lol) I'm NOT looking forward to doing my tests.

Yesterday I got a book called When I grow up, I want to be a Writer. Its a really good book! Btw I want to be a writer so its PERFECT for me. Especially since I've been having a major writing-block lately.

Well I'd better get back to things.

Bye!!
