This is my first entry so I think it’s quite understandable if it doesn’t get too long as what normal diaries look like. (Is there even a set of standards for writing diaries that I don’t know about?) But actually, here are some more pertinent reasons:
1. I don’t have much time at the moment to write a lengthy entry.
2. Since I describe my diaries as scanty, I want it to look a bit less like the usual diary. I know, the premise is not as impressive… at least, I’ve got an idea!
3. My phone’s battery is already critically low so the faster I get done with this, the better.
I’m not that keen on writing a diary or a journal well because my life isn’t that exciting and I do the same stuffs everyday. Why keep track? I mean, my routine is boring and tedious enough nevermind writing it down daily for me to what? To confide into myself? To keep? To hide from other people?
But due to some unforseen circumstances, I kind of got jealous seeing people sort of writing diaries online and telling the whole world how their day has been. I went from commenting, “It’s needless for you to post that on the internet” to muttering, “Oh, that’s really cool. It makes people think that you’ve made good use of your time for the past 24 hours. Now everyone thinks you’re a visionary with exceptionally good plans in life.”
That lead to the birth of My Scanty Diaries. Silly, I know. I just wanted to roll on, really. So… as I’m writing this, I’m feeling extremely nervous and dreadful because tomorrow is Monday, which means school, which means my brains are back to getting knackered.
Not that I hate school… I just can’t accept that holliers are over! I’m so gonna miss the foods I only get to eat on Christmas and New Year’s Eve!
Oh whatever, it’s not like I just can skip classes whenever I want. Education is very important. I’d rather spend my day at school than to sleep all day long in the comfort of our house. That’s so unproductive. How will I get rich if I don’t go to school and study hard? How will I get to buy all the books I’ve been dying to buy because I messed up and dropped out of school? Okay, that’s very unlikely. I love school. I just can’t be bothered to exhaust my brain cells tomorrow and in the following days, weeks and months.
Wait, this is getting a bit long now. Shall I say goodbye now? Ah, okay… hasta la vista! (I like to say in Spanish).
