Journal

Part of my class has been spent on these journal entries that to be honest at first I detested. Yes reader I must be honest with you, as a man with as many classes as I do, I found it a waste of time and energy invested into writing those entries when I could be doing other things like studying for chemistry, Calculus 2 or Programming since those other classes were far more useful to me. Don't get me wrong I do love writing, its an addiction really, but my natural sense of rebellion makes me hate any attempt that forces me to do something at a given time. I naturally enjoy roaming free and going where my pen takes me in this wondrous creative world. That being said, it became so difficult, even frustrating, for me to work on the journal, it made me anxious and nervous having to be restricted and obligated to do something.

In a way this work taught me a lesson on how the real world is like, not always we will agree with what we are ordered to do, nor will we like it as well, but in this world we have to do things we don't like or don't want to achieve our goals. I hated this work from the bottom of my soul, enough for me to write a short story per entry instead, yet I respected the work due to the lesson it taught me, honestly I don't feel comfortable sharing some information on the entries with you readers per say due to how personal it is and what i wrote shouldn't see daylight at all. That being said, after I got accustomed to the journal i wrote some pretty deep things about myself and how I viewed the world, I learned new things about me that i never knew. I also learned about my own flaws due to this method, I we are our best critiques when it comes to seeing what is wrong with us.

In the end I did enjoy the journal, though I would never, ever, do this again, seriously it was too stressful to keep up with. Id rather write as I please and criticize myself as I see fit.

    It's good to know that you said, in the end, that you did enjoy the journal and that you learned from it as well. It also says a lot from the fact that it is written from the point of view of someone who has so much other work, it becomes overwhelming at some point, so maybe if you had less work to do in other classes you would have opened up more from the beginning and wouldn't had hated it so much at the start, just a possibility.

    I shared the same PoV as you at first, yet I managed to like my Journal a little faster than most. I too have written some deep emotional stuff in my Journal, yet I wouldn't feel horrified if it were to get out, I believe. I think I'm going to continue to write in it as you said, in my own pace.

    I also disliked writing the journal. It never helped me feel better and I felt I was wasting time that I could have spent doing other things.
