Collection of pure Jabberwocky.
What's 'Jabberwocky' you say? I'm not telling you. Ha. Okay, okay, it means a collection of words that make no sense. Which is a precise description of this thing. Good luck reading it.
Why the Eff was I so illiterate?
"Wow. Look at this crap." was all I could think of while perusing my journal which contained my comments from yesteryear. ( My last comment started in March of last year.)

Hmm... Well this entry /really/ has no purpose, other than to complain about my former illiteracy and maybe as a "look-back" (for lack of a better word) to the past.

Isn't it funny how much I've changed since Gaia?

Granted, I believe I'm less shy and a bit more outgoing, but at the same time, I've gained severe "Sophmore-itis" and my time management hasn't improved a bit. And, I still have "Peter Pan Syndrome", which is linked to my laziness and poor time management skills.

I wish I had cool journal entries like some of my other friends. Xumbra's journal, for example. I looked at his and it blew me away. I'm not asking to suddenly develop his abilities, but for me to develop my own special abilities.

What I really want is to break out of this "Pact" (for lack of a better word) of mediocrity I've developed, but I'm too afraid to do so.

What should I do?

( See, I can't even keep my journal entries organized. I feel I have to write as the thoughts come to me, instead of thinking and sorting out my thoughts beforehand.
Maybe with practice, I'll become a better writer [or in this case, typer] and I'll finally be able to write more effectively and finally ace those damn "Timed writes" in my English class. Because I know that I won't survive in AP English 11 next year without honing that skill.)

Well, all I can do now is hope that evrything will turn out okay, since I don't know the steps I can take to achieve my goals.

You won't believe how I started writing on Gaia. Don't worry about how bad you are. We are each our own worst judge. Your writing is fine.

Instead, think of what you can do. You know lots of SAT words. Yes, yes you do; you just don't pay attention to them, but you know what they are in the back of your mind. Use them.

That's the only thing I did. Seriously. I've only tried to use as much vocabulary as possible. It was my way of showing off, I guess. I didn't mean to sound arrogant when I said that.

Whatever you do, concentrate on one thing at a time. For me, it was vocabulary.

It's not as easy as it looks. I'm still not ready. I may never be.

My advice still applies: concentrate on one thing at a time.
