Journal Entry About Journals (An English Journal Post)

[Read/Mark this one:  A]

This is a journal entry about journal entries.  I don't enjoy writing in a journal for school.  Why, you may ask?  Well, I'll tell you.  When I am writing in my journal at home, I know that no one is going to read it, I know that I can write about anything and no one will be offended.

When I write at school, what I say has to be guarded because I know that you are likely to read it.  Some of the topics require personal information and opinions that I may not wish to share, yet I almost find myself doing so anyways. [Check, smilie]

I think a journal is a good idea, but the topics should possibly be more fun, like, "What if a space shuttle were to land on earth from another galaxy?" [Maybe we'll do that one]

I am into topics that are deeper than than, but I can't always express my feelings or opinions on them easily when I know there is going to be someone reading it. [Check. Yes.]

And...

I never get to hear what you think about the topics that we have to write about!  It is hard to have a one-way conversation with a piece of paper through a pencil!

Okay, I have just learned that I can't write my journal is class when there are other people talking.  I keep wanting to write down the words that people are saying.

Okay, this is it, no more, the lights are gone, this is it!

[Well written, Cassandra... a very thoughtful piece about journals.]
