I don’t really know how to start this journal as most journals I have done for school work in the past are all related to class activities or homework. However, for this particular journal, Paul, my lecturer for Creative Writing, wanted it to be more personal and about my own life. So yeah… I’m going to try doing just that. Here goes nothing!
Rays of light emerging through the window facing my bed awaked me this morning. I jumped out of bed in shock and looked at the time. It was already 7.30 a.m.! I was going to be late! I ran out of bedroom, grabbed any pair of shirt and jeans that were within my sight and dashed into the bathroom. As I took a quick shower, my mind wandered, searching for the reason why I was late. After a minute or two, I remembered what happened the night before. Doing the heavy workload given for my ‘Typography and Layout’ module exhausted me and by the time I got home, it was already past midnight. I collapsed on my bed with the intention of taking a rest and before I knew it, I was deep in slumber. I cursed myself in my mind as I turned off the shower tap, dried myself with a towel and put on my clothes. My mom looked at me with great amusement in her eyes as I ran around the house like a clown looking for things that I may need for the Creative Writing class. I knew what she was going to say as she opened her mouth in a seemingly slow motion. Before she spilled the words out, I relied her, ”Yes, yes. I know! I’m going to be late! Can you don’t rub salt into my wound?!”
She immediately closed her mouth and gave me a disapproving look. I pretended I didn’t see the look on her face and hurried out of the house to hail a cab…
This is the only event that I can think of writing into the journal so I guess this is the end of my first entry. Hope I have much things to write about tomorrow!
