shanno_polo's Journal

My First Entry
So, I started this Journal as part of a school project researching online journals in general. If anyone wants to tell me what they like best about having an online journal, it would help me tremendously. My name is Shannon and I'm a junior at UCLA. I'm an English major and hope to go into marketing with it (at least thats the plan of the day, it may change sometime soon).
It's been a long time since I've kept a journal of any type. I can't imagine that writing in this will be like writing in any of the diaries i have had in the past, they were definately kept a secret, mainly used as a place to scribble down embarassing thoughts that dont need to be revealed. This will probably be more like the journal I kept while studying in Italy this summer, a collection of happenings throughout the day, week, or however long it takes to get back here.
To start with that, here's to today! I had class from 10 to 2 and woke up feeling extremely sore. I remembered that it was because I went wakeboarding on Saturday. Believe me, even though I feel like I have been hit by a bus, it was amazingly great fun. I was a big girl and put air into my tires. I was doing it wrong, however, and this guy had to help me. But now I know what to do in the future. I went to the bank (to deposit! such a great feeling) and then off to pick up the kids I babysit. Janelle is 10 and such a chatterbox. Hunter is 12 and he kind of does his own thing. I got lucky in that their mom came home right after I did, giving me a few extra hours to study for my midterm tomorrow (which I am apparently not doing...). This was followed by a trip to Trader Joes, the best grocery store, and then home for dinner, studying (which included falling asleep on my book). Now I am off to my salsa dance class, where I will bite my lip to stop from thinking about my aching core and the blisters that will be no doubt forming on my toes. But I will love it, because its dancing, and I always love dancing, no matter what.
