November 10 is not the best date to start a diary, I admit. It would be perfect to start it on January 1, right on the very first day of New Year. But, meh – who am I kidding? You know it too, I’ve never been a good journalist. I’ll keep the writing track perfectly until probably February or March, and then I’ll start skipping some days because I’m busy – okay, lazy – and before I realize it, I’ll have skipped the whole month of May and continue writing again on June 8, simply because it’s my birthday, and then I’ll skip writing again till Christmas.

So, rather than forcing myself to make a perfect start, which by the way doesn’t always end as perfectly, I’ve decided to just start writing now. It’s November, the National Writing Month – in America, at least – and I think 10 is a quite pretty number, so welcome to the diary weekly journal of Jennie Rusli!

PS: I planned to write my first entry with more than what I’ve written above, including the classic sentence, “it’s 4 in the morning and I still don’t feel like sleeping”. But the truth is, it’s 4 in the morning and I’m sleepy. So I’ll see you again next week. And trust me, I'm really trying keep my writing track well this time.

Ciao!
