Secrets

Depending on how bad the secret, sometimes I will lose sleep over it, feeling guilty or bad for keeping the secret. If I feel like I'm holding a secret that wouldn't really affect anyone but myself, I usually just get over it.

When I hold a secret for a friend, I never tell unless it is for their own good. It's hard when you know you have to keep a friend's secret, but by holding this secret you could really hurt them more than by telling someone. You always want your friends to confide in you and trust that you'll keep your secret, but sometimes the right thing to do is to tell.

The Scarlet Letter

So far, I think the novel is good, however it is not interesting me as much as other books we've read, like The Great Gatsby. I like the ideas and how it is about sin, but I don't think the plot line has really grabbed me...yet. Although, it is sometimes hard to understand, I do think it's extremely beautifully written. The flow of words really adds to the feeling of the novel.

My New Year's Resolution

I've been thinking about what my New Year's Resolution would be for a while now. This happens every year: I try to decide on a resolution and try to follow through with it and it works for about a day. This year, I have a few things I'd like to resolve. One of them is this problem. I'd like to actually pursue my resolutions this year. I'd also like to do better in history. This is important to me because history is the one class I truly don't understand but definitely could try harder to. I'm going to study harder for tests and quizzes and try to pay more attention in class.

Happy New Year.
