Dear Diary,
big news! now i have a hit counter on my website. that means i will be able to tell how many people come to my website everyday. my guess is 300 or 400. maybe more, it depends. so for there has only been three (and they have been me, it counts one everytime i go check to see how many people have been there.)
I am terribly impressed with myself and my computer expertise lately. pictorials, hit counter, what's next, perhaps a guestbook? lets not set the bar too high here.
Today i made a mistake. I went out to dinner, ordered a burrito, and after i got it i realized that it was exactly what i could have gotten in the cafeteria at my school. What was I thinking, bean and cheese burrito? next time, it's tacos for sure.
Love,
Diana

Dear Diary,
I DON'T like canoeing and i didn't want to go anyway.
Love,

Dear Diary,
I was thinking about the cafeteria at my school, and how there are so many resources there! they try to feed you gross stuff, like turkey hummus wraps in a sundried tomato tortilla, but you don't have to eat that. there are ways to beat the system. if you bring the wrap people some bread from the toast area, they will make you a normal sandwich! I think i've thought of the most brilliant way to beat the system yet. so i'm going to go over to the wrap line, and grab some cheese. then i'm going to take it over to the bread area, and make a cheese sandwich. Then i will proceed to run it through the little converyor belt toaster, as a sandwich, and if all goes according to plan, i am fairly confident this should turn into a grilled cheese. I'll try this at lunch and tell you how it goes.
love,
diana

Dear Diary,
I am on a difficult cell phone sabbatical. Which means for a few days instead of being a cell phone junkie (which i am), i will be playing frisbee, reading Tolstoy, and studying very hard. Maybe I will see another movie. Speaking of movies, big news! In Portland, besides the obvious perk of having no sales tax, with valid student ID, (which I have) you can get into movies for $6.50! Even at night! It's good to see that my decison to pursue higher education is paying off already.
Love,
Diana

Look at my friends! it's Mari and Lucio. (Lucho) He's an Italian isn't that nice? They met two years ago in romantic Italy and they fell in love. He came all the way to Lewis and Clark just for her. Wow.

dear diary,
college is hard. i feel like i'm supposed to be very happy and excited but i am not. i am homesick and the adjustment has been and is very difficult. the saddest thing to think about (well, second saddest) is how my room at home was all bare when i left it. If i went home i would be greeted by emptyness where there used to be familiarity. I think that when i go home for fall break i will try and fix that empty feeling in my room.
i am certain that everyone has tons of friends and i know few people. everyone is excited and i am not. i just need to keep myself occupied but it is hard with all of this extra time on my hands and these sad thoughts running rampant in my head.
love,
diana

look i braided my hair! and i'm winking at you! (i'm not terrific at winking so you might not have noticed.)

dear diary,
i have so much time to do my homework that i don't think i will do it ever. i will just play on the internet and have finger puppet shows instead.
love,
diana

dear diary,
today i went to see a LAME movie. my roommate liked it which is too bad because i thought we were friends, but now i think she's an idiot.
love,
