I can’t believe I actually forgot to write my diary yesterday—what a crime! Still, I have to admit, it’s kind of amazing that I managed to keep it up for this long before slipping. That small victory makes me oddly proud. Anyway, before anything else, I’d better make up for the missing entry.

To be honest, these kinds of diary entries are the easiest to write. They don’t require any real thinking—just a constant use of the language part of my brain to translate thoughts into words, one after another.
