Looking back at my 1984 diary

Last night I decided go back to my diary which I started in 1984. There are not a lot of entries in there, but it's hilarious to go back to. I'm glad I have them because I can remind myself of what it was like to be a pre-teen. I think Joanna will appreciate me having this memory again. The things that I wrote about seemed quite petty, but reading them reminds me of bigger themes in my life. I'm also surprised at my spelling and grammatical errors, although I attribute that to my feeling of being carefree as I was writing. Anyway, I have uploaded some of my diary entries to my "Seed of Anhui" blog, because in a sense, I am also a seed. =) I've intentionally left the grammatical and spelling errors in my entries to keep the authenticity. And to remind myself to have more patience with my kids when they make their mistakes.
