Dear Diary,

God I feel stupid just writing that. Diaries are so not my thing!

Apparently my little incident with Mia outside the church yesterday didn't go unnoticed. (Like it's my fault she's determined to piss me off?) As a result, I got another lecture on not being ruled by my emotions.

To make matters worse, someone had the bright (note the sarcasm) idea that writing my feelings down might help me with my so-called 'impulse issues'. Supposedly, if I write everything down at the end of the day, I can look back and see what set me off and then make a conscious decision to try and control myself the next time a similar situation arises.

Personally, I think it's a load of zen crap, but since Dimitri asked me to do it, I'll give it my best shot. He's the only one in this whole damn school that's willing to give me a chance—to help me to prove to Kirova and the others that I have what it takes to protect Lissa. You'd think that keeping her alive for two years out in the real world would be looked on as a positive, but instead they all focus on the fact I put her in danger in the first place.

Anyway, I'm beat and have to get up for training in a few hours, so—

Later!

Rose


A/N: These were used as an exercise at getting into the characters heads and were previously posted on one of my RP accounts (the Dimitri entries were posted on my friend Aleks' account, but I wrote them for him) and someone asked me to please post them here so they could find them all in one place. I have over a hundred of these written, and will try to add one or two a day, depending on my schedule and how my mom is feeling—aka if real life gives me a chance to do fun stuff.
