A day in my life which describes the first stanza in the poem "Count That Day Lost":
7\4\2012
Dear diary,
The big math exam is in two more days, I found myself spending the whole weekend learning. I believe that I will get an appropriate grade according to my efforts. I usually make sure that the day before the test is free, to clear my mind and relax. As a result, my test goes well. That's the reason why I began learning for the test earlier. Tomorrow,while everybody will be learning, I will be shopping with my best friend Shani.

It's close to midnight right now. I am sitting on my bed and many negative thoughts cross my mind about the exam tomorrow. However, I know I am going to fall asleep with a big smile on my face. I did a good deed.
Today, while I was on my way home from school, talking with Shani on the phone about the shopping we were planning today, I noticed that one of my classmates was sitting on the staircase and crying. Immediately I went over, even though I didn't really like her, I wanted to help her. She told me she had had a conversation with our math teacher, and realized that if her exam's grade was less than eighty five she would not continue studying with us. She felt helpless because she didn't understand the material well enough.
I picked up the phone and cancelled my plans with Shani. I offered my classmate help and invited her to my place. We covered all the material and she thanked me for it. She was full of joy and there was light in her eyes. Even though I needed the evening off for myself, to feel relaxed in order to improve my chance to succeed in the test, I preferred doing a good deed for someone. I'm proud of myself for that.
Another day in my life which reflects the second stanza in the poem "Count That Day Lost":
26\1\2012
Dear diary,
Another day has gone by. It was just a regular day like any other day. I didn't feel like doing anything special. The moment I entered my room, I lay down on the bed, turned on the TV. While I was watching a romantic movie, I fell asleep and woke up because of the sweet smell of dinner which father had prepared. My mother noted it was time for dinner and asked me to sit with my family, but I didn't feel like it so, I took a bowl of pasta to my room and ate it while I was reading my favorite magazine. Mother was hurt but said nothing.
I was asked to do the dishes after the meal. However, I told my mother that I would help her with household chores another time, just not today. Again, I could sense her disappointment and dissatisfaction with me.
Later, I found myself talking on the phone with my best friend for two hours! It was already late and I decided to take a long shower and my sister was mad at me for using the hot water. She asked me for some help with her homework, with a difficult article she had to write but I refused because I was too tired.
Now, I am lying on my bed, listening to some music and suddenly I realize that I forgot to do my homework for tomorrow! My day just flew by, and I am asking myself: did I do anything positive today? Am I proud of myself for anything? It seems that it was a worthless a meaningless day. Pretty much like any of my days…I believe it's about time I stop thinking only about myself, it's time for a change and it is up to me.
Very good work. I enjoyed reading that.
