organization that I had worked for in the past is a great example of an organization behavior gone wrong. It is 6:00 AM on Monday my alarm rings, I turn it off and try going back to sleep. When it dawns on me, I am starting my new job today. I get up quickly and get ready to head out. I am so excited and nervous at the same time that I am shaking. It is five minutes before 8:00 AM. I park my car, and head through the employee entrance. As I walk in I see the same woman that I saw on the 16th June

rooted in me that I could succeed only when I studied well. Under these circumstances, I couldn’t dream of anything else but getting good grades.

first thing to say is, I'm sorry. I know it won't be easy for you to believe after recent events, but I deeply regret the mess I've made and the embarrassment I've caused you. I've had time to turn it all over since I've been here – to be honest, there's not much else to do but ruminate once you've wandered around the market and visited the Orang-utan sanctuary - so I'm writing to try and explain. It's true, Alex and I didn't have the best relationship, but I wasn't the only one in the cast

Today is the first day of the year. I promised to change one thing in the new year. Apparently journaling is fun according to Anna and James, so now I am doing it too. I get it that they think it’s fun, but I just don’t know what the point is. It’s not like anybody is going to read this anyway. I don’t know, maybe they will, but that would not be very fun for them. It’s just a book of my thoughts. Anyway, I don’t think I’m too good at this whole writing thing. You’d think I’d know how to write well
