Back to the daily grind... and Diaries

Back to school on Monday and I'm not one bit looking forward to the amount of work I will have to copy up. But is it really the copying up? Most of it is coursework though so I don't really know. Copying myself up perhaps maybe a better phrase to use instead.
Boring old week again. It gets more and more boring as you get better. It's like no mans land. You feel too sick to work, but feel too better to sleep all day so you end up in the middle were you need some brain stimulation but not too much of course to hurt the ol' brain cells.

Yesterday I was considering about writing again. I have this old diary I used to keep since I was in P.5 when I got it for my birthday and every now and again I put in a new entry. I don't write in it everyday because I'm not really an interesting person and it's usually maybe only a weekly or monthly occurance that something happens that would be interesting to write about.
So anyways, I'm thinking about writing in it more fequently. The book I have is really quite annoying. There's no ruled lines and it's a hard back so it's difficult to write in and be comfortable writing. Another thing is, is that I can type faster and it's easier, so getting my thoughts out is smoother and not just pick the most interesting thoughts to write down. My hand writing is terrible so thats another thing that puts me off. I can also touch type on the laptop so I can watch TV and type at the same time and multitask (just did there now).
However I do like the traditional sense of writing because it is a lot more personal with the handwriting and everything and I like it more. I could just change my book and I would be able to do that if I wrote in my old one more and also I could try different pens to maybe help me write better (yes I blame my tools) and also if I traditionally write, it would help improve my handwriting after a while and slow my thoughts so it's not constantly racing and narrating every second of my day.

Why do I want to write?
I want to write because I just like writing for the craic and to get some of my thoughts down and it helps to wind down after a long day. It could also come as a backup if I'm out of a job and I could go into journalism or even writing professionally like a novel. Writing helps in so many ways and with the over taking of the new craze of blogging and the computer, the traditional sense of writing a diary or personal writing has gone down hill. However with blogging it has opened up new possibilities for people who never knew they could write as much and even grab the publics interest.
I like traditional writing because it's more personal and it's in decline. Many actors and comedians wrote diaries during their most troubled times in the career, and without their diaries we wouldn't really know or understand what they went through and it opens up to us their true feelings.
I want to look back at my diaries and read them and maybe even publish them if that's possible when I'm a lot older. I would like people to read my diaries after I've gone, because if there was a shocking moment, I don't have to worry about it and all's good.

So the question is...
Modern or Traditional? What do you think?
