META POST: Ordo Abchao (Order Out of Chaos)

Hi EHSD fans,

To this point, the chronology of this blog has been fairly easy to follow, since all of my old notebooks/journals/diaries were pretty much kept in order. Every post here tagged Volume 1 was from the first book I used (a fat, little notebook like this), and coincidentally that book filled up just as I was graduating high school.

(Volume 1.5 was some of the loose-leaf entries I would write when I didn't have access to my notebook but needed to get something down)

Volume 2 was from my second notebook, and roughly covers everything from high school graduation through the summer before freshman year of college. (Volume 2.5 is similar to 1.5, but for this era)

Volume 3 was all of the scraps of looseleaf writings that I scribbled together during my freshman year of college. These were fairly organized because I kept them in a folder.

And Volume 4 took place after freshman year, but before my sophomore year of college. I used a red spiral-bound notebook again, and things were once again organized.

After that, things start getting a little more complex. I recently unloaded several notebooks and folders of writings that I was keeping in a box in my trunk out of fear that someone would find them and attribute them to me. Considering only half of these writings have dates on them, I'm going to do my best to keep them in the closest order possible, but since I don't read these entries in full until I transcribe them for this here blog, the order might not be entirely precise.

I'm working on an ordering system for these, and I'll probably re-organize them once they've all been transcribed, and possibly start a whole new blog in which I dole them out one day at a time instead of dumping them all out like this, but for now--courage.

Thanks for your continued interest in my life from a decade ago. Your feedback is invaluable to me. Always feel free to shoot me an email at embarrassinghighschooldiary@gmail.com
