Book Report Crazy Ain t It - 1203 Words

WELL ACTUALLY that’s not all I’m going to tell about. These psychoanalyst guys think it would be good for me to write more journal entries. They claim it’s good for my emotions and all that crap. I m not buying it. This entire process is stupid but hey if writing more gets me out of this crazy place faster; why the hell not. Sometimes I wonder why I’m even in this situation.
