I really didn't like this journal entry because although it met the requirements, I felt that it was really weak and very repetitive. I wrote this really fast and didn't really think about what I was writing about until I reached the conclusion. I liked how I edited it because I felt like my edits represented my writing better than it had before. I wrote about vanilla and at first, I thought I would write about some life events that triggered my memory when I smelled vanilla, but as I reached the end of the piece, I wanted to relate it more to present day. So I fixed all the grammatical errors and made it relative to now.
