Dear diary,
Tomorrow is December 21, 2012. The day that we are all supposed to die. I am so scared that I will lose my life. There have been a ton of news stories of why we should believe this and why we should believe that. The only reason this is happening is because it is the end of both the Mayan and the Aztec Calendar. People predicted that the world would end a bunch of times, but this one seems a lot more real. Like they predicated 1980 something, 2000, and now this. To be honest I don’t think it will happen but you just never know. Si I am going to tell you all the stuff I wanted to do before I dies, which has now proved too impossible.
1.
Get married and have a family
2.
Graduate high school with an amazing boyfriend and on honors roll
3.
Go to The University of Santa Barbra
4.
Go to Harvard for law school
5.
Become an amazing lawyer
6.
See the Eiffel tower
7.
See the Great pyramids
8.
See Rome in General
9.
Surf in Australia
10.
Eat Chinese for in china
11.
Eat pizza and pasta in Italy
12.
Visit and do stuff in a bunch of random places
13.
Watch all of those movies in that big book of Movies you must watch before you die
14.
Throw a huge party
15.
Go to the Olympics to watch
16.
Send a message in a bottle
17.
Learn to speak Ukrainian, just because
18.
Be an extra on a movie
19.
Kiss a complete random person
20.
And learn to love myself for who I am
There is so much more I wanted to do in my life and I am only a sophomore in high school. There are so many things I haven’t done, experienced or discovered. And now I am going to die. So goodbye diary and goodbye earth. It has been a short ride, but a good one.

Dear Diary,

It is December 22, 2012 and I am not dead. It turns out the whole thing was just stupid. So now I am going to work on that list.

I like it.  Especially the end, number 20. It's a cute story, sorta.  I don't believe the world will end, but who knows.  Actually, no one does.

Seems most of the things like this lack a plot, like you said. It's getting on my nerves. But hey, I didn't know the aztec calender was ending as well. But you do have to realize that it was centuries ago, and even Eurepean (yes, I just forgot how to spell that) were inaccurate at best. So the aztecs must have really had problems, even though some people say that aliens helped 'em out.

Interesting, not sure if it's an actual list or not and I'm sure there's more meaning behind what you've try to say here.

Besides the few grammical errors such as unneeded S's and the like. What you could do is an entire diary of every day leading up to December 21st and have December 22nd be the last page. Something to that extent would give the story much more meaning.
