Dear Diary,
Today was about as exciting as most other days, but more painful, because I had a headache all day. Hopefully it’ll be gone by tomorrow.

Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven’t written in so long, that headache I had hasn’t gone away, and I have been to the doctor every other day to find out what’s going on.

Dear Diary,
I feel like my brain is getting crushed. My mom thinks that it is all the studying I’ve done, even though I tell her that all the languages that I’ve learned I’ve learned with little to no study, I’ve learned 20 so far. I think that it is something else, something strange and unusual.

Dear Diary,
That headache is finally gone. It was caused by a special type of encephalitis, or swelling of the brain, and it is actually permanent. The doctors say that it has given me a higher IQ, mine was 134 and it is now 182. Hopefully, I never have to go through that again. The doctors have a special name for it, but I have decided to call it The Pain.
