ExplaDear Diary,

I think I did something really foolish.  

You know what, NO, I was helping my friend Bassanio, it wasn’t naive. I’m only saying this because I’m scared, frightened, terrorized. The thing is that I’m petrified because my good old friend needed to borrow three thousand ducats and no wasn’t an answer.

Anyhow, all of my money is on ships “sailing” back to me, so I made a deal with ill-minded and heartless Shylock to lend money to my friend. Although he told me not to because something could go very wrong, I insisted and signed the contract. This horrendous monster and I signed the bond together and it stated that, if I wasn’t able to pay him back what I owed to him (two days ago), I would have to pay him with one pound of my flesh.
