Keeping a journal is a great idea - it'll keep you focused on what to improve on as the season(s) progress.
brandan89,

Sorry but I can't read your article. How old are you? I just finished high school and I've been refereeing throughout it all. So I guess I'm young too, sort of. I've also kept a journal of every game I've ever done. My assignor said he did it when he started, so now I do it. I just started my third notebook.

It's pretty nice, every day I go out to work - if you can call officiating work - I try to think of something I want to improve on, and I put some emphasis on that one point the entire day. Then in my journal I can keep a log of what I've worked on, what I need to work on, what evaluators have said about me, and about the partners I've worked with. It's great. I assume your journal is somewhat the same?
