Dividing a diary-format novel into parts?

What does everyone think of dividing a diary-type novel into parts? I thought of dividing mine into three parts:

1. The Lady's Got Potential (covers months of campaign preparation and Che's involvement with propaganda broadcasts. A coup.)

2. Dice Are Rolling (political infighting as the campaign starts to heat up. Ends in the establishment of a new junta)

3. High Flying Adored (turning point of campaign)

Yep, all named after Evita songs.

Well, if your just presenting it as a diary that seems kind of silly, but if you present the diary as a historical document then that makes perfect sense.

@Jude: It's a straight diary thing.

They're already divided into many tiny parts called entries. Do whatever you want.

Thanks.

Have you read I Capture the Castle? It's a diary-format novel which is divided into three parts in a very simple and sensible way: according to the different diaries the narrator is writing in. It also allows time-skips, as she finishes one notebook, stops writing for a while, then gets given a new one as a present and thinks she might start writing a diary again, etcetera.

@cityofmist: I've heard of it. Will try and check it out.
