Suddenly so busy

My life is currently hectic. So busy that I have to write this really fast then get offline cos I have homework. Athletics, babysitting, work etc is on this week and I'm so tired and sore!
Today I had athletics all day, and being sore from training all week certianly did not help. Discus was the biggest fail of my life. I did better in shotput so I'm happy with that. I was official photographer of the day.

ehh I have no time to write! goodnightt

Manners

I have manners. I always have and I always will. I also appreciate and take in what I get taught from my peers.
When I take time out of my day to help people, I expect at least some manners or common courtesy in return. Not shitting me around like I was today. I don't know why I even bother sometimes. I'm not getting any respect.

Just Quickly

I hate the beginning of day light savings. It screws up my sleeping pattern (and not just by an hour) Thismorning I didn't get to sleep until 1am and I had to get up at 5.30am for athletics (joys of my life). So pretty much I'm dead and I swear this happens every year. But after I get over my tiredness, I'll be happier and appreciate the lightness we have now been given :) My sister and I stayed out on the trampoline until 7 this arvo and took like 100 photos, they are so awesome.

The thing is, I don't have much more to say. It's a duck situation about how boring this is.
I will say that I'm pissed because the internet on both the computer and the wireless for the laptop are both incredibly slow and annoying me so much.

Until tomorrow,

Free Stuff

With the pleasant weather upon us, I have taken the time to go out into the sun and appreciate the happiness it brings. The sun makes me feel strong, pleasant and satisfied. Although I feel more depressed in the cold weather, I strangely like it and even welcome it sometimes.

This weekend has taught me the value of what the world offers us for free. Most weekends I spend either in town or at the markets with my friends. But this weekend I spent with my sister at the beach, park and my school fair. It showed me how much happiness a change in my life can bring as I would not normally choose the park over shopping and I wouldn't choose either to go with my sister. But I feel happier now on a Sunday night than I have in a long time.

What I'm trying to say is that there are so many free things out there that I can honestly say I take for granted. Changing up my weekend was the perfect way to reflect on my life right now and gave me some peace. It was also a lot cheaper and I got more exercise from walking to and from places.

Next weekend we are planning as a family to go to my shack. In the past I have regretted this because there is no internet, telephone or indoor bathroom. But this time I'm going to embrace what the shack offers and appreciate where I live in the world. I will post pictures next week :)

Tara the Tramp

I went through a fad earlier in the year of naming significant objects. When we got our trampoline, I named her Tara the Tramp. Not because I think Tara is a trampish name, it just fit and I love it :) Through the monthes of owning a trampoline, I have mentally noted some of the benefits of having one. Here are some:

1. Probably the best reason for owning a trampoline is because it is a great source of exercise (without getting very puffed out) A person who is 60kg burns approximately 220 calories an hour. You pretty much don't even realise you're exercising.

2. For me, it's a place that I can go for some time to myself without actually leaving my residence. Sometimes I just need to get away from people and give 15 minutes to myself to think and contemplate. I have made many hard decisions whilst lying on my trampoline.

3. My sister and I have spent more time together actually communicating. This has led to easier communication inside the house as well and I feel we are now closer :)

4. And lastly, it's fun! It's so much fun going so high, making routines and learning new tricks. I love taking my friends and family on it :)

A post about the weather

It's so sunny here. For Tasmania it is so rare for it to be warm, sunny, not windy and it's not Summer! I should be outside, basking in the sun, but I tried that before and got a headache. I might go for a walk, to the beach and get an icecream. Hopefully everyone will be inside watching the Grand Final instead of invading the beach. I should really do some homework. But what to start with? Maths? English? Japanese? Business?...I might go with English, it's the easiest. This post is boring because I'm bored. Sorry!

(p.s.) turns out my jelly was melon flavoured...

Regret

I admit, I do regret staying up til 4am thismorning on the net, and I don't know why, but I really just felt like it! I ended up getting around 6 hours sleep, which I guess is pretty decent. Of course I'm daily-boothing right now and also youtubing.

It's been suggested to me by many people who have read this that I should switch to tumblr as you apparently get more followers and hence (and hopefully) more readers. So I'm taking that into consideration and may join up later today if I'm heavily procrastinating with my homework. Which, I admit, is bound to happen. But it'll get done, because it always does :)

I also think I'll do some cooking today. I feel like baking a cake and sharing it with my family for dessert :) I'm going to look up recipes now...I made lime jelly last night and I'm about to go upstairs and see how it turned out. I'll re-post with my sucess/unsucess in the kitchen.

Self Inflicted Insomniac

So I'm starting this at 1:38am Saturday morning as I don't feel like sleeping and I have nothing better to do. I am actually obsessed with dailybooth now and have posted like over 20 photos tonight. I can't believe I'd never heard of it before! I think it's a great concept and idea and I can't wait to use it everyday :) What I think I'm looking forward to most is being able to look back at it in a few monthes time and see all my pictures. It'll be like an online photo album! I actually love it. I completed 5 more photos of my list of 30 photos to put up on dailybooth. Number 2 is: A photo of yourself a year ago. Here it is:

If you know me personally, you know that I have a very silly personality and I love acting childish. This was at Julz's going away party and I was in the middle of a waterfight :)

I have also just realised that I've had one earphone in my ear for the last hour without listening to any music or youtube. But I think I'll keep it in there because I like it :)

I'm trying to plan what I'm going to do for the rest of the day as I haven't done anything interesting all week. But right now I think I'm just going to be staying at home sleeping and catching up on homework (as if it's going to happen). I don't actually think I can bring myself to endure another grandfinal. But I'm saying now that I reckon Saints will win by about 3 goals. But I want Collingwood to win.

1st of October - Happy Birthday Charlie McDonnell and Jimmy Carter (personal joke)

So I went back to school today after 6 days off sick. It's always so weird coming back to school after a period of being unwell. Things feel so out of place and I'm never used to not being able to eat or do whatever I want whenever I want. It's different to coming back from school holidays as everyone is going through the same withdrawal symtoms. But today, as I have felt of many occassions, I felt low and out of place. My day actually ended up pretty well as it was pretty cruisy and I have found I'm not as behind on my work as I thought I was!

I have found a website (again thanks to Lucy SJ) that excites me a lot.
www.dailybooth.com

Well that's all for today, I just made lime jelly and have to wait another 3 and a half hours to let it set. I'm contemplating cooking some dinner as my parents aren't home yet. But I think I'd rather youtube.
