Doing Something Different Each Day of December

So this month I was going to do something different each day. But yesterday I simply didn't have time to learn how to tune and play my GREEN ukulele :) Today I'm making sand bottles which I feel will be very challenging. If I have time left after making the sand bottles and making my video about them, I may try out my ukulele.

This is just a quick post about my ideas for December. I want to do it to make my holidays seem more interesting as I'm no going away on holidays. I don't want to waste my holidays on TV  and the internet.

Feel free to follow me and my progress :)
I also make daily videos on Youtube about the things I'm doing each day in December.

2022 Soccer World Cup

Japan
Korea
Qatar
USA
Australia

So it was announced yesterday that Qatar would host the 2022 Soccer World Cup. Being an Australian and a soccer lover, I should probably be disappointed, but after comparing the videos of the Australian and Qatar campaigns, I have to agree with the decision at hand. Australia's video was corny, poorly put together, and showed successful Australian (such as Cathy Freeman and Ian Thorpe.) It showed nothing about how much Australian's love their soccer and how big a part it plays in so many young Australian's lives. After seeing the video last night, I was left thoroughly disappointed in the end result. I decided then that we did not deserve to win the bid, as we looked greedy and boastful.

I don't know much about Qatar, but from some of the campaign commercials I have seen, they have proven to me that they are a soccer loving country. Their commercials had the exact content that Australia's SHOULD have had. It will also be a boost for Qatar's soccer and (hopefully) economy. I also liked the idea that after the world cup, they will be donating their soccer stadiums to less fortunate countries. I think this is a really nice idea and shows the connection they have will their neighbouring countries.

Last night I thought about who I would like to host the world cup out of the five candidates. My personal preference would have been Japan. As I will be 28 at the time, it will probably be a perfect opportunity to go to the world cup, as I have always wanted to. I absolutely adore Japan so going there to the world cup would have been wonderful. Alas, it is being held in Qatar, which now interests me and I am seriously considering going :)

Eclipse

So I actually bought Eclipse at a spur of the moment thing as it was at a really cheap price. After watching Eclipse again, I've realised that the movies are very similar and tend to begin and end quite the same. I think I only like Eclipse because of the introduction of the newborns and how they act. I've come to realise that the wolves, newborns, Cullens and Volturi interest me more than Bella and Edward's love story. I would love for the movies to include more in depth about these things instead of the love story. Learning visually about Jasper and Rosalie's backgrounds in Eclipse is really cool and is one aspect of why Eclipse is my favourite Twilight movie so far.

My School Holidays

So today is my first day of school holidays. I want to write down some goals for these holidays. Because usually I have everything running all through my head and my goals never eventuate to much. I want to make the most of these holidays, as the next 2 years are going to be a lot of hard work.

Goals:
- Lose 5 kilos. I know how much I weigh and I know how much I want to weigh. In these next 10 weeks I want to safely lose a kilo a fortnight.

- Work 100 hours in my parents wine shop. Again with the 10 weeks of holidays, 100 hours equivilates to 10 hours of work a week.

- Get my L plates and start driving! - I'm going for my test tomorrow.

- I want to learn how to cook 7 different dinner dishes (1 for each day of the week)
1. Pasta Bake
2. Spaghetti Bolganese
3. Sushi
4. Crumbed Chicken Breast
5. Stir-fry
6. Lasagna
7. Risotto

- Read 20 books. (2 books per week) But knowing me I'll read more. I'm going to start up my book blog again.

- Do my own NaNoWriMo, but I want to write 50,000 words in 10 weeks. (Takes the pressure off a bit)

That's about it right now. I want to lose weight, read, write, cook, earn money and have some fun :)

You can't say I didn't blog today. I want that bones DVD!

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.
