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.





F**cking duck of my stressful life

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 :)

4. A photo of the last place you went on holiday
