I'm half in the mood to write so..

New Year's Resolutions Are Bullshit!

Firstly, that's just my opinion.Secondly, it really is true.


As you can guess, I am not the biggest fan of New Year's Resolutions. Along with other things, making these promises to yourself, when you know you're going to fail is just.. why bother?! You know there is a high chance of failing, but you still have it in your head that this year is different. This year, you're going to make a chart, make a routine, write down your list of things you're going to do by the end of the year and boom, after about 3 months max. you're back on the couch, eating a jar of Nutella with your fingers little a toddler.

I see these resolutions / tasks like I see Valentine's Day. It's useless and you can do it, and start, any and every other day of the year. Why be romantic to your partner on 17th February when you literally have 365 days to buy them flowers, chocolates and take them out to a nice dinner. Why does it have to be that one day that you can only do that? Same with resolutions that you make on 1st January. Why January 1st? Is it because it's easy to say that you started on Jan. 1? Probably yes. But still.

If you are still wondering if I have things I want to do before the end of the year, no, I don't. I do have a list of things I wouldn't mind doing, but I'm not making it my year's quest do lost 20kg and read 30 books and travel to Iceland.

Make a list of challenges that you think you can possibly accomplish, not anything crazy, but more simple things that you can do on a more daily basis and start from there. Right now I'm thinking for me:

  1. Read one full book a month.
  2. Save all the money I can.
  3. Try and work towards getting confidence to get a job.
  4. Excersice via skipping
Simple enough list I guess, I make no promises that I'll stick to it and I'm also not setting an end date because fuck that shit!

Anyway,
I hope you can do what you can in 2015 and have the best of luck!

Happy New Year: 2015

So it's now January 2nd, 2015. I hope everyone had a good and safe night on new years eve, and I hope everyone is doing alright from your parties.

Yesterday, I was on Tumblr which is normal, and I saw a post. I normally see posts like this also but I decided to do something. All the post was, all it said was "Day 1 of 365". So, nothing special. But I decieded to open Google and write about my day, but I wanted to write it a bit different. Not like it was a journal, but like a book. Even though I know it won't be read by anyone but me.. But I'm now thinking of possibly posting it. One post each day. But right know, we'll see how we go, mainly because I doubt I'll last longer then 2 weeks with this. It'll start to fade. So we shall see..


Hope you have a great 2015~!

A horrible ending to 2014

So not too long after my last post, maybe a week or something, not too long before Christmas, my boyfriend and I decided it would be best to end our 2 and a half year relationship. At that point, we were living together for a bit over a year. We both saw it coming and it was shit.
So, I'm now single and back living with my mum, who lives about 2 hours out of Adelaide. Which put a big spanner in the cogs. It just fucks up my next year or two for school.
Right now I'm thinking, do another cert II, externally, and work on getting a job in the new year. The cert II I'm thinking of doing, and most likely will do, is only a 6 month thing. So, I will need to find something else to do in semester 2 of 2015. I'm thinking, if I have a job at that point, to do a cert III in Women's Studies externally, which is only a part time course so, it'll help if I had a job. But if not that, I may have a bit more money to work with, job or no job, so I MAY be able to choose a course to do externally, and pay for that. And I mean any course that they offer externally/online.. because at that point, I may be able to pay for it. Happily.

But anyways, I should try and sleep again. I hope you had a happy holidays, unlike me, and you have an alright new years.
 Talk to you again at some point... :/

Umm.. Hello?

Hello, Hello!

Sorry for not blogging but school, you know?! Happily, I've finished all my work, I handed the last of it in yesterday and my teacher is spending the next few days marking it (there were a few assignments I needed to finish in about a week and a half, too stressful). But once everything is marked and I've passed everything, I've got a certificate II in Women's Studies. Which will be my first certificate ever. I'm happy I have a certificate, finally.

A little while ago, I was thinking about what I'm going to do in the future, but a good few years ahead, not just the next thing I'm doing. But I'm thinking of possibly doing the certificate IV in Women's studies next year. I'm also planing on going into the school to learn it, so I can try and be more social and I'll also get out of the house. I'm hoping that since I have the cert. II, it'll make the cert IV shorter, hopefully knock off 3 to 6 months off of doing, or at least give me some more free time I guess. So that's my 2015, I'm hoping, then in 2016, I'm thinking of possibly doing a diploma or an advanced diploma in something, possibly marketing, advertising or even graphic design. I guess we'll see when it gets to it, however I am leaning towards the advertising right now.

As for a job, I'm thinking, once school starts and I get into a routine, I'll look for part time jobs, possibly get a little more work experience. But once again, We'll see!

Hey, Look, School! And NaNoWriMo is on the Horizon!

I'm sorry I haven't written anything, I've still been distracted and stressing about school. I'm behind, can you imagine? Because I can!! I still have 2 modules to finish from last term, and 2 of the 5 this term have arrived. The last few should be arriving today or tomorrow and I'm actually going to try and stick to the suggested study about a week.
This certificate, to me, feel silly to me. With modules like, "How to Operate a Personal Computer" and "Use, Communicate and Search Securely on the Internet" I feel like I just want to skip it all. There was a thing on groups and some 'basic' math, which was interesting. I got through all of the math stuff in about 2 days, about 2 or so hours each day. There is an introduction type module, about women in the workforce, I think it is, the beginning of it just felt.. WHY?! It came across as being that counselor that says, "You are a special and unique snowflake, You can do anything, because you are different and amazing and special!" And I just hate people/things like that.

I was bored yesterday and I
felt like making a cover,
since I noticed you could add
one on the NaNo site so...
Also on a different note, I'm going to attempt NaNoWriMo this year, I've don't a tiny amount of planning. To the point of, I know the basic concept of what I am doing. I'm going to do a Doctor who / Minecraft fan fiction. I feel it's easy enough, I have a pre-made world, pre-made, but flexible, character, and the world is amazing open so anything can happen. I'm only really aiming for 20k to 25k words this year, because it is my first year of actually writing. But I'll see how I juggle writing 500 to 1000 words day with school work. The novel link thingy to read about it: HERE!!
