I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and wonderful new year! I know I did.
And now my first post for the year is only sixteen days late!
...sorry.
I've been meaning to share all my latest with you, but I've been so so busy. You see the thing is, at the end of 2013, which- might I add- was absolutely wonderful to me, I decided 2014 would be even better. Not only would it be a good year, it would be the year that things start happening. A year of change, new beginnings, fresh starts, goals achieved and life coming together. It would be the year that things get done.
And oh, how that excites me. The hope I have for this year is on an unprecedented level, for me at least.
So, what better way to kick off my 2014- my year of getting things done- than to get some things done on a smaller scale first: my bedroom.
Around the middle of 2013, it dawned on me that my room was much less a bedroom than a storage warehouse for all the nonsense I had some how coaxed myself into hoarding. Upon doing some investigating and finding that I had a cupboard full of books from year 10, an impossible ball of headphones, cords and chargers in my bedside table, and a wardrobe that avalanched on me every time I opened the door, I decided that disaster was imminent and change was necessary.
But, as I said, this was the middle of 2013 and year 12 has no mercy and leaves you no time. So, for the next six months I lived in filth and I'm rather ashamed to say, it only got worse.
So bad, in fact, that after my last exam, I did not want to party or go on holiday or celebrate. No no. I just wanted to clean my room.
And oh, how I did just that.
Anyway, I did a lot of cleaning and a bit of re-shuffling with my furniture. I got some new additions, like bedlinen and desk organisers, and I got rid of a lot of stuff. Like, emphasis on 'a lot'.
And by 'a lot' I mean the following:
- 4 laundry baskets full of old school books and papers
- half a garbage bag of shoes
- 1 garbage bag full of school uniforms
- 2 garbage bags full of clothes
- enough dust to stuff two single bed doona covers.
And I promise you, I'm not exaggerating.
But finally, I'm finished. Everything is clean, everything is tidy, and everything is organised. Now all that's left is re-vamping my bedrooms decor, and I can't wait.
So anyway, that explains most of the reason for me being silent for a while. Other reasons include:
- my best friend and pen pal from Mexico flying halfway across the world to surprise me at my home on Christmas Day
- meeting and becoming friends with some German back packers
- getting a summer job
- getting back to fitness
- being too hot to leave the icy cold wonderland of my shower during this heat wave
These (and more) I will fill you in on later today. Apparently it's going to be 44 degrees (celsius, for any readers from around the world) so let's be honest, I won't be doing anything else.
Breakfast time now.
See you soon.
