driving theory test

yes...its booked...thats all you need to know ...

Reading...yawnnn... but not really

So as I said earlier for my A-level English Exam I have to read a BEAST amount of books and be able to mention them all in my exam! I'm still on Wuthering Heights , which is beginning to become one of my favorite novels, even though it has to be thee most depressing novel I have ever read in my life! I have to fully start the trying to complete one of them in two weeks deal! I'm a slow reader but I really need to! but as they all have to be on the subject of love I'm so worried that I'm turning mushy...I cannot let that happen.... hmmmm

Sunday 23rd

After coming home from work i went for a ...drum roll please...a RUN! I know right , but you wanna know my motivation , well apart from enjoying the hatred that my dog was having towards me, but i had Britney classics booming from my ipod, Ive got to admit "stronger" makes me fell so pumped and keeps me going!

19th January 2011- Most productive day

I'm going to do that annoying thing were people suddenly make their blogs into diary's. But i simply must do it as this has been the most productive day I have had in quite some day and it feels so good at the end of it! Well today in school i read more of that depressing "Wuthering Heights" , i actually recommend it though! so different to your conventional love story, which i totally love! anyway that was part of my (read a book for English literature every two weeks - this one is taking way longer LOL)! anyway when i got home , i then went driving (part of my contribution to trying to get my driving test by march) it was pretty darn stressful and apart from the fact i nearly wiped out the front of my car pulling into a stupid coastal car park (don't even get me started on it, apparently my dad was not worried about the wall i was thinking he was :S ) and my dad freaking out in the passenger seat! anyway! then after dinner, i did TWO HOURS of school work (I KNOW) i forgot i only said i needed to do 1 hour every night!!! anyway i got rid of all my homework which has made me prettttty darn happy!

This is the time i started my schoolwork...

 And this is the time i ended...

as you can see , there is a dial in the background of this picture...yes that is in fact an exercise bike!! which i spent 30 minutes on straight after working for two hours! BOOM YES! this contributes to my number "30. work out for one hour every day", ah but what was not an hour you say! yip , i tanked it up with dumbbells doing 100 lifts on each arm then doing my "41. 100 sit ups every day" made it nearly (lol at "nearly") and hour! So i don't feel like such a waster anymore given that this has been one of the most productive days Ive ever had! this is probably due to the fact that i have had my brother banish my TV cable from me and confiscate it so that i cant watch TV anymore! to be honest i watch so much crap which has no impact on me whatsoever! and also i just wanted to remind you of my number "23. Have a hang out night at my house at least once every month" took place last Friday when i had two of my best friends over and we made pancakes for the majority of the night! it was such good bant!!!
p.s I'm a tank at flipping pancakes...its quite unreal! I'm like a ninja...

This was our second batch! Choc chip Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

and i found a heart shape for making pancakes with in my house! EPIC WIN! :)

also 139 views...i love you guys :)

54. Start a Prayer Diary

So this is my prayer journal for 2011. I'm sick of worrying so much and am going to pour my heart into this book. I have written my first entry and i hope i stick to it. I have never kept a diary for longer than a month, i usually only keep one when im in the states but i really wanna see how this works for me and hopefully itll really help me!

22. Pick up spanish again

I wanna listen to these whenever I can, i downloaded intermediate ones because im that great lol :S I did Spanish in school but had to drop the subject, that was like a year and a half ago! hopefully it'll come back to me...I'll be bilingual in no time...

7. Listen to a wider variety of music

I am constantly giving my ipod to friends for them to put some awesome music on it , but i feel like im constantly listening to the same stuff over and over...so i dared to do something i have never dared do before...hit "shuffle"...this is something i do then forward through every song...but im guna do it and listen to every song...

5. Read the whole bible before September

Im planing on studying Theology in September and I would like to have the whole bible read by that time for many reasons. A. I want to read and learn B. many many reasons more...so I was so delighted to receive a package from my amazing friends, basically family from KY which contained "The message" new testament, Im going to start reading this one as I have never had a message version before, its pretty neat!

47. Do a 1000 piece puzzle

Puzzles are one of those we always get as kids and they ly at the back of the cupboard collecting dust. From I was so young I have never had the patience to do a 1000 piece puzzle but have always started them and then ripped them up when i lost patience, so I now I'm starting this 1000 piece bad boy of a narnia puzzle...I'm pretty hardcore. The total inner geek in me likes this one...

p.s yea that is totally the frame of it DONE...what can i say...I'm  a TANK

Please if you have any more ideas let me know, I wanna do as much as I can this year :)

I've done this so many times I've lost count...

I know I always do this but this time as a new years resolution I am determined to sort my life out, be more disciplined and try to be a better person. 2011 has a lot in store for me , I hope to get my driving test at some point, leave high school and go to University among many other things. I have a lot of growing up to do and stuff I want to accomplish before I leave high school and begin something new and exciting at university. So I'm constructing a list, a list of things I have to do this year, things I want to accomplish or even a certain character trait I want to work on. This list will contain everything from "Learning an instrument" to "have a poker night", it can be anything. But I'm having problems coming up with things. That's where YOU come in. I need ideas. I'm going blank. Mail me , Message me , Tweet me , anything really , I'll post up what I currently have of the list later tonight but Im hoping some people will give me some ideas.

p.s also as you can tell Michelle has left the blog :( sad times, she'll be sorely missed ...<3
