New Year. New Me.

"So it's a new year.

A new decade is upon us.

But what will we do with it?

What does 2010 have in store for us?"

I started the year with my dear friend Chelsea. We spent 30 hours together, 5 and a half were sleeping.
We watched movies, swam, ate, then hit the sack at about 5:30am.
Going down as the sun came up.
We woke at about noon. Went downstairs at 1. Ate breakfast/Lunch. Swam. Then returned upstairs - Cat in hand - and continued with our Movies.
We Watched:
High School Reunion
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
Summer Heights High
The Proposal
Knocked Up


What are my plans for 2010?

I plan to quit my job (McDonalds, Carindale) in the coming days. I have no desire to work there anymore. I have been Employed there for about 2 months. I have $771 in my bank account. Once I quit I will search for a more fulfilling job. Work is overrated.

I plan to return to my beloved netball club for the 7th consecutive year, sacrificing the one thing that keeps me sane during the school year - My Brothers Soccer. On the bright side, We are getting new uniforms. Away with the Blue and White star printed skirt.

Speaking of uniforms.

I plan to wear my new white school blouse with pride. For too long have I suffered in the shapeless, tablecloth blouse. In 2010, I plan to better Balmoral. Along side my trusty sidekick, Jennie Ida Byrnes.

I plan to not care about most things I used to over-think.

1. I WILL NOT spend my days thinking about that boy. I WILL NOT try to impress him. For too long I have been caught up in this thing called "love". I have spent hours, days, months! thinking of ways to impress the opposite sex. But not this year! I will not let it be the only thing that matters in my life, there are bigger, better, more important issues our planet faces. It doesn't matter to 3rd world countries whether or not some 15 year old red head has a boyfriend or not. It doesn't matter to world leaders whether or not I am satisfied with my relationship status. I have waited too long in the past. Now, I just don't care. Whatever will be, will be.
2. I WILL NOT change myself to satisfy others. I WILL NOT be pushed around. I Have constantly tried to please everyone, often putting myself out, making it hard on myself. Just so I didn't face the possibility of being "alone". Who really is alone in this world? The person that might of upset a friend but still has many others to support them? Or some fighter in Afghanistan, troops lying dead around him, just wishing he had been hit, wishing he was moments from death, inches from the light? So you tell me, Which situation would you rather be in? I know my answer.
3. I WILL NOT care what others think of me. I am what I am. I can't help myself. And if you don't like it, go with somebody else. I'm not gonna change my ways. It's not a phase. This is how it is, and this is how it's going to stay.

I plan to get fitter, lose weight, eat healthier, and tan. I will better myself as a person. I will be a positive, happy, independent young woman. I will continue to make my parents proud of me. I will be a pleasure.

I plan to embrace my ranga. People say I'm pretty, but I seem to be too stubborn to see it. I have talked myself into believing I'm a minga. I have red hair. So what? It doesn't affect anyone unless I let it affect myself.
I am not fat. I am not ugly. I am Perfectly Proportioned. I am beautiful.

I plan to figure out how to say this year. At the moment I am saying 'Twenty Ten'. I think its the way to go. We will see how it progresses through the year.

New Years Resolutions.

Social - Meet 20 new people.
Academic - Receive a Subject award.
Cultural - See at least 2 shows
Sporting - Participate in as much sport as possible
Nutritional - Eat Tomato's

What will 2011 hold?
oh, who knows? I guess we will just have to wait and see.
One thing I do know for sure is.
I will be a student leader.

This is all for now.
It has been a pleasure.
