Life in Progress

Howdy. This post is just a little update on my life right now.

So, I think I'm sick. I have that drained feeling in the center of my chest that makes it unpleasant to breathe. Not so good. I think I'm due for an illness, anyway, because I've not gotten sick all winter. Meh.

I'm still into minimalism and simplicity, though I'm not sure I want to become a minimalist. The whole concept of paring down just to the necessities really fascinates me. My room is a tidbit messy right now, but that's partially due to the fact that I'M ON SPRING BREAK! It's very strange to me that I only have a few, I think 7, spring breaks left. Hmm. Aging.

Either way, I still have quite a bit of homework left to do. I promised myself that I wouldn't leave it until the last minute, but that minute is fast approaching. I just need to print out a few pictures to finish up a biology project, outline a section for world studies, write a poem and essay about a poem, study for a biology test, finish 3 biology PowerPoint guides, and memorize my part of a French script for a presentation. That seems like a whole lot, but isn't. I definately don't want to have to worry about it on Easter.

Random: Today I found out that my friend is going to be in Las Vegas for the last 2 or 3 days that my family is going to be there. Also, our hotels are 0.2 miles away from each other. :) Victory.

Update on working out/eating healthier: Hasn't really happened yet. I know I need to recondition for volleyball, since I'm doing a camp in the beginning of next month, but I just haven't had the motivation/discipline to do it yet. All in due time, I suppose. Also, I think I'm going to start writing down what I eat everyday to get an accurate look at my nutrition and such. I don't know if I'll put it on here yet, bit we'll see.

Alrighty, off to rest my aching body. Sweet dreams.

Confidence level: 6
Books read this month: 1, sadly. I'm going to start rereading the Harry Potter series tonight in preparation for the next movie. :)

Updates and philosophy.

Howdy. How've y'all been? Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. I get lazy and forget. Many a thing has happened since I last posted. This is just a bit of an update on all that, plus some philosophical thoughts. :) So, I am going to 2 Taylor Swift concerts this summer! She is my #1 celebrity role model and it's crazy to think I am even going to be in the same room as her. Obviously, I am incredibly excited! This summer, in general, is supercrazy for me, what with fishing and concerts and weddings and travelling to the WEST COAST! It's going to be a blast and, cross my heart and hope to die, I promise I will blog while I'm on these adventures. Promise. Another adventure on the horizon is going to England next summer (2012)! I applied at my school to travel around England for 10 days and I got picked! All my friends that applied were also chosen to go, so this trip is going to be really memorable. More on this when the time nears. As you might remember, one of my life goals was to become a minimalist. Well, I've decided that I don't want to become one. I love that about life. You can be so passionate about one thing one minute, then the next, you can change your mind. I love it. ♥ I cleaned out my room a bit. It now has actual curtains and one less (rather large) piece of furniture, so it definitely looks opened up. So, to summarize, I do not want to become a minimalist, but I don't want to have an excess of possessions. Compromise. :) And, here come the philosophical thoughts... I've been thinking about it. I'm always thinking to myself, "I wish my teeth were whiter." "I wish I was taller." "I wish my hair was longer." "I wish my eyes were greener." When am I ever going to be satisfied with myself? Will I ever feel the contentment of knowing that I am exactly where I need to be? As I'm typing this, I have teeth whitening strips on! I want to be at peace with myself. That's something I need to work on. (Irony... improving myself so I'm content with myself.) That's going to be a new goal of mine. I am going to work on my confidence. In fact, I just went to report card pickup day at my school with my dad and almost every teacher told me I don't have enough confidence. Honestly, telling me that doesn't help. I know this. I know I need to feel comfortable with myself, but the drive has to come from me, not from anyone else. On to sunnier topics... I've been reading a blog called Tongue in Cheek lately and it's really inspired me. The writer is Corey Amaro, who is an American women who has lived in France with her husband for over 20 years. She's absolutely inspiring and her blog makes me want to live in France. The simplicity of life, going to the local bakery to get baguettes, going to brocante (antique fairs; her passion), all the little moments, cherished. It's amazing. I will definitely go to France in the future. Someday. But, for now, I sit typing away in my little hometown of nearly 3 million people. Goodnight, youngins. ♥ By the way, I'm going to be doing something that a few of the bloggers I follow do. I'll be keeping a count of certain things at the bottom of my blog posts. Hopefully I can remember. ;) Confidence level: 5 Books read this month: 1 Dreams and aspirations: countless
