Back on Track!

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and I've been feeling super nostalgic. For the first time in a long time, I'm really starting to miss High School. I miss my grade 12 year when all my friends lived at home, there was a party or something to do every weekend, classes were easy and homework didn't take over my life (minus my English class), and I felt a lot better about myself in grade 12. I feel like I always used to be on the phone making plans, out with friends or even family and I never spent time at home. Now I feel all I do is go to school, come home, do homework, then go to bed. Even on weekends I find myself doing homework, studying, and hanging out with Kyle because it's the only time we really get to see eachother. I also used to feel closer to my family. My dad works out of town so I only see him every 5 days, and my mom is NEVER home. And I actually mean NEVER. So why should I be complaining? I pretty much have my house to myself all the time, I could do whatever the hell I wanted and no one would even care.

So I think starting now, I'm going to make more of an effort for a lot of things. I'm almost 19 and I still don't have my license because I'm terrified of driving, so I need to get over that fear. I need to start going to the gym because I want to feel better about myself. I need to get closer to my family and friends so I don't feel excluded anymore. I need to make time to see Kyle because he's the love of my life and I love being around him. I need to make time to do homework and study because I need to do well in school. I guess this all has to do with time management. I need to use my time wisely and stop procrastinating!!!

Sooo this is what I have to do starting November 1st.

• go to the gym at LEAST twice a week
  
• eat more healthy
  
• make time to study and do homework
  
• also make time to see friends, family and kyle.
  
• talk to my out of town friends more (and visit them!!!!)

Procrastination at its Finest

I am the worlds biggest procrastinator! I have midterms, assignments and tests GALORE in the next couple of weeks, but here I am, sitting on my couch, watching Pixar's UP. I'm just not motivated at ALL right now, but I know I'm going to regret not doing my homework by the time Tuesday rolls around. So I was hoping if I wrote a blog, then I would become a little more motivated!

So besides drowning in homework, me being Canadian, I'm celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend! This is probably my favourite holiday! I just LOVE it! I love being with my family, I love the food, I love the weather, I love that my friends come home for the weekend! What's not to like!? It sucks because my dad doesn't come home until Sunday night, so I don't get a Thanksgiving dinner until Monday, but it will be so worth the wait!

Turkey.... yumm! Stuffing.... YUMM! GRAVY!? BAH, don't even get me started. Gravy obviously makes the whole Thanksgiving meal! I'm getting excited just thinking about it, so maybe I should stop blabbing on about food.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadian Bloggers out there! :)

Show Me The World!

I like to think that I have a pretty good life. I have amazing friends, a loving boyfriend, family that is always there for me, I'm going to University to become a teacher one day. But if there was one thing in my life, that I could change, it would be that I travelled more! The only place I've ever travelled to is Hawaii (which was obviously amazing). But I want to see MORE!

Ever since I was younger, I've always wanted to travel. I still do to this day, but being a full time student in University, is very costly, so sometimes I have to cut back on things, (like eating out... shopping...all the fun things really). I hope by some miracle, that sometime in the next 3 years, my life will bring me to Europe. I want to take a picture next to the Eiffel Tower, make a wish in the Trevi Fountain, go Flamingo dancing in Spain.

I know everyone always says they want to see Europe, but I actually just want to go, SO BADLY! I guess I'll have a lot of fun working full time in the summer, trying to pay for University, and a full trip to Europe... Good Luck Misty
