The Self Discovery Project • Day 5

Monday 15th

Helllloooo again!
I was supposed to write this Tuesday and post it Tuesday afternoon but as you can tell it didn't happen. Then I wanted to write and post it yesterday but that also didn't happen..

The first thing I did (other than write a to-do list, eat, get ready, etc.) was my school work, like every other weekday. After I did some of it I went searching for a new recipe to bake and I found an amazing brownie recipe (so unhealthy though).

The reason why I baked on a Monday was not because it was Monday and we need baked goods to get us through the week, but because we volunteer at a nursing home on a Monday and I bring baked goods (these Anzac biscuits are the biggest hit so far). This is practically the only time I bake so I had to make 2 one for the nursing home and one for us (ours had choc chips), even though they don't eat much at the nursing home.

When the first one was baking and I still hadn't decided to bake another I finished reading my current book, Matilda, don't worry it was good, Roald Dahl was an amazing writer. Then I cleaned it up and started again. While that was baking I started a new book, Better Off Friends. Then we had to go to the nursing home. This week I started joining knitted squares they made, so eventually it will make a blanket.

When I got home I decided to read some more of my book. After that I was sucked in. I stayed up until 12 finishing that book. And I actually did! I finished 2 books in 1 day and finished a book in one day for the first time! Also, just to let you know, its not a big book, I can't read that fast.

Well I should get to work now, my English text book won't write itself.

P.S. I only took 1 photo and it was a crappy one of the brownie that I sent to my mum so I thought I just won't post any, although I could take one of the slice now and put it in. Thats not cheating is it?

The Self-Discovery Project

Recently I have felt really really weird (which is a quite regular thing for me) and I read this article about getting out of a rut and the reason why you feel like that. This is my explanation on that.

The reason you get in a rut is because your overloaded by ideas and thoughts that aren't yours, you get confused by all the options and don't know what to do, so you do nothing. You're trapped inside other peoples ideas and can't get yours out. You are simply not being you. Even if you think that is you, your brain is saying otherwise.

Late Night Shopping

Hey!
So in English I had to write a description of a scene and I had know idea what to describe because it gave examples of sports and concerts with I have never been to. In the end I decided to describe late-night shopping. Every Thursday at our local shopping centre its open until ten for late night shopping and its crazy so I wrote about that. I am pretty proud of it and thought I would share it here, not just for others to read but also so I can look back on it one day which I think would be cool.

My Crochet Lampshade - 2015 Project

It's been a while since I've wrote to you and I have a lot of things to tell you, but first things first my crochet lampshade. Last year I was assigned a major work (by mum) to crochet a lampshade but not just a basic lampshade, a lampshade made of crochet bits and bobs stitched together -I can't explain it any other way.

At the start of the year mum asked me to make and finish a lampshade by the end of term 2. That didn't happen and I actually (completely) finished it in the first week of January (2016). There are many reasons why I didn't finish it earlier; I'm lazy, I didn't know what I wanted to do, how I wanted it to look or how I was going to do it. Even though I finished it way way way too late I still absolutely love it!
