Day 10 - 15

10 - my daily routine :
5.40 wake up for seminary, get dressed, fall back asleep again until my dad drags me out of the house and into the car
6.15 - 7.05 seminary (can't believe it's my last year already!)
7.20 - 8.30 finish getting ready for school, have breakfast, make lunch, do leftover homework and go to school
8.40 - 16.00 school, consists of 40% socialising / extra curricular a (mostly volunterring) and 60% trying to do well in lessons (note the trying part)
16.00 - 17.30 diddle dallying with my brothers or napping or if I have a ton of homework I'll be doing that already
17.31 - 19.00 family time : dinner, scripture study, watching a movie / playing a game (great time of the day
19.01 - 20.00 procrastinate by either watching random videos and dancing or playing with my kid brothers
20.01 - 23.00 study time :,( filled with stress, incompetence and confusion. If there's any time left over I fill that with napping, working out (please don't laugh... I do actually work out sometimes) or talking to friends and dreaming about my future.

What does your daily routine look like?

11 -  the last book you read :

I'm ever so slowly reading the book thief. I have a tendency to read 3/4 of a book and then get distracted by school work or other things in life. So I remember the beginnings and middles of books pretty well...not so much the endings ;)

12 - something that you miss :

I miss the way I felt about life as a kid. I had no worries, nothing that stopped me from doing what I wanted, no doubts, simple fears. I felt safe, protected from the world because somebody always had my back. I miss the days when I didn't have to worry about financial support for college or what I'm meant to do about my future career life. I miss always being happy or when I was grumpy my mood could be changed by food or a toy. Yes, as a kid I yearned to grow up and be treated like an adult. But hey, I had no idea what I was getting my self into. Didn't we all? I urge kids to embrace kid hood, enjoy it while it lasts. The day will come where you can't act like a child and be super happy. People will stare and think you're mentally unstable and sadly, that day comes quicker than you'd wish.

13 - do you have any regrets?

Yes, but luckily they are all pretty simple ones, nothing life changing. Sometimes I wish I has listened to advice or done what my mother said. They really knew what was best for me.
I also regret stupid fears I used to have. Ones that really controlled my actions. I wonder how different I would be if I hadn't have had them.

Do you have any regrets? Small or big?

14 - What's on your iPod?

Truth be told, I have never owned an apple product (and I call myself and American...how disgraceful). No, I'm not poor or underprivileged because I never followed the mac crew. But i will never get sick of listening to Michael Bublé. Who would?

15 - list ten things that make you awesome

1. The fact that I'm a dual linguist. Oh yeah (makes up for my lack of musical talent)
2. My teeth aren't perfectly straight. That mostly just gives me character but I will forever have kiddy teeth
3. I adore Disney! Multiple friends have told me I should start a Disney blog but I love this one so I'll just start a Disney section ;)
4. I got 3 inches of my hair chopped off and it looks exactly the same. Magical
5. I can't whistle
6. I spend way too much time thinking about the future. My friend and I have already decided how our kids are going to dress and what we'll do with our cats if all else fails.
7. I love to cuddle
8. I'm the only girl in a five kid family
9. I've lived outside of my home country for longer than I have in it.
10. I make up crazy raps and rhyming bedtime stories.

Maybe that turned out to be more of a random facts about me list but hey ho!


So I think this system is working out quite well.

Til we meet again,
