2013 down, 2014 to go!

Oh my gosh! I honestly cannot believe that 2013 is over. I know it sounds cliche but the year has gone by so incredibly fast that my head is still spinning. It has finally dawned on me that I am going to have to sit the HSC exams this year. Ahhh! 

Okay let's not worry ourselves right now and take one small step at a time; Baby steps. 
So a few days after Christmas, my family and I went berry picking. Let me tell you, it was one of the nicest and most relaxing family activity I had done in a while, although I was a bit apprehensive on going at first.

Kickin' in the back seat

Overall it was quite an experience and I enjoyed the 3 hour trip to the Berry farm because, since it was raining a couple of days beforehand, the berries were extra sweet, at least that's what the nice lady told me when I asked why they were so sweet compared to store bought berries.

I was mostly sleeping during the trip back since we had to get up early that morning, but it was good. I loved it and the views and angles were just amazing. 

Word of Advice: Open yourself up to new experiences as it can bring about great memories

Christmas Times

First of all I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, I know my family stuck to tradition and stayed up, waiting for the clock to strike twelve o'clock and announce it was Christmas. That was also the time where we give and receive presents because we may, or may not, have been good this year. 

Throughout this year, whenever I went out, I would always point something out, whoever I was with, and say, "Oooh! I want that!" and naturally after a week or so, if somebody brought it up, I would deny everything. And if I get insisted to pick something, I get really picky and indecisive, and I don't like being those things purely because it is a huge waste of time. Yep. I am a difficult person to shop for. More often than not, I have no idea what I want or need for Christmas, or even birthdays for that matter, which is why I simply try to keep my mouth shut. And more often than not, I just agree to suggestions that get thrown around so that I don't cause too much trouble for anyone. 

Honestly, I don't like people going out of their way to get me presents. Don't get me wrong, I love getting presents! It's just that I feel like they would be wasting their time because of me. This might not be the same views for different people but that's mine. I prefer gestures or actions that somehow portray a special meaning. I believe that those are the gifts that are the most special and most meaningful because they're not material things that are used and then thrown away later on, but are memories that a person has from their relative or friends or whoever they are receiving from. 

Personally, I am a hugger. I love hugs! I just love them because it's the same thing every single time but at the same time it isn't. It's always different even if you are hugging the same person - it varies and that's what is so appealing to me. Plus it is a huge gesture of affection and comfort and sometimes a hug from someone is the difference between a good and bad day. 

So Word of Advice: Don't fully rely on material things to make you happy. Look beyond that, even if it means going back to basics, and really see what makes you, or somebody special to you, happy.

As always, take care and be safe, especially this holiday season.

School's Out

Yay! School finished for the year! I can't even begin to express my joy right now. This entire year has been jam packed with so many events that I barely kept up with any of it. I am just SO glad it's over. 

Today was the last day of the year, which started off with an Extension Maths test. Sucks to be me, right? Well I didn't think it was that bad, granted that my teacher was very lenient on when the test was going to be and made sure we had enough time to prepare for it. Technically it was supposed to be last Friday but we had a Presentation Ceremony at a fancy auditorium that lasted the entire day. However a few people in my class have planned to go overseas and had to do it on the Friday so it ended up being that we had a choice for when we wanted to turn up; Friday or Monday.

Naturally I chose the Monday, along with most of my class, because we wanted to postpone it as much as possible - yes, a bad habit, I know!

So we did the test, which was around an hour and twenty minutes or so, and we missed out on clean-up (since it was the last day, we had to clean everything). Damn! We were all so sad, terribly sad, that we missed out! We've been waiting for this for a whole year!

What sucked though was that my year group gave our year coordinator an owl onesie and I missed it because of the test! Thankfully everyone had photos and it was hilarious! It was great! 

Word of Advice: If you have an awesome year coordinator like I do, or just a great teacher in general, I suggest giving a onesie as a Christmas prezzie.

I guess that's it. Thanks for reading, be safe and take care!
