CRETE

Hello there.
I know, I know. Long time no see. I am so sorry. It has been a long time. There is no particular reason that I haven't written in a long time. I guess it's a combination of a few things. Since I have got vacation since the end of May, nothing special has happened, for example, on school. Simply because I do not go there anymore. I can tell you that I graduated! Yay! Happy me! For real, I am so happy I am finally DONE with that horrible place and that I no longer need to go there.
Second reason I do not write that often is; and again, I am sorry to begin about this again, it is because the thoughts and the compulsions and everything. Let's not go into detail about this topic. Let's say it makes simple things like just writing a blogpost very hard.
But because I didn't write for long, I now actually have something to talk about. I am on holiday, right now, as we speak. I am in Crete (or is it "on" Crete) with my mum, "stepdad" and my little sister. We arrived here four days ago. I made a video about the first three days and it is on YouTube, so if you want to see it, I will give you a link :)
One thing I can tell you is that there is a guy over here, I guess he's around 40 years old and he looks at girls all the time. He also looks at me. He follows me around and he is everywhere. That's not only with me. Also with a few other girls. We have one thing in common. We are all not much older than twenty. Dirty little creep, he is.
Tomorrow, we are going to rent a car and drive a little bit around the island. I have got a few mosquito bites already. My whole body is a bit itchy.
Haha! When my little sister and I were walking around town together in the evening, all those club owners tried to convince us to get inside their clubs. What they don't know is that I am "only" seventeen years old and that my little sister is only TWELVE. The age for legally drinking alcohol is eighteen over here. Apparently, we look old. That actually is something I rather enjoyed!
Oh; one last thing! Ouzo is very tasty and gets you tipsy very quickly. :)

Boredom

Since it is summer holiday, and I don't have any commitments, I really don't do anything all day long. The past week has past by really slowly, and I haven't done anything else than exercising, sleeping, watching television and sitting on the couch, staring like a zombie into nothingness. And doing all this makes no sense to me, so I have a plan. I am going to make a list with activities I can do when I'm bored and I'm going to do that right now. I am going to make the list as long as I possibly can, and if I think about something later, I will supplement this list immediately. If I can, I will also print this out and hang it next to my bed, so that every time I wake up and start to sigh because I don't know what I am going to do that day, I will see the list and make a plan for that day.

Okay, so... I'm leaving for my holiday in Italy on the 18th of July and I will return the 25th. Then I have exactly one week until I'm leaving, again, for Crete. I will stay in Chersonissos for two weeks. I can prepare some stuff for both vacations, like making lists for what I have to take with me or buy. Let's start this!

1. Make a lists for what to bring with me on both holidays
2. Buy a gift for my stepsisters' birthday
3. Play Minecraft
4. Play The Sims 3
5. Try to blog at least once a day
6. Re-watch Avatar (AtlA and LoK)
7. Draw manga
8. Relax in the garden
9. Go out with friends
10. Work
11. Listen to music
12. Write a story
13. Make lots of pictures
14. Exercise at least one hour every day
15. Impress random guys
16. Watch a film (you have over 700 films, so there's always at least one film you are in the mood for to watch!)
17. Download new applications for your new phone
18. Download new music
19. Read a book
20. Buy new stuff you need for your next school year (try to procrastinate this as long as possible)

These are some things I can do, but I know for sure that I will think of more things to do later, and when I will, I shall add them to this list as well!

Anyway, after I made this list, I went downstairs and ate my dinner. I would like to talk about a few things. My diet is going great for now! I didn't eat any sweets for quite a long time now, and I feel like I don't even need to any more. So that is a good thing. I used to eat a whole bag of chips a day (usually extreme big bags, 300 gram if not more) so that wasn't too good for me. I quit doing that and now I only eat fruit. I drink those breakfast drinks in the morning, eat a bowl of yoghurt with fruit in it for lunch and I eat my normal diner in the evening. I also drink lots of water, and at least one tiny cup of tea a day. When I get hungry I either eat a piece of fruit, or I eat a tiny cup of custard. I'm excited about how I will look in two weeks, because even I myself can see some changes in how I look like already, after a month of dieting (I have been eating out three times though), so these upcoming weeks look promising. 

Also when I was downstairs I was looking in the appstore if there were any fun or interesting applications that I wanted to download, and then I saw an e-reader application. I downloaded it straight away, and I am happy I did it. The first thing I did was looking if they had the book "The Perks of being a Wall Flower". I wanted to borrow that book from the library to read it during my holidays, but when I saw they have this one, I started to read the book straight away. I don't know at which page I am at the moment, but I have read twelve percent of the book already. I really like this book. I actually wanted to safe it up until I'm going on holiday, but I just couldn't stop reading it as soon as I started. I wanted to read the first page of it, so I would know a bit about the book, but it turned out that I've read like four chapter already, I guess.

And after reading a part of this book, I realise how much I love to write. Luckily I will be able to blog when I'm in Italy or Crete, because I downloaded the Blogger application for my smartphone as well. And I'm going to use it a lot. I have mentioned this a few times already, but I just cannot hide how excited I am to enjoy blogging again, as much as I used to do on my older blog (if you're curious, I already put a link to my older blog in a previous post of mine). 

Okay, but for now, I have to put an end to this blog. I am going to watch television now, and somehow I feel great right now! Hopefully this feeling will last the rest of the evening! 

Four/three positive things!

This is not going to be a whiny post! No, this one is actually going to be positive. I got four good things I want to write about and the first thing is that exam week is finally over! My last test was on last Friday and I am so happy it is over! I started learning two weeks before the exam week even started, and I have to tell you, it was exhausting. Since I have ADHD I have problem concentrating for longer that an half an hour straight, but I had to. And I did. For two weeks I did nothing else than studying, and it made me crazy. As soon as the actual exam week started, I was feeling kind of depressed, because I hadn't done much entertaining for me for two weeks. But I pushed myself further and further and I managed it somehow. Now that this week is over, and I got all my notes back, I see that all that work has not been for nothing. Except for one note (a 6.6), I got nothing below 7.1 and four of my notes are an 8 or higher. I think I may say that I can be proud of myself. I am very happy that I have no deadlines or stress for school. Summer holiday is now real close. I have to survive this week (a horrible week though) and after this week I can finally enjoy summer holiday. The only thing I have to do is return my books and then this school year is officially over.

The second good thing is that I now got a job. Two times a week I have to deliver post. I already told you that, but I am just so happy with it! After I am done tomorrow, I will get 42 euro already. And this work is not even that exhausting. On Mondays I do one hour of sorting the mail out, and on Tuesdays I need only around one hour to deliver them all. I get paid around 8.50 an hour! That is almost twice as much as most of my friends get paid. I have seriously NO regrets for applying for this job! There's nothing wrong with doing four hours of work during summer holiday, I probably will not have something better to do all day long, so why not making myself useful? I really hope I can stay after summer holiday. Because this is only a job for the holiday, but I hope that they won't fire me. They need someone for this district, so if I will do my best, why would they fire me? Let's hope for the best!

The third thing I am happy about is that I lost weight. I have been 'dieting' for a month now, but I only have been doing it rather seriously for a week now and it worked out already. Even though I went out eating two times this week, and one other time has yet to come, I lost around 2.5 kilos. I don't eat any chips or other kinds of sweats any more, and I started sporting a bit more, and I think I can see the difference already. I have three and a half weeks left before I go to Italy with my dad for a week, so if I can keep up the good work, I will be satisfied enough by then!

I actually forgot the last thing, so I cannot tell you, unfortunately, but maybe I will think of it later! This was just a little update, and for now, it is enough. I will take a shower now, and work some more on my photo album about my school trip to London from seven weeks ago, with my mum. Then I will probably eat something nice and then snuggle into my warm bed, hoping I will not fall asleep too soon, because I have to go back to school again tomorrow. A short day, fortunately, so I will survive!
