So, just a quick personal post to share my New Years Resolutions. My friend and I spent a day a couple of months ago creating a lists of 100 things we want to have achieved by the time we die - some stupid, some hard, some easy, some deadly serious. I decided to use twelve as Resolutions.
January : Eat fish and chips from a fish and chip shop; I completed this one last weekend and I must say I feel truly British now, I have definitely missed out on yummy food!
February: Finish the Harry Potter Books; i am currently on book six, so fingers crossed!
March: Watch the Harry Potter Films; a marathon with my boyfriend!
April: Watch the Lord of the Rings; they are one of my friends favourite films and they don't fit her personality at all so I really need to see what the fuss about!
May: to learn how to ride a bike; I have been on one before, but I have never learnt properly and it's just one of those things I have to learn
June: have a fish pedicure; I was supposed to this for my birthday and was quite disappointed when it didn't go ahead, so yeah, a random one but I'd like to try it
July: Have learnt to drive; I started lessons about a month ago and it's safe to assume I'm not a natural driver at all. But a girl can dream eh? Fingers crossed.
August: Leave school with decent A-Levels; My absolute dream grades would be AAB, I'm predicted AAA but i'd be so happy with these grades!
September: Get into University; I have four out of five of my offers now and I think I have decided on my first choice which is AAB and my second (the only one with lower grades) which will be BBB, I really hope I achieve these because I have a real drive to keep learning.
October: Get 'para' ; I hate that phrase so much but I don't know what else to describe it as. I am a young one in my year so it will nice to be able to drink with friends and get drunk legally at uni.
November: Make a rubber band ball; You know how it is....
December: Go to Portobello Market; Last time I attempted this, i got chased down the street by a man with a charity bucket shouting at me "DO YOU WANT TO PARTY?" I think I need to try this again.
I understand to other people these may sound stupid and really easy - I bet most of you have done nearly all of these already, but a lot of them are just things I've missed out on. When I was growing up, my siblings had it very tough and the last thing on anyones mind was to fulfil the childhood things with me, and I completely understand that. I always have. But now... I want to fulfil them, and I will. Getting fish and chips was just the start - I didn't have those special takeaway days with my family, I had trying to force my sister to eat a mouthful. So they mean a lot to me, and I think thats all that matters with Resolutions :)
