How I did it
How to learn how to drive stick-shift
It took me
4 months
It made me
Proud of myself

How I did it: The ability to drive a stick-shift vehicle is in everyone. for some people it only takes a few hours to understand...for other people(such as myself) it can take a lot longer. \For myself, personally, I had to go through a lot of stress. I had a really difficult time learning because I just could not understand what I was doing.I didn't TRULY understand the method of shifting until about a week before I took my drivers test. And that was … Read how I did it…

Have a great seventeenth birthday!
I am sixteen going on seventeen... 4 weeks ago

On Friday I will wake up another year older.

I am currently “sixteen going on seventeen.”

A lot has happened in the last year. Good things, bad things, weird things, new things. Just a lot of everything, really. I’ve made friends, I’ve lost friends. I’ve grown a little and I’ve traced back over my steps a little. I’ve done some great things and I’ve done some terrible things. I’ve had some good days and I’ve had some shitty days. I’ve cried a lot and I’ve laughed a lot.

But I never once stopped learning.

In between all of the things that are going on around me I will still turn another year older on Friday and the world won’t wait up for me. Time won’t stop so I’ve got to keep on going.

December twelfth is just another day. But it also marks the 365 day count-down to my eighteenth birthday. And to me, the day of my eighteenth year anniversary on this earth- the December 12th of 2009 is of far greater importance in comparison to this Friday.

But this Friday is still a huge stepping stone towards my anxiously awaited eighteenth birthday.

I have a good attitude about everything right now so hopefully it will help carry me through till my next birthday. Until then I am crossing my fingers that this one is a memorable one in its own way. :]

Clean up my attitude
"I can feel the pressure" 1 month ago

I am generally a very happy, moderately healthy, and overall average individual. However, it seems that lately I can’t get past my mood swings. I’ve had a negative attitude about everything.

And I really hate it. I know better than this. I know that I didn’t work so hard the last three years to improve myself just to end up with an ugly attitude like this.

Right now, as I’m typing this, I’m in the right mood. I’m in control of my emotions right now. But when I lose control I can’t get through to myself. I can’t talk sense into my own mind when I snap lately.

I’ve been “snapping” a lot, too. It’s getting a little ridiculous. To be honest, I’m lucky I still have friends right now. I’ve been awfully rude. I’m just so easily irritated and I have no patience.

The only thing I can think of that might be the cause of all this is the fact that I haven’t really been sleeping much and I haven’t been eating much as well. But when I get into one of these negative moods I’m even less likely to do either.

I know all my friends and family are telling me to cut back on my hours at work, but I can’t. I need the money.

I’m currently working thirty hours a week(from 4-10:30pm)....which is five days a week, While going to school five days a week with a zero hour class from (6:55am-3:00pm). I wake up at 5:30AM and go to sleep at about One in the morning because I have so much homework to do and not enough time to get it done because I got straight from school to work. I don’t eat breakfast because I don’t have time, I eat lunch at school, but I don’t eat dinner because I’m at work. I have snacks sometimes, though.

With all this hard work I have managed to have really great grades. Only one “b” and the rest are all “A’s” I’m working towards a 4.0GPA if I can get it…I’m pretty damn close.

But in my eyes, no matter what excuse I want to make for myself, I still must clean up my act.

Enough is enough. If I truly want to be treated like an adult I must act more like one. My attitude needs to change for the better and soon before I lose everything I’ve worked so hard for.

work like I don't need the money, love like i have never been hurt and dance like no one is watching.
I've got all the money in the world, I've never cried, and I dance all the time(AS IF!). 2 months ago

When I saw this goal on someone’s page I thought to myself “Hey, I kind of want that too.” Sooo I decided that I, too, should hope to accomplish this goal.

First thing to cover: To work like I don’t need the money.
What a great goal. Seriously? This would be awesome. I need to go to work telling myself that I’m not there to be bossed around and slave away without any fun but as if I am going there because I want to be there and it can be fun and with the idea that “I don’t even need the money I’m just bored.” even if it’s not true it is a great mindset to be in. Love your work. And for the most part, I usually do.

Second part to cover: Love like I have never been hurt.
Alright. So I’ve never even been in love. So you’d think this wouldn’t apply to me, right? However I have been hurt. Many times. By family and by friends. And being hurt can prevent someone from trusting another person to the point of loving them. And I love my friends. And with love comes trust. If you love like you haven’t been hurt you put your past scars aside and move on. You’ve got to look at every sunrise as anew opportunity to start over. Each day is different and you don’t have to relive yesterday. I definitely want to be able to do this more.

Finally, part three: Dance like no one is watching.
Me…dancing? Hahaha. That is hilarious. The concept itself makes me laugh. But I know that there will be times where I’m going to be in a situation where people are dancing and I might be expected to dance a little myself. So I’ve got to get rid of the nerves. Why do I avoid going to dances? I’m not even a shy person at nature but I still don’t feel comfortable enough with myself to dance? no…that’s not it. I believe that the thing that holds me back is the idea of myself dancing and looking like an idiot. So if I dance like no one is watching, then maybe I will have more fun and loosen up a bit with it.

So to conclude this entry I just thought this was a freaking brilliant goal and that I wanted a part of it- so now I am part of it! I hope that everyone reading this can find it in themselves as well to be able to do/have done these things. :]

Wish me luck!
