There’s something about preparing for something new, whether that’s a new school year or a new chapter of your life. Although it’s cliché as hell to fall for the whole “new year, new me” spiel, it’s still fun (and rewarding) nonetheless to reflect on the past year and to look ahead to the new one. […]
September Goals 2017
September brings with it the feeling of a fresh start, some kind of new chapter. After blogging about my July Goals, and quickly realising how I sucked at sticking to them, I’m back for another attempt. Let’s plunge into my goals for this month… SEPTEMBER GOALS Personal: 1) Go for a run once a week. […]
July Reflection 2017
So, how did I do with my July Goals? JULY REFLECTION Personal: 1) Go for a run 3x a week (and seriously this time). Okay, I admit it. I’m seriously bad with running and I don’t know why! I went for a total of one run the entire month. It’s so bad but I’m determined to […]
July Goals 2017
I’ve never really been into the whole ‘let me document my goals on my blog’ each month, but you know what? I think I’m going to hop on the bandwagon and join the likes of Kendel and Ella for my July Goals. I’m slowly beginning to realise that unless I physically document my goals and track […]
Thoughts #6
I haven’t written a post like this in a while but I thought it was time to write down all of the thoughts and feelings I’ve been having, especially now that I’m finally able to put them into words. It gets pretty personal. I guess you could say for the past week or so, I haven’t […]
Goals for 2017
We’re three days into the New Year so I thought it’s about time I let you all know what my Goals are. I prefer to use this term rather than ‘Resolutions’ simply because I know that I will never stick to resolutions. Goals are more definable: goals are things that you can work towards, achieve […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 11
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I survived Latin Camp! We translated roughly 700 (or was it 800?) lines of Book 6 of The Aeneid which I think is pretty impressive… It’s safe to say I’m a lot more motivated to get on and self-study Latin on my own until I start […]
Gap Year Reflections
Some of you may have seen my instagram post on Tuesday evening: After 7 months, 4 countries, 3 continents, 23 cities, 6 islands, 11 flights, 4 SIM cards, 1 homeless night, 2 Chinese visas, 1 unexpected trip to Edinburgh, 154 hours of Mandarin lessons, over 100kg of rice eaten, 3 home-stay families, 700+ Chinese students, […]
Fraser Island Part II | Cool Dingo Tours
We had heard that Fraser Island was prone to rain but we had hoped the sun would stick it out for the remainder of our tour. Unfortunately this was not the case. If you missed Part I you can catch it here. Our second day started bright and early and we were treated to a breakfast […]
New Year | Journals
I’ve kept a year-long journal/diary on and off for most years of my life. For 2015, I want to write something down every single day. Even if it isn’t a page full of writing, I want to at least write a couple of sentences about my day. I want to be able to look back […]
