HOLIDAY COUNTDOWN

Hi guys!  

Sorry I haven't been around, I've been busy living the life of the unemployed and lazy!  No, seriously, I no longer have a reason to procrastinate so I haven't been writing (it's the only task I set myself and I procrastinate it by playing on Pinterest), nor have I been reading, as reading was what I did to procrastinate.  Not that I've cleaned my room in the past 4 months, or that I'm regularly doing my chores.  But that isn't really the point.  I've just been slouching around doing not much of anything  and helping Cookie with her new online course.  

A lot has happened and I'm not actually sure where I last left off so I'll do dot point to catch you up on the life of me, Becca.

  • I graduated high school.
  • I turned 18, I just had my friends (all seven of them) come over and we played video games and watched Dexter.
  • Cookie and Zac had an altercation that has left them in a permanently fractured friendship that can never be what it once was.
  • I had streaks of my hair bleached and dyed turquoise blue.
  • I went on a ten-day holiday to Waikiki, Hawaii with my mum - I'll post pictures and such at a later date.
  • My brother-ish thing, Christopher, graduated from YWAM with his DTS training done.
  • I re-met my now grow second-cousins. 
  • Christmas came and went.
  • I joined up with Centrelink, on Jobseekers.
  • New Year started without much fuss - I did not complete my 2014 New Years Resolutions, and didn't really set any for 2015.  I will to a Throw Back Post and talk about my old resolutions sometime soon. 
  • Leprechaun/Zac has basically moved in downstairs.
  • I was baptized. 
  • I was referred to a special employment agency for people who have a health issue that prevents them from working in specific circumstance. 
  • Cookie started an online diploma for Events to give her a better understanding of the industry when it comes time for her to open her own catering company.  I personally think she should call it Cookie's Catering
  • I made a study guide for Cookie so she'll get her work done by the allocated date - not that she's really sticking to it.  But we'll work on it. 
  • I made a study plan for my brothers course, however he is less interested in following the plan set out for him.  
  • My back is still sore, however the pain has reduced monumentally, however I'm on strong medications. 

Okay, so there you go.  You've been brought up to date on my goings on.  Now to tell you about what WILL be going on.

This year my lovely mother has planned a European/Middle East Holiday for herself and me.  I won't post too many details right now, but I will over the next 31 days.  Why over the next 31 days I hear you ask?  Well, my lovely people, we will be leaving for this grand two month adventure in just 31 days! It's very exciting, and terrifying and extremely overwhelming. I feel very blessed to be given this opportunity and I hope to gain the most out of my adventure as possible.  To solidify this point, over the next month I'll be posting information about our holidays, the history of the locations, and what we'll be doing over the next month as I learn about it.  You see, my mother planned it all.  So it's a bit allover the place and I was so confused and then with the addition of the foreign names and such I was just lost.  Still am, but I'll be working on putting our itinerary onto my phone and working through the history of certain places and I'm hoping this will clear up some of my confusion. 

So, I'll be having a countdown for the next 31 Days, Each day I'll post a location we are going, a bit about the place in regards to history, and how Mum and I are going in regards to packing and getting prepared to leave on our grand adventure!

I'm sure it'll be educational for us all, and entertaining above all else.  But most of all I think it'll be good to set myself a task each day as I'm currently doing nothing.

Now, let me explain to you all why I am still unemployed and why I'm not doing any courses. You see, with my back the way it is I haven't been motivated to get a job out of fear of doing more damage or just being uncomfortable.  Since joining up with an employment agency I've obviously had to apply for a certain number of jobs per month.  With no such luck as of yet.  As for courses, well I still aspire to be a writer. I doubt that will ever change.  My only obstacle in regards to that goal is myself and my lack of motivation.  However, looking at it realistically, I need to start heading in a specific direction that will lead me to a job with a sufficient income to keep me afloat while I continue to pursue my dreams.  So I've decided to do an online course for a Diploma of Events.  I chose this field for a number of reasons, I love to make lists and plan things, I like attending events but I prefer to be the host or someone working at said event/party, and I like seeing others happy from something that I did or contributed to.  Another reason is Cookie and I plan on working in conjunction with one another once we're professionals.  That is if I don't end up as a Cruise Activities and Events Director/Manager.   How awesome would that be? 

So that's where I'm at, and that's the plan.

Live long and prosper, Godspeed

Becca
