Exciting Things and Time Passing

I've been so busy lately.

And you know when it's all done and you just need to relax.

And sleep.

And Breathe.

You know?

But you can't, because the world never seems to feel like stopping with you.

And more things keep popping up and you wonder whether it'll ever end?

Well, it's been a bit like that lately.

But with Easter coming, I think finally I will be able to relax and sleep and breathe! (touch wood)

I thought it'd e nice to tell you all these things that have been keeping me busy of late.

Because.... you might be interested? Maybe?

1. A Play...

I don't think I've mentioned this here before, but recently I've been in the school play. It was pretty exciting really! I played the ugly duckling, a show pony, a magazine cover and a midget bride. Stop laughing! (Actually, keep laughing. You might as well, and I must admit when I hear like that I can't help but having a little giggle myself!) The roles aren't as minor as they sound though.... well maybe they are, but still! I was in 7 scenes of 20-25ish, so that must count for something! 

But this school play business is VERY time consuming. I was at school 15 hours a day for the performances, and had lots and lots of rehearsal beforehand. Very tiring, but totally worth it, because I've made tons of friends and it's just, well.... fun!

2. School

I guess this doesn't really count, because it hasn't been much busier than normal, but it's just so hard to keep up to date with homework and assessments and assignments when everything else is going on! And being at school for 7 hours 5 days a week doesn't help either :) But I guess I'm lucky to be getting an education, so I'm going to stop complaining now.

3. MY BIRTHDAY!

I'm a teenager! Finally! It's been heaps of fun celebrating, even if it's been a bit squeezed with everything else! I'll go into more detail about it later in it's own post, but I'll tell you this: it's been pretty amazing!

So now I've got all the ranting and complaining and unloading out of the way, I think I'll end on a more positive note: There's lots of fun planned in the next few weeks. Food, Craft and all sorts of other stuff are all on the schedule, so stay tuned!

Life Recently... (I'm Ba-aack!)

Hey! Long time no see!


Okay, well I never really see you, but you know what I mean. Don't you?


So yes, I may have posted once in the last ummmm.... week and a half, but I'm ba-aack now!


No more assesments... (well not until Thursday anyway :) ) and no more weekends away either!


So I thought I'd share some of the stuff I've been getting up to in my break this week- why not?


First up: (drum roll) Writing a picture Book


Yep! Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Well yes...


and no!


The whole 2 week English assignment being done at 1 in the morning sort of took away from the experience....


The theme was 'Cultural Perspective' so I wrote about a little girl discovering what it means to be Australian.

She's a little cutie, isn't she! Hear are a few of my favourite pages:

(Yes, I'm well aware of the error. Many an hour was spent banging my head over that one. It was an ENGLISH assessment! Oh, well!

The people and backgrounds were done on paper with water colour, and then scanned in and converted to PNGs on photoshop. Then the text was done (also on photoshop) and it was all put together in pages.


So all in all, a pretty fun assessment, but possibly giving us about 4 times as long may have been more appropriate...


just saying!


What have you gotten up to this past week?

PS. This blog turned 1 month old yesterday. How exciting! I'll do a February round-up sometime soon!

Bare with me.....

I'm just entering my first assessment period of the year and so I'm going to be REALLY, REALLY busy with schoolwork for a while. Don't worry, I'm not leaving you, just expect (slightly) less posting for a while. Believe me, I'd choose this over the schoolwork if I could!


Mia :)

why hello there!

Hi!


I'm Mia! I'm so excited to have a new place to share little things that make me happy (and that hopefully will make you feel the same!


To get started, here's ten things you probably didn't know about me:


1. I live in Sydney, Australia. Although it is very busy and big these days, I still think it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world!


2. My favourite meals of the day are breakfast and dessert! I love the warm breakfasts of winter and I really look forward to a cup of tea and a small sweet thing every night!

3. I really, really love bike riding (okay, so judging by the name of my blog, you might of guessed that, but I had to say it somewhere!). It's one of my very favourite things to do on the weekend!

4. I've been vegetarian for almost two years. I love animals, and I really hated the idea that they were dying for my dinner. I do still eat fish occasionally though, which is strictly for it's nutritional content.

5. Until now, I've shared a blog with my Mum, which you can check out here. Now I have this blog I'll probably post less often, but you might still see me lurking around!

6. I really love cooking, especially baking. If I could I'd bake something different everyday! But I can't because I don't have time, and I'd need so many ingredients, and mostly because it is (apparently) not good to live entirely on cookies and cupcakes, though I still don't see why!

7. During the day, I still attend high school. Ah, what fun! My favourite subjects are geography, art and textiles. It does mean that when I have exams I might have less time to write, but I'll deal with that at the time I suppose!


8. I live at home with my Mum, Dad and 9 year old sister. We have 4 chickens and are hoping (maybe) to get a pair of dogs later in the year. Fingers crossed!


9. I really enjoy sewing, especially that moment when you're making something and it finally turns from a bit of fabric into something useful. Aha!


10. I love owls and have collected them for years. I love to makes them, buy them, admire them and am lucky enough to have been given lots! Here is a photo of my humble collection:

I'd always love to learn about you and hear what you think about my blog. Feel free to comment!


Well that's it from me. I hope this hasn't bored you, and I promise to put more pictures in most of my posts! 


Bye!


Mia :)
