9 Hours & 16 Minutes

Okay, so I know today is a Tuesday, which means Heart Du Jour day, but today is a special day. Because it's my Last Official Day of freedom. After this, all our holidays will be filled with STUDY STUDY STUDY, WORK WORK WORK. So you can see why today is a rather poignant day.

Although, I can't say I am completely sad. I mean, we're going to be SENIORS!! SENIORS!!!! Plus, the first day of year is ALWAYS fun. Everyone's brain is still mush, so there's no competition.

Anyway, back to the main purpose of this post. Here's a list of the achievements/realisations I've made in the past 6 weeks:

1. I watched welll over 30 movies. This is probably more than I have watched in the past 5 years. Actually, it would be safe to say 40 movies. Especially at the beginning of the holidays. I just sat in front of my computer, watching 4 movies a day, and eating.
2. I read the whole Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot. Yes, I'm a fan. I started reading it in year 4, and I've been hooked. Meg Cabot recently released the last book of the series, so I bought it and decided to read the whole series again from the beginning. (Yes, all 10 of the books)
3. Did I mention that I read those 10 books in 5 days? I just sat here reading about 2 books a day (sometimes 3, if I'm uninterrupted), and eating. God I'm such a slob.
4. I redecorated my room! An achievement of which I am extreeemely proud. All those hard hours of dripping with sweat (my room is upstairs, hot air rises, the temperature at ground level was 37, go figure), and my muscles crying in agony (furniture moving, paint-sponge rolling, stretching, bending, squatting, so and so). I swear I could feel the fat melt off me. I probably lost a lot of weight in those days. But then I had to gain it back on with my excessive binging.
5. I realised that I need a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
6. I also realised that my Rushh horoscope is complete BULL. WHERE ARE MY LOVERMEN. THEY WERE MEANT TO FLOCK TO ME LIKE BIRDS TO THE NORTH! OR LIKE MOTHS TO LIGHTBULBS!! WHERE ARE THEY. WHEREVER THEY ARE, THEY HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT TO WOO ME. Chances are, they won't be coming. I've given up hope.
   
7. I bought a LOT of underwear. I am not going to give you the details of the exact amount I spent, because this would convince you that I really am a lunatic, and then you'd stop reading this blog. So no. But I will say that it was a lot. And no, not just from Target or something. I mean, Elle Macpherson, Collette Dinnigan, or Bassoni. But really, nice, pretty, matching underwear makes me feel nice. You should try it.
8. Help can come from surprising places.
9. I made a school bag I am compleeeeeetely in love with. You guys will have to wait a bit longer to see it
10. I am a shopaholic. I don't mean to be. It just happened over the summer. With all the money I've been saving up from work, I felt a HUGE urge to spend it on. Like on furniture. Or curtains. Or lingerie. And now I have $30 left in the bank.

What did YOU achieve/realise this holiday?
